Gum disease therapy

Gum disease is one of the most common oral diseases and affects people of all ages. Caused by a build-up of plaque and bacteria on the gum line, gum disease can lead to bleeding, inflammation and redness and if left to progress, can lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease can also be aggravated by:

  • Smoking
  • Lack of brushing or flossing
  • If you have diabetes or other chronic diseases
  • Certain medications

If you spot signs of gum disease you can initially treat these at home by stepping up your hygiene routine and using dentist-approved products. If your symptoms do not improve, your Titchfield Dental Health dentist and dental hygienist will recommend a personal oral health plan to address your individual needs. Gum hygiene is important to ensure that your teeth remain supported and healthy.

Advanced gum disease

The first stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can be simple to reverse. However, if left to progress it can develop into a more advanced form of gum disease known as periodontitis, resulting in the formation of gaps between the gums and teeth, known as pockets. More plaque can collect in these pockets and thus continue the progression of the disease. As the pockets deepen, the plaque becomes more inaccessible to cleaning, more extensive and more toxic. This leads to increasing damage to the supporting bone around the roots of the teeth.

Periodontal treatment is provided by our specialist periodontist who will clean the pockets around teeth to prevent damage to surrounding bone. The majority of Periodontal treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the tooth root surface. However, advanced cases may it also involve surgical and restorative techniques.

After initial stabilisation of the condition has been achieved, a thorough lifelong home care regime is required to prevent future lapses, along with regular monitoring and maintenance from your dentist and dental hygienist.

If you are suffering with symptoms of gum disease book a review with our dental hygiene team today.

The hygienist personally came to collect us. Linda was welcoming, friendly, interested and knowledgeable. She confirmed my comfort level frequently. She kept me informed at every stage. You should be proud to have her represent your practice.

I attended with my 2&4 year old, the staff are so good at engaging with the children whilst also attending to my care. The children always feel comfortable coming to the dentist (2 year old isn’t always so sure!) but the staff go above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and make it not a scary place.

Excellent service from the hygienist. There wasn’t a dental nurse present hence the score

Everyone is efficient friendly & capable. My only issue is that, bearing in mind I complete 1 of these surveys each time I attend the dentist could we as patients have fewer surveys to do - if I was unhappy with the service I would complain!

Titchfield Dental Practice is everything I’ve been looking for in a dentists. The staff are kind and friendly, take plenty of time to explain their procedures, and treatment plans. All options were discussed with me in a calm and relaxed manner. I didn’t feel rushed out the door, so they could see the next person, as I have in other places in the past. I have complex dental issues, and Anya has taken time and trouble to explain her decision making processes to me. Whilst I am not a fan of going to a dentist, because I’m a nervous patient, if you need a dentist, I can highly recommend this practice. I have a full on treatment plan coming up over the next few weeks, (May 2025) so I will post before and after pictures so you can get a good idea of what my experience has been.
