Periodontal treatment: Caring for your gums

great gum health

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. Periodontal disease (gum disease) can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. At Chatham Dental, we offer advanced periodontal treatments to help prevent and treat gum disease, from early-stage gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis.

  • Scaling and root planning: This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to prevent the progression of gum disease.
  • Gum health maintenance: Our team will work with you to develop a personalised plan to manage and prevent gum disease, including regular checkups and cleanings.

What’s included in periodontal treatment?

Periodontal treatment focuses on improving the health of your gums and preventing the progression of gum disease. At Chatham Dental, we use gentle, modern techniques to clean below the gumline, reduce inflammation, and protect the supporting structures of your teeth.

Here’s what’s included in periodontal care:

Comprehensive gum assessment

We measure pocket depths, check gum inflammation, and assess bone support to diagnose the stage of gum disease.

Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)

Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and the root surface is smoothed to help the gums reattach and heal.

Warm-water ultrasonic cleaning

Our heated ultrasonic scaler helps reduce the sensitivity often caused by cold-water cleanings.

Advanced biofilm removal (Airflow on request)

Airflow uses warm water, air, and fine powder to remove harmful biofilm before it hardens into tartar.

Personalised gum maintenance plan

We create a tailored plan based on the severity of your gum disease, lifestyle, and long-term oral health goals.

At-home guidance for gum care

Clear advice on brushing, flossing, interdental brushes, and lifestyle habits that support healing and prevent recurrence.

Periodontal treatment aims to stabilise gum disease early, protect the foundation of your teeth, and help you maintain a healthier smile long-term.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about periodontal treatment

Early signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, soreness, redness, and gums that look swollen or puffy.

Does periodontal treatment hurt? down pompeius blue white circle arrow right pompeius blue white circle arrow

Most patients feel only mild discomfort. We use warm-water ultrasonic cleaning and gentle techniques to keep treatment as comfortable as possible.

How many periodontal sessions will I need? down pompeius blue white circle arrow right pompeius blue white circle arrow

This depends on the severity of your gum disease. Mild cases may need one or two sessions, while more advanced cases may require multiple visits and ongoing maintenance.

Will my gums grow back after treatment? down pompeius blue white circle arrow right pompeius blue white circle arrow

Periodontal treatment helps stop further bone and gum loss, but lost gum tissue does not typically grow back. The goal is to stabilise the condition and prevent progression.

What is the difference between a hygiene clean and periodontal treatment? down pompeius blue white circle arrow right pompeius blue white circle arrow

A hygiene clean focuses on routine care above the gumline. Periodontal treatment cleans deeper areas below the gumline where gum disease develops.
