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.

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.
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.
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.
London Dental Specialists offers comprehensive gum disease treatments including:
Our periodontists will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the severity of your condition.
To prevent gum disease from progressing, follow these essential steps:
You should seek gum disease treatment at London Dental Specialists if you notice any of these warning signs:
Early intervention leads to more effective treatment outcomes.
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.
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.
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.
