Treat my gums

You are here:

Take the first step
towards healthier gums

Are you experiencing issues such as sore or bleeding gums? Do you notice your teeth moving or becoming looser? Are your gums starting to recede? Teeth are more often lost due to gum disease than decay, so it’s essential to keep your gums healthy and treat any issues that you might be experiencing. Catch gum disease before it becomes too advanced to avoid tooth loss – and if you are already suffering, don’t suffer in silence. Turn to the experts and allow us to help.

How can we treat your gums and make them healthier?

We have expert hygienists on hand to help you maintain or improve the health of your gums and mouth.

Your hygienist will:

  • Complete an assessment, looking for gum inflammation, bleeding, soft plaque and calculus.
  • Complete a scale and polish to remove any of these soft and hard deposits.

If your gum disease is more advanced and you are noticing issues such as bleeding gums, loose teeth or abscesses, your hygienist can offer specialist treatment or refer you on to a dentist. They may carry out treatments such as:

  • Root planing. Bacteria are cleaned from underneath the gums, getting deep into the tissue.
  • Periodontal surgery. You may require surgery or a tooth extraction if there is an infection.

Your dentist might prescribe a course of antibiotics if you need periodontal treatment.

Always have a great experience visiting Gentle Dental Care, and Dr Huda is so personable and brilliant at her job. I have been her patient for a while now but recently booked an appointment with her for my toddler. She was incredible with him. So patient and kind, and totally calmed his nerves. He even gave her a hug when leaving. Also another shout out to Nikhita on the front desk who is always so on it, and also very sweet to my little one. Would highly recommended this surgery to anyone!
