Early signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, soreness, redness, and gums that look swollen or puffy.
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.
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:
We measure pocket depths, check gum inflammation, and assess bone support to diagnose the stage of gum disease.
Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and the root surface is smoothed to help the gums reattach and heal.
Our heated ultrasonic scaler helps reduce the sensitivity often caused by cold-water cleanings.
Airflow uses warm water, air, and fine powder to remove harmful biofilm before it hardens into tartar.
We create a tailored plan based on the severity of your gum disease, lifestyle, and long-term oral health goals.
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.

Early signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, soreness, redness, and gums that look swollen or puffy.
Most patients feel only mild discomfort. We use warm-water ultrasonic cleaning and gentle techniques to keep treatment as comfortable as possible.
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.
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.
A hygiene clean focuses on routine care above the gumline. Periodontal treatment cleans deeper areas below the gumline where gum disease develops.
Most patients notice reduced bleeding and fresher breath within 1–2 weeks. Deeper pocket healing is evaluated at follow-up visits.
