Frequently Asked Questions
What is periodontal treatment and when is it needed?
Periodontal treatment focuses on managing gum disease and maintaining the structures that support the teeth. It is required when there are signs of inflammation, infection, or bone loss around the teeth.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or loosening of teeth. In many cases, gum disease progresses quietly, which is why early assessment is important.
Is periodontal treatment uncomfortable?
Treatment is carried out using gentle, controlled techniques with appropriate anaesthesia where needed. Patient comfort is carefully managed throughout.
Can gum disease be cured?
While advanced gum disease cannot always be reversed, it can be stabilised and effectively managed. The aim is to control infection and preserve the long-term health of your teeth.
Will I need ongoing care after treatment?
Yes. Periodontal health requires maintenance. A tailored long-term care plan is essential to ensure stability and prevent recurrence.
