Periodontology.
Healthy gums.

Protecting the support of your teeth

Periodontology concerns the gums and supporting tissues. Gingivitis affects the gums; periodontitis can involve loss of supporting bone.

When to seek advice

Bleeding, swelling, persistent bad breath, receding gums or loose teeth warrant an examination, even without pain.

Your care pathway

1. Assess: gum examination, pocket measurements and imaging if indicated.
2. Treat: tailored oral hygiene advice, scaling and, when needed, cleaning below the gums. Surgery may sometimes be considered.
3. Maintain: reassessment and regular reviews tailored to your needs.

Your treatment options are explained after assessment. This information cannot determine your individual care needs remotely.
