Frequently asked questions
These answers are general guidance. Your dentist will advise you based on an examination.
When should I be concerned about my gums?+
Bleeding gums when brushing, persistent bad breath, swollen or red gums, or any teeth feeling looser than usual are signs that a dental evaluation is needed. Early gum disease is much easier to manage than advanced cases.
Is gum disease reversible?+
Early gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with appropriate treatment and improved home hygiene. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be stabilised and managed, but not fully reversed.
Is gum treatment painful?+
Deep cleaning is typically done under local anaesthesia for comfort. Mild soreness after treatment is normal and usually short-lived.
Can gum disease affect my general health?+
Research links gum disease to conditions including heart disease and diabetes. Managing gum disease supports not just oral health but overall wellbeing.
How many appointments will I need?+
Typically 2–4 appointments depending on the severity, followed by regular maintenance visits to keep gum health stable.
