What Is Gum Disease?

A Common Condition, Seriously Treated.

Gum disease is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. It progresses in two stages: gingivitis, the early stage marked by swollen, bleeding gums, and periodontitis, the advanced stage that begins to affect the underlying bone structure.

Caught early, gingivitis can be reversed completely. Advanced gum disease can be managed and stabilised with ongoing specialist care — which is why prompt assessment matters so much.

Causes of Gum Disease

What Puts Your Gums at Risk.

Gum disease rarely has a single cause. These are the factors we assess at every periodontal consultation.

01

Poor Oral Hygiene & Plaque Buildup

Plaque and tartar that accumulate below the gumline are the primary driver of gum inflammation, and cannot be removed by brushing alone.

02

Smoking & Tobacco Use

Tobacco significantly increases the risk and severity of gum disease, and slows the healing of gum tissue after treatment.

03

Hormonal Changes & Medications

Pregnancy, menopause and certain medications can make gum tissue more sensitive and more vulnerable to inflammation.

04

Genetics & Systemic Disease

A family history of gum disease, or systemic conditions such as diabetes, can predispose you to periodontal problems regardless of hygiene.

Aesthetic Gum Correction

Beyond treating disease, our specialists reshape and rebalance gum tissue so it frames your teeth properly.

What happens before treatment, and what protects your gums once it is done.

schedule

Pre-Procedure Preparation

Before treatment we carry out a full periodontal assessment to establish the stage of gum disease and what is driving it. Non-surgical periodontal therapy is explored first wherever it is appropriate — surgery is never the automatic first step. We explain the plan and the pricing clearly, so you know exactly what to expect before anything begins.

During & Aftercare Protocol

Most patients resume normal activities within one to two days, though complete healing of the gum tissue takes several weeks. Afterwards, meticulous oral hygiene matters most: brush twice daily, floss, use mouthwash, avoid tobacco entirely and keep to a balanced diet. Patients with a history of gum disease should return for professional cleaning every three to four months rather than every six.
