What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with the gums and the tissues and bone that support your teeth.
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, often associated with plaque. It can often be reversed with appropriate cleaning and daily care. Periodontitis involves damage to the supporting tissues and bone and requires professional treatment and ongoing maintenance.
When Should You Book a Gum Assessment?
Arrange a dental assessment if you notice:
- Bleeding when brushing or cleaning between teeth.
- Red, swollen, or tender gums.
- Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste.
- Gums receding or teeth appearing longer.
- Loose teeth or discomfort when chewing.
Gum disease may develop with little pain. Bleeding or other persistent changes should be assessed rather than ignored.
Gum Examination & Deep Cleaning
Your assessment may include measuring gum pockets, checking tooth stability, reviewing your medical history, and taking X-rays when needed to assess bone support.
Depending on the findings, treatment may include professional cleaning or scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from affected areas below the gum line.
Your dentist explains comfort measures, the number of visits, and when your gums should be reassessed.
Periodontal Surgery & Regenerative Care
When initial treatment does not adequately manage deep pockets or other periodontal problems, additional procedures may be considered.
Selected cases may benefit from surgery to improve access for cleaning or regenerative treatment intended to rebuild some lost support. Suitability depends on the pattern of tissue loss and individual risk factors.
Regeneration is not appropriate for every case, and complete recovery of lost bone cannot be promised.
Personalised Periodontal Maintenance
Long-term gum care combines professional review with effective cleaning at home. Your dentist recommends a maintenance schedule based on your gum condition and risk factors.
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between teeth using the method advised for you.
- Attend recommended cleaning and review appointments.
- Discuss support to stop smoking if you use tobacco.
Why Periodontal Care Matters
Untreated periodontitis can reduce tooth support and lead to tooth loss. Early assessment helps identify appropriate care before problems become more extensive.
Diabetes and gum disease have a two-way relationship: diabetes can increase periodontal risk, and periodontal inflammation can make blood glucose control more difficult.
Tell your dentist about your medical conditions and medicines so your care can be planned appropriately. Gum treatment supports oral health; it is not a substitute for medical care.

Periodontics & Gum Disease FAQs
Helpful answers before your gum health consultation.
Are bleeding gums normal?
Bleeding can indicate inflammation or another problem. Book an assessment if it persists, and ask your dentist how to clean the area gently and effectively.
Can gum disease be treated without surgery?
Many cases begin with non-surgical care and improved daily cleaning. Your response is reviewed before deciding whether further treatment is needed.
Is deep gum cleaning painful?
Your dentist can use local anaesthesia where appropriate. Temporary tenderness or sensitivity may occur afterwards. Comfort and recovery vary by the treatment and individual case.
Will gum disease come back after treatment?
Periodontitis needs ongoing management. Daily care, risk-factor control, and professional maintenance help reduce the risk of further progression.
Should gum health be checked before veneers or implants?
Yes. Gum health is part of treatment assessment. Active periodontal disease may need to be managed before restorative or cosmetic procedures are planned.
