Is gum disease reversible?

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is completely reversible with professional treatment and good oral hygiene. Advanced periodontitis requires ongoing management but progression can be halted with proper care and regular monitoring.

No, scaling is painless. We use local anaesthesia to numb your gums, and modern ultrasonic scalers make the process quick and comfortable. Most patients experience only minor sensitivity.

How often do I need professional cleaning?

For healthy gums, we recommend professional cleaning twice yearly. If you have gum disease, you may need cleaning every 3-4 months along with root planing and periodontal therapy as recommended by our specialists.

Understanding gum disease

Gingivitis vs periodontitis

Gingivitis is early-stage gum disease where gums are inflamed, red, and may bleed during brushing. The good news? It's completely reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene.

Periodontitis is advanced gum disease affecting the bone supporting your teeth. Without treatment, it leads to tooth loss. Early detection and intervention are critical to prevent serious complications and protect your overall health.

Know the signs

Signs of gum disease

Bleeding gums

Gums that bleed when you brush, floss, or eat hard foods are a warning sign of early gum disease that requires professional attention.

Receding gumline

Your teeth appear longer because gums are pulling away from the tooth surface, exposing roots and increasing sensitivity.

Persistent bad breath

Bad breath that doesn't improve with brushing or mouthwash may indicate gum disease and bacterial infection below the gumline.

Loose teeth

Teeth that shift or feel loose indicate bone loss from advanced periodontitis and require urgent professional treatment.
