Gum treatment is about more than just treating a problem with your gums. At Elm House Dental, our gum treatment appointments provide personalised care, helping to improve gum health, manage existing concerns and protect your teeth while ensuring your treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
Our dental team provides gum treatment appointments designed to assess and treat issues such as gum disease, inflammation, bleeding and sensitivity. Each appointment is carefully planned with your comfort in mind, helping to improve the health of your gums, prevent problems from progressing and support your long-term oral health.
A gum treatment appointment may be right for you if:
The treatment process begins with a thorough assessment of your gum health, including measurements of any periodontal pockets and X-rays if necessary. Initially, our goal is to control the infection through deep cleaning techniques such as scaling and root planing. You may also be prescribed medications to help manage infection or pain.
If more intensive treatment is needed, we may recommend surgical options to reshape the gums and eliminate deep pockets, or procedures to regenerate any bone and tissue lost to periodontitis. Post-treatment, our team will guide you through the recovery process and recommend a routine for optimal oral hygiene to prevent recurrence.
Our periodontal treatments range from non-surgical scaling and root planing to advanced surgical interventions for severe gum disease, all aimed at restoring and maintaining gum health.
Gum treatment helps manage problems such as gum disease, bleeding, inflammation, swelling and receding gums. Treatment will depend on the condition of your gums and your individual needs.
Common signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity or loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is worth arranging an appointment.
Most gum treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Your dentist will explain what to expect and can discuss ways to help keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.
The length of treatment depends on the condition of your gums and the type of treatment required. Some patients may only need a small number of appointments, while more advanced gum problems may require ongoing care.
Yes. Gum disease can often be managed with professional treatment and good oral hygiene at home. Treating it early can help prevent the condition from progressing and protect your teeth and gums.
Treatment can help reduce inflammation, bleeding and other symptoms of gum disease. The outcome will depend on the severity of the condition and how well your gums respond to treatment and ongoing care.
This varies from person to person. Your dentist will recommend how often you need appointments based on your gum health, the treatment required and how your gums respond over time.
Brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth regularly and attending recommended dental appointments can help maintain healthy gums. Your dental team can also advise you on the best routine for your individual needs.
