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.

A highly professional operation that listens to your needs and provides a well detailed response. They don't rush things, are experts in their field, and listen to your concerns and explain stuff thoroughly.

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.

Very friendly and welcoming staff who know you personally

2nd May 2025

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.

1st May 2025

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

1st May 2025

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!

26th April 2025

Greeted by the reception staffI felt very comfortable with the treatment & the hygienist.
