Periodontal or Gum Treatments

One of the main problems we look out for when you come for your dental check up is gum disease. Gum disease is a bacterial gum infection caused by bacterial plaque or tartar (hardened plaque). If detected early enough, gum disease can often be treated or even cured with a good dental hygiene routine.

If left untreated, gum disease can cause real problems however, as it can eventually destroy the fibres and supporting bone that holds your teeth in place. The best treatment is prevention, but if your gum disease is at an advanced stage we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan to manage the symptoms and protect your teeth and gums from further damage.

If you feel particularly anxious or nervous about visiting the dentist, don’t worry, we also offer many of the latest sedation techniques, for a relaxing, pain-free experience.
