JOURNEY
Your Periodontal Treatment Journey
Our periodontal pathway ensures clarity, comfort and high standards of care from consultation through to long-term maintenance.
Consultation & Diagnosis
Your specialist will assess your gums, measure pocket depths, review X-rays and discuss your symptoms to determine the severity of gum disease.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibacterial rinses or targeted antimicrobial therapy. Your plan will be tailored specifically to your needs.
Maintenance & Review
Follow-up appointments ensure your gums continue to heal and stabilise. Regular periodontal maintenance is scheduled to prevent recurrence and keep your gums healthy for life.
Bonding Material
Your dentist refines and polishes the surface to achieve a smooth, glossy, natural-looking finish.
TIPS
Gum Health Maintenance Tips
Support your periodontal treatment with simple, effective daily habits:
Brush Twice Daily
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to protect tender gums.
Clean Between Teeth Daily
Use floss or interdental brushes to remove plaque below the gumline.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking slows healing and worsens gum disease — quitting makes a big difference.
Use Antibacterial Mouthwash
Helps reduce inflammation and harmful bacteria.
Attend Regular Hygiene Visits
Your clinician will recommend how often you need supportive periodontal therapy.

Who is a periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist trained in diagnosing and treating gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. They provide both non-surgical and surgical treatments to restore gum health.
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
Common signs include:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen, sore or inflamed gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose or shifting teeth
Gum disease often develops quietly, so regular check-ups are essential.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
No. Most treatments are performed under local anaesthetic to keep you completely comfortable. Mild tenderness afterwards is normal and temporary.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be managed and stabilised with professional treatment and ongoing maintenance.
Why is gum disease a serious concern?
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss and is linked to systemic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Early treatment is essential.
