What are Gum Disease Treatment?

Gum disease treatment encompasses a range of interventions designed to address periodontal conditions, from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Treatment typically begins with non-surgical approaches such as professional dental cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar, followed by improved daily oral hygiene practices including proper brushing and flossing. For more severe cases, treatment may include antimicrobial therapy, surgical procedures like pocket reduction surgery or guided tissue regeneration, and ongoing maintenance care with regular dental check-ups. The goal of treatment is to control infection, prevent further damage to gums and supporting structures, and in some cases, regenerate damaged tissues, though it's important to note that while gum disease can be managed effectively, it requires consistent care as it isn't completely curable.

Our Process For Gum Disease Treatment

At London Dental Specialists, our gum disease treatment is a structured, four-step process designed to restore and maintain optimal oral health. We begin with a comprehensive consultation and assessment to evaluate the extent of periodontal disease. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The treatment procedure may involve scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line, and, if necessary, surgical interventions such as flap surgery or bone grafting to address advanced periodontitis. Following treatment, we provide detailed post-care instructions and schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and prevent recurrence. This systematic approach ensures effective management of gum disease and promotes long-term dental health.

Conditions We Treat With Gum Disease Treatment

London Dental Specialists treats various dental conditions using Gum Disease Treatment in North Wembley. Our experienced team assesses each condition to establish if Gum Disease Treatment is the best treatment option for you. We provide clear advice about which conditions benefit best to Gum Disease Treatment treatment.


  • Gingivitis - The earliest stage of gum disease characterised by inflammation, redness, and bleeding of the gums. We provide professional dental cleaning and oral hygiene guidance to reverse this condition.

  • Periodontitis - A more advanced form of gum disease where infection damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. We treat this with scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and advanced surgical procedures when necessary.

  • Gum Recession - When the gum tissue pulls back from the tooth, exposing more of the tooth or tooth root. We offer guided tissue regeneration and other treatments to address this condition.

  • Gum Inflammation - Swelling of the gums that can lead to more serious periodontal issues if left untreated. We provide targeted treatments to reduce inflammation and prevent progression.

  • Gum Pockets - Spaces that form between teeth and gums where bacteria can collect. We perform pocket reduction surgery when necessary to eliminate these spaces and prevent further infection.

  • Bleeding Gums - A common symptom of gum disease that requires professional intervention. We address the underlying causes and provide treatments to stop bleeding.

  • Gum Abscesses - Painful infections that form in the gum tissue. We provide drainage, antibiotics, and follow-up care to treat these serious infections.

  • Bone Loss - Advanced periodontal disease can lead to deterioration of the jawbone. We offer regenerative procedures to help restore bone tissue where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gum disease and how does it develop?


Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It typically begins with bacterial growth in your mouth and, if not treated properly, can lead to tooth loss. The condition starts with plaque buildup, which hardens into tartar. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) causes gum inflammation, while advanced stages (periodontitis) can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. Regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists can help detect gum disease in its earliest, most treatable stages.



Can I treat gum disease myself at home?


While good home oral hygiene practices are essential, you cannot treat established gum disease entirely by yourself. Early gingivitis symptoms might improve with better oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing. Rinsing with salt water may help reduce plaque temporarily. However, once gum disease develops, professional treatment from a periodontist at London Dental Specialists is necessary. Home care should complement professional treatment, not replace it.



Is gum disease curable?


Gum disease isn't completely curable, but it is manageable with proper professional treatment. Early-stage gingivitis can be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced periodontal disease can be controlled but not eliminated entirely. At London Dental Specialists, our periodontists provide treatments that effectively manage the condition and prevent further damage to your gums and supporting bone structure. Regular maintenance appointments are crucial for long-term control.



What treatments do London Dental Specialists offer for gum disease?


London Dental Specialists offers comprehensive gum disease treatments including:



  • Professional dental cleaning (scaling and root planing)

  • Antimicrobial treatments

  • Laser therapy for gum disease

  • Surgical treatments for advanced cases

  • Periodontal maintenance programmes

  • Personalised home care instructions


Our periodontists will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the severity of your condition.



How can I prevent gum disease from getting worse?


To prevent gum disease from progressing, follow these essential steps:



  1. Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice daily – spit after brushing, do not rinse

  2. Clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes

  3. Replace your toothbrush every 1 to 3 months

  4. Attend regular check-ups and cleanings at London Dental Specialists

  5. Follow any personalised care instructions from your periodontist

  6. Avoid smoking, which significantly worsens gum disease

  7. Maintain a healthy diet low in sugary foods and drinks



What are the signs I might need gum disease treatment?


You should seek gum disease treatment at London Dental Specialists if you notice any of these warning signs:



  • Red, swollen or tender gums

  • Bleeding while brushing or flossing

  • Receding gums (teeth appearing longer)

  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste

  • Loose or shifting teeth

  • Changes in how your teeth fit together when biting

  • Pus between teeth and gums


Early intervention leads to more effective treatment outcomes.



How long does gum disease treatment take?


The duration of gum disease treatment varies depending on severity. For mild gingivitis, improvement may be seen after a single professional cleaning and improved home care. Moderate to severe periodontal disease typically requires multiple appointments over several months. At London Dental Specialists, initial non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing usually require 1-2 appointments. Following treatment, regular maintenance visits every 3-4 months are recommended to maintain gum health and prevent recurrence.



Does gum disease treatment hurt?


Most gum disease treatments at London Dental Specialists involve minimal discomfort. For non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing, we provide local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. Some mild sensitivity may occur for a few days following treatment. For surgical procedures, appropriate pain management options are provided. Our periodontists prioritise patient comfort and will discuss pain management strategies before any procedure. Most patients report that the treatments are much more comfortable than they anticipated.



Can gum disease affect my overall health?


Yes, gum disease can impact your overall health. Research has shown links between periodontal disease and several systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and pregnancy complications. The bacteria from infected gums can enter your bloodstream, potentially affecting other parts of your body. This connection, known as the oral-systemic link, highlights why treating gum disease at London Dental Specialists is important not just for your oral health but for your general wellbeing too.
