Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems in the UK, yet many people in Glasgow do not realise they have it until it becomes more advanced.
Early signs can include bleeding when brushing, bad breath, or red and swollen gums. As it progresses, gum disease can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss if left untreated.
The good news is that early stage gum disease is reversible with the right care. Professional cleaning combined with good oral hygiene at home can restore gum health and prevent further damage.
For more advanced cases, deeper cleaning and specialist periodontal care may be required. This focuses on removing bacteria from below the gum line and helping the gums to heal.
At Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry, we take a preventative and personalised approach to gum health. Our team will assess your gums, explain your condition clearly, and create a tailored treatment plan.
Regular check ups are key to catching gum disease early. If you have noticed any changes in your gums, it is important to seek advice sooner rather than later.
Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation of a confident and long lasting smile.
