Gum Disease Treatment
Your gums are the foundation upon which your teeth are built, so they’re an extremely important part of your oral health.
Gum Disease, or Gingivitis and Periodontitis by its technical terms is a chronic disease that adversely affects the gums, teeth, and underlying bone structure. Gum Disease rarely shows any visible symptoms until it has caused irreversible damage, so good oral health care and regular check-ups are important. |
Some of the common symptoms of advanced Gum Disease include:

Additional risk factors include Smoking and uncontrolled Diabetes.
If you are diagnosed with Gum Disease, our dentist may recommend periodontal (or gum disease) treatment. The treatment for Gum Disease is usually undertaken over two appointments of between 30-90 minutes depending on the amount of tartar build-up, and how deep under the gums it resides.
Treatment involves the removal of tartar deep beneath the gums under local anaesthetic, and aims to nurse the gums back to health. Martin Dental will work with you to develop a suitable oral care plan to keep the gums healthy for the long term.
