Gum disease is a common condition caused by the build-up of plaque and bacteria around the teeth and gums. In its early stages, known as gingivitis, it can cause red, swollen or bleeding gums. Without appropriate care, gum disease can progress and affect the tissues and bone that support your teeth.
Early diagnosis and professional treatment can help control gum disease and protect your long-term oral health. We will assess the condition of your gums, identify contributing factors and create a personalised treatment plan. This may include professional cleaning, improved home care and ongoing monitoring, depending on your individual needs.
