Gum Specialist

The duration of treatment depends on how advanced the gum disease is and how your gums respond to therapy. Initial deep cleaning may be completed over one or more visits. This is followed by review appointments to monitor healing and decide on any further steps. Long-term maintenance visits are usually recommended every few months to help keep the condition stable.

Early gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced gum disease, called periodontitis, is usually managed rather than fully cured. The goal is to control the infection, reduce inflammation, and stabilise the supporting bone and tissues. With regular specialist care and good daily hygiene, many patients maintain comfortable, functional gums for the long term.

After treatment, maintaining healthy gums involves a combination of regular professional visits and consistent home care. Brushing twice a day with a soft toothbrush, cleaning between the teeth with floss or interdental brushes, and following any specific advice from your gum specialist are important steps. Attending your recommended maintenance appointments allows your specialist to monitor your gums and address any early changes. This shared approach helps reduce the risk of future flare-ups.

While advanced gum disease is less common in children, our team can assess and manage gum concerns in younger patients where needed. Early signs such as bleeding or swollen gums are usually linked to plaque build-up or brushing technique and can be addressed with guidance and gentle cleaning. If a more complex gum condition is suspected, we will explain the findings clearly and plan care appropriate for the child’s age. Our environment is designed to help children feel calm and supported throughout their visit.
