Treatment aims to help control gum disease and reduce the risk of further gum damage where possible. Individual response varies and the practice will explain likely maintenance and limitations before treatment proceeds.

Periodontitis can involve loose teeth. A clinical assessment is needed to review the causes and to discuss what care options, if any, may be appropriate in your situation.

Bleeding gums can be a reason to arrange an assessment, but bleeding alone does not confirm the stage or cause of a gum problem. A dentist or hygienist can assess your gum health and explain whether care is recommended.

Deeper cleaning may be recommended to remove hardened plaque or tartar and support gum health, depending on the assessment. The clinician will explain why it may be advised and how it fits with other care.

Maintenance frequency varies according to individual need and is recommended after assessment; the practice will outline likely monitoring and maintenance during the care discussion.
