Gum Disease (Periodontal Care)
Healthy gums are the foundation of a stable, comfortable smile.
About
Gum Disease (Periodontal Care)
Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums and supporting bone around the teeth. It often develops gradually, and many people are unaware it is progressing until changes become noticeable. Early diagnosis and ongoing maintenance are key to protecting long-term oral health and comfort.
Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis
Gums may appear red or bleed when brushing.
This stage is reversible with consistent care.
Periodontitis
The supporting bone around the teeth begins to reduce, and gums may recede.
With structured treatment and ongoing maintenance, progression can often be slowed or stabilised.
What Contributes to Gum Disease
While bacteria around the teeth play a major role, progression can also be influenced by:
- Family/genetic predisposition
- Smoking or vaping
- Diabetes
- Hormonal changes (such as pregnancy, puberty or menopause)
- Stress or reduced immunity
- Certain medications
Understanding your personal risk helps us tailor a care plan that is realistic and effective.
Warm Water Air Polishing for Thorough Biofilm Removal
We use a warm water air polishing system to remove plaque biofilm and stain — including areas that brushing and flossing cannot reach.
Benefits include:
- Effective cleaning along and under the gumline
- Supportive for managing gum disease long-term
- A smooth, refreshed finish without harsh abrasion
This approach helps maintain a clean environment around the teeth, which is essential for gum stability.

Our focus is ongoing gum health, not just one-time treatment.
We work with you to:
