What is gum therapy and why is it important?

Gum therapy, or periodontal care, addresses the health of the tissues supporting your teeth. It is crucial because gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and can affect your overall health.

Maintaining gum health after therapy is key. We provide tailored home care guidance, including advice on specific cleaning tools, to help you maintain a clean environment, reduce inflammation, and ensure long-term stability for your smile.

The benefits of specialised periodontal treatment

Specialised gum therapy, such as deep scaling and root planing, cleans the root surfaces to smooth them, removing bacteria and allowing the gums to reattach to the tooth. This stops the progression of bone loss and stabilises your teeth.
