Healthy gums are a vital part of your overall dental health. We provide services to keep your gums free from infection. Frenectomy Sometimes the connective tissues inside your mouth can be too tight and can cause discomfort. We provide relief from this discomfort by surgical removing the tissue. Scaling and Root Planing Tartar buildup and irregular areas on the roots of your teeth can irritate your gums and make them vulnerable to infection. We prevent this by using special tools to remove the tartar and smooth the surface of the roots. Extractions When a tooth can’t be saved with restorations, it must be removed before it puts your other teeth at risk. When we need to extract a tooth, we preserve the remaining socket to prevent it from drying out or collapsing. After extraction, we will discuss replacement options with you. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental exams are the best defence against gum disease. Book an appointment today.
What’s involved
- Gum measurement and bleeding check at every exam, so change is caught early.
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) below the gumline under local anaesthetic.
- Maintenance intervals set around your risk, not a fixed six months.
- Advice on what to change at home that actually moves the numbers.
- Referral for advanced surgical cases when that is what you need.
Periodontics (Gum Care) questions we get
My gums bleed when I brush — is that bad?
Bleeding is a sign of inflammation, not of brushing too hard. It should be checked rather than ignored.
Can gum disease be cured?
It is controlled rather than cured — like a chronic condition. With maintenance, teeth can be kept for a very long time.
Does deep cleaning hurt?
It is done with local anaesthetic, so the appointment itself is not painful. Sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
