What Gum Or Periodontal Disease Means

Gum disease can affect the gums and the supporting structures around the teeth. Assessment is the way to know what is happening for you.

Gingivitis may involve bleeding, redness or swelling. Periodontitis can involve gum pockets, recession, bone loss or loose teeth. Knowing where your gums sit on that spectrum helps guide appropriate care and follow-up.

When To Seek An Assessment

You do not need to wait for a dental emergency to ask for a gum check. A short assessment can establish whether observed changes need professional attention and what follow-up might look like.

Common triggers for booking an assessment include bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath or taste, loose teeth, visible gum recession or a previous history of gum disease. A clinician will consider the information you share when explaining findings and the options available.
