Gum disease treatment - quick overview

Understanding gum disease

Gum disease, or periodontal disease or periodontitis, is a prevalent condition affecting many adults in Leeds. It occurs when plaque, a sticky film containing bacteria, accumulates on teeth and gums, leading to inflammation and infection. Gum disease can progress without proper treatment, causing irreversible damage to the gums and underlying bone structure.

We understand the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent the advancement of gum disease. Our modern techniques and compassionate care are tailored to address your specific needs, promoting healthier gums and preserving dental health for the long term.

When is gum disease treatment a good option?

  • If you have red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • When you notice persistent bad breath or a bad taste

  • If your gums are receding or teeth feel loose

  • When you experience pain or sensitivity while eating

  • If plaque and tartar buildup are affecting your gum health

Recognising the signs of gum disease

Early detection of gum disease is a big part of setting up effective treatment. Common signs include:

  • Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or eating

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Receding gums

  • Increased tooth sensitivity

  • The formation of pockets between teeth and gums

If left untreated, gum disease can lead to more severe symptoms such as loose teeth and tooth loss. Our experienced team recognises and addresses these signs quickly, providing personalised care and guidance to manage gum disease effectively and restore oral health.

How is gum disease treated?

Treatment for gum disease focuses on removing plaque and tartar buildup through professional cleanings and scaling procedures. In more advanced cases, additional interventions may be necessary, such as root planing or gum surgery.

Healthy gums are essential for supporting teeth and maintaining overall oral health. By addressing gum disease early and promoting good oral hygiene habits, we can prevent further damage and preserve the integrity of your smile.

Trusted by patients in Leeds

Anyone with poor oral hygiene is the main group at risk for gum disease. Smoking, genetics, certain health conditions, and hormonal changes can increase susceptibility.
To prevent gum disease, brush twice daily, floss daily, and schedule regular dental checkups for professional cleanings. Maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding smoking are also great ways to protect your oral health.
Untreated gum disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
Yes, gum disease can be hereditary. While good oral hygiene is crucial for everyone, some people are genetically predisposed to be more susceptible due to specific genes that affect their immune response or the structure of their gum tissue. This doesn’t guarantee you’ll develop gum disease, but it does increase your risk.
While gum disease is not directly contagious, sharing utensils or oral fluids with someone who has advanced gum disease may increase your risk.
