GUM HEALTH · PATIENT GUIDE
Understand the signs of gum disease, why tartar returns, and how professional care supports your oral health.
Gum disease affects the tissues supporting your teeth. Plaque bacteria can lead to inflammation and, if disease progresses, damage to the supporting structures.
Healthy gums also matter when planning implants and restorative treatment.
Red, swollen or bleeding gums deserve attention rather than being ignored.
Ongoing bad breath can be associated with plaque and gum problems.
Changes in the gum line or tooth stability need a professional assessment.
Tartar is hardened plaque that needs professional removal. It may return when plaque is not fully cleared from teeth and along the gum line.
Brown staining can have different causes. Your dentist can assess the deposits and advise whether cleaning, polishing or further treatment is appropriate.
Professional removal of deposits and surface stains.
Root planing and periodontal treatment may be needed where disease extends below the gum line.
Personalised cleaning advice, gum monitoring and follow-up appointments.
Gum health is particularly important for people with diabetes. Tell your dentist about your medical history, medications and pregnancy so care can be planned appropriately.
The team can coordinate gum care with your wider healthcare needs.
