If you are looking for gum disease treatment near The Rye, call 01494 442922 or contact our team to arrange an assessment at Wycombe Dental Centre in High Wycombe. A dentist or hygienist will explain the findings, recommended care and personalised fees before treatment is agreed.
A clinical assessment is needed to tell the difference. Gingivitis may involve bleeding, redness or swelling; periodontitis can involve gum pockets, recession, bone loss or loose teeth. A clinician will explain which applies to you after examining the gums and supporting structures.
Treatment aims to help control gum disease, support healthier gums and reduce the risk of further gum damage where possible. Individual response and ongoing maintenance requirements vary, and your clinician will discuss realistic aims for your situation.
A loose tooth can indicate the supporting structures have been affected. An assessment is required to determine the cause and to discuss realistic aims and possible approaches tailored to your situation.
If you notice bleeding when brushing or persistent bleeding, it is sensible to arrange an assessment so a clinician can examine the gums, explain findings and advise on appropriate care and monitoring.
Depending on the assessment, care may include deeper cleaning among other options. After examining the gums and supporting structures, a clinician will explain which approaches may be suitable and why.
Maintenance frequency varies by individual need and is recommended after assessment. The practice will explain a personalised review plan based on how your gums respond to care.
Our friendly team would love to hear from you.
