Prevent tooth loss
Early intervention can help prevent tooth loss.
Gum disease can lead to widespread health problems if left untreated. The good news is that it is very easy to treat and many patients respond well to treatment. There are also steps you can take at home to keep your mouth and gums healthy.
If you're concerned about gum disease, regular trips to the dental hygienist will help you to stay on top of your oral health. Not only will you enjoy a deep and thorough professional cleaning, but you will also get personalised advice for caring for your teeth and gums at home. Every mouth is different, so how you care for your teeth might be very different to how someone else cares for their teeth.
Your dental hygienist can help you to learn the difference between different types of floss or teach you how to use interdental brushes. They can also advise on which oral care products will help to improve your oral health and which might prove to be a waste of money. And finally, they can give you personalised advice on other treatments that might be of interest to you, including cosmetic and restorative care.

How we treat gum disease
Gum disease treatment will vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and how advanced your case is. With early intervention, we might be able to prevent it with improved oral hygiene and regular hygienist cleanings.
Improve oral hygiene
Adjusting your brushing and flossing routine may be all that is needed to stop gum disease.
Regular hygienist cleanings
A scale and polish at the dentist will remove bacteria, plaque and tartar build-up.
Specialist mouthwash
Mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or hexetidine may help prevent the build-up of plaque.
Root planing
This extensive specialist cleaning gets below the gum line to remove harmful bacteria.
Tooth extraction
In some cases, extraction may be required if the tooth roots have been exposed.
Oral surgery
In advanced cases, we may recommend oral surgery to protect your remaining teeth.

Every treatment plan is unique to the patient and their needs. After diagnosing the source of your oral health problems, we’ll create a treatment plan to help you get back on track with your oral health. You’re in control of the treatments you choose every step of the way.
Once we have got your gum disease problem under control, we will recommend regular checkups to keep a close eye on your progress. We can give you advice and support for caring for your teeth at home so you don’t see a repeat of your gum disease problem.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve answered the most common patient questions below. If you still have questions about your dental treatment, get in touch to book a free consultation.
The earliest signs of gum disease include red and inflamed gums and spitting blood when you brush your teeth. If you spot any of these signs, it's important to see a dentist as soon as possible.
In some situations, your gum disease may have progressed to the point where tooth extraction is the only option. In this case, we will work with you to get your remaining teeth and gums in a healthy condition before exploring restoration options such as dental implants, a bridge or a denture.
You can get a simple scale and polish on the NHS if it is medically necessary. However, for more specialist care and longer treatment times, we recommend private gum disease treatment.
Treatment starts from just £65 for a simple scale and polish. The treatment that you require will depend on the severity of your case, so we recommend you book an appointment with our team to learn more about gum disease treatment with us.
