Gum Treatment at Gentle Dental Care
If you’re experiencing early signs of gum disease, our skilled dental hygienists can help. During your visit, they will:
• Conduct a thorough hygiene assessment to identify any signs of inflammation, bleeding, soft plaque, or hardened deposits (calculus).
• Perform a scale and polish, effectively removing plaque and calculus from your teeth and gums.
For more advanced gum disease, your hygienist will refer you to the appropriate specialist. Treatments may include:
• Root planing, a deep cleaning beneath the gumline to eliminate bacteria.
• Periodontal surgery, which may involve specific surgical procedures or, in some cases, tooth extraction.
Depending on your treatment plan, your dentist may also prescribe antibiotics to support your recovery. Our award-winning specialist, Dr. Mish, is dedicated to restoring your gum health and ensuring a confident smile.

FAQs
Periodontal Treatment Croydon
You should see a periodontist when your gums are bleeding or when you feel that there are appearance of gaps in between teeth caused by recession of gums or when you feel that gums around the teeth feel swollen
Over time, the bacteria in plaque can begin to damage your gums, bones, and teeth, leading to infection, inflammation, and potentially tooth loss. If left untreated, gum disease can also impact other parts of your body, including your heart and lungs.
During your first appointment, the examination will include an evaluation of your gums, teeth, and bone around the teeth. The periodontist may also take X-rays to evaluate the health of your jawbone and assess the severity of the gum disease.
When not treated, the gums start to separate from the teeth, and pockets develop. Bacteria accumulate in these spaces, destroying gum tissue and bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. Individual teeth can be affected, or your entire mouth could be at risk.
