Periodontics
Periodontal treatment removes bacterial plaque and tartar that builds up above and below the gumline, through deep cleanings known as scaling and root planing.

What is it?
Gums that bleed, swell or recede are a warning sign. If left untreated, gum disease can affect the bone that holds your teeth in place.
With early diagnosis and the right treatment, most cases can be controlled effectively. Maintenance visits then help to keep the results.
Who is it for?
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Receding gums or teeth that look longer
- Loose teeth or persistent bad breath

Frequently asked questions
Every case is different: at your first visit we will assess whether this treatment is right for you.
Bleeding is usually caused by inflammation due to bacterial plaque. It should be checked, as it may be the start of gum disease.
It is done under local anaesthesia, so it is comfortable. You may feel mild sensitivity for a few days.
It can be controlled very well with treatment and maintenance. The goal is to stop it progressing and keep your teeth.
