Periodontist Cambridge

Gum disease is an infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth caused by plaque and bacteria. It can range from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to more advanced disease (periodontitis), which may lead to bone loss and tooth loss if left untreated.

Common symptoms include bleeding gums, swelling or redness, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and discomfort when chewing. Some patients may have gum disease with little or no pain, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Early stages can often be managed with Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (NSPT), including deep cleaning and oral hygiene advice. Advanced cases may require surgical treatments such as pocket reduction, regenerative procedures, or soft tissue grafts.

During a consultation, the periodontist will carry out a thorough examination of your gums and teeth, assess bone levels, and may take X-rays. You will receive a clear diagnosis, treatment options, and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
