Healthy gums are vital to a strong, lasting smile. When gum disease develops, it can quietly affect the tissues that hold your teeth in place and compromise oral health over time.
Periodontal care at the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology is guided by prevention and precision. The goal is to restore gum stability and create a healthy foundation that supports both function and appearance.
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, occurs when plaque and bacteria irritate the gums and surrounding tissues. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, it may cause redness and bleeding. If left untreated, it can progress to a more severe infection, affecting the bones and ligaments that support the teeth.
How is it treated?
Treatment begins with a detailed examination and professional cleaning to remove plaque and bacteria that have collected around the gumline. In more advanced cases, deeper therapy may be needed to encourage healing and restore stability.
Your clinician will guide you through the process and recommend follow-up care to support recovery.
How can you maintain gum health?
Long-term success depends on ongoing care and consistency at home. You can help maintain healthy gums by:
- Brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush
- Cleaning between your teeth regularly
- Visiting your dentist for professional cleanings as advised
- Maintaining a balanced diet that supports gum health
Together, these small habits can make a lasting difference.
