Gum Disease Treatment
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. It progresses in two stages:
🔹 Gingivitis: Early-stage gum disease with red, swollen gums that bleed easily. It is reversible with professional cleaning and proper oral care.
🔹 Periodontitis: Advanced gum disease that leads to gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth. Without treatment, it can result in tooth loss.
If left untreated, gum disease can also increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can gum disease be cured?
Yes! Gingivitis can be reversed with professional cleaning and good oral care. Advanced periodontitis can be managed to prevent further damage.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
If you have bleeding, swollen, or receding gums, or experience bad breath, you may have gum disease. Book a check-up for a proper diagnosis.
Can gum disease make my teeth fall out?
Yes! Untreated periodontitis leads to bone loss, which can cause teeth to become loose and fall out.
Is gum disease painful?
In the early stages, gum disease is painless, which is why many people don’t realise they have it. As it progresses, it can cause pain, sensitivity, and discomfort.
