What is Gum Disease?
READ MORE
A common condition that affects every 9 in 10 people.
Gum or Periodontal Disease leads to inflammation of the gums and affects the tissue around the teeth and the gums, which ultimately causes swelling and redness. It equates to gum pain, bone damage, and damage to the ligaments that hold the teeth in place.
What are the symptoms of Gum Disease?

Periodontal Disease is not always painful: visit your dentist for regular check-ups to ensure your teeth are healthy. Check these signs of Gingivitis, Periodontitis, and Advanced Periodontitis:
Bleeding gums when you brush your teeth
Redness or swelling of the gums
Bad taste in your mouth
Gum recession
Wobbly teeth
Abscesses
Stage 1: Gingivitis
READ MORE
Gingivitis causes the gums to become red, swollen, tender, or bleed when brushing or flossing.
Good oral hygiene can reverse gingivitis by removing any calculus and build-up around the teeth and the gums. The dentist will advise regular scales and polishes every 3 to 6 months.
Stage 2: Periodontitis
READ MORE
Periodontitis results from untreated gingivitis: plaque spreads in a pocket below the gum line.
Professional periodontal cleaning removes this hard plaque that the toothbrush cannot reach and prevents gum disease from spreading, but periodontitis is irreversible as the pockets have damaged the supporting bone and the fibres that hold the teeth.
Periodontal treatment involves regenerating lost tissue and bone using membranes or proteins derived from the enamel matrix. Gingival and bone grafts will cover the recession and replace the eroded bone.
Stage 3: Advanced Periodontitis
READ MORE
Advanced periodontitis destroys the fibres and the bone of your teeth, causing your teeth to shift or loosen and the pockets to become more profound.
This disease affects your bite, your communication and your ability to eat.
Your teeth may be removed if the periodontal treatment in stage 2 cannot save them. We provide multiple restorative options to regain functionality, health and a smile with the best aesthetic results.
