What Gum And Periodontal Disease Means

Gingivitis may cause bleeding, redness or swelling of the gums and is a prompt for clinical review. A dental clinician will assess your gums before recommending care.

Periodontitis refers to more advanced changes that can include gum pockets, gum recession, bone loss or loose teeth and requires assessment to understand the situation. Treatment aims to help control gum disease, support healthier gums and reduce the risk of further gum damage where possible.

Signs And Reasons To Seek An Assessment

Some symptoms are immediate prompts to seek a clinical review, such as bleeding gums, gum inflammation and persistent bad breath. Only an examination can show how severe a problem is and what options may be needed.

Other changes that merit review include gum recession or any tooth mobility such as loose teeth, and a history of gum disease that needs checking. If you notice these issues, arrange an assessment so a clinician can determine urgency and likely options.

After assessment you will receive a diagnosis and a personalised discussion of appropriate care options and likely monitoring. Fees and consent are explained so you can decide about any recommended care and how follow-up is arranged.
