Understanding Gum Health
Healthy gums matter at every stage of life.
Gingivitis is an early form of gum disease commonly associated with plaque accumulating around the teeth and gumline. The gums may become red, swollen, or prone to bleeding.
When gum inflammation is not addressed, it may progress to periodontitis, a more advanced condition that affects the tissues supporting the teeth. The earlier a gum problem is assessed, the sooner you can understand the care it may require.
When should you seek advice?
Repeated gum bleeding, swelling, tenderness, or persistent
bad breath should not be ignored. A dental examination
can help determine the cause.
Recognise the Signs
Common Signs of Gum Disease
Gum problems can begin with subtle changes. Look out for these symptoms and seek dental advice if they persist.
01
Bleeding gums
Bleeding during brushing or flossing can indicate gum inflammation.
02
Redness and swelling
Gums may appear puffy, red, tender, or uncomfortable.
03
Persistent bad breath
Ongoing unpleasant breath or taste may be associated with gum problems.
04
Receding gums
Gums that pull away from the teeth should be professionally assessed.
05
Tooth sensitivity
Sensitivity may have several causes, including exposed tooth roots.
06
Loose teeth or bite changes
These symptoms require prompt evaluation of the supporting tissues.
Personalised Dental Care
Gum Disease Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the cause of the inflammation and the condition of your gums. Your dentist will recommend care after assessing your oral health.
02
Professional Dental Cleaning
Professional scaling can remove plaque and hardened tartar that contribute to gum inflammation, including deposits in areas that are difficult to clean at home.
03
Ongoing Gum Care
Personalised brushing advice, cleaning between teeth, and appropriate follow-up visits can help maintain gum health and monitor changes over time.
Every patient is different.
Advanced gum disease may require periodontal treatment
or deep cleaning rather than routine cleaning alone.
Your dentist can explain which option is appropriate
following an examination.

Common Questions
Gum Disease FAQs
Find answers to common questions about gum symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
If you have persistent symptoms, arrange an assessment rather than relying on online information alone.
Can gingivitis be treated?
Gingivitis can often improve with appropriate professional cleaning and effective daily oral hygiene. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the inflammation.
Do bleeding gums always mean gum disease?
No. Bleeding can have different causes, but recurring bleeding should be assessed by a dentist to identify the underlying problem.
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis affects the gums and is generally an earlier stage of gum disease. Periodontitis affects deeper supporting tissues and may damage the bone around teeth.
Will I need deep cleaning?
Not everyone needs deep cleaning. Your dentist will assess your gums and recommend routine cleaning or periodontal treatment according to your clinical needs.
When should I seek urgent dental care?
Seek prompt dental care for worsening gum swelling, pus, severe pain, or a loose tooth. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
