Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis - mild inflammation of the gums - but can progress to periodontitis, causing irreversible damage to gums and bone if left untreated.

The main cause is plaque buildup from poor oral hygiene, but factors like smoking, diabetes, genetics, and certain medications can increase your risk. The good news? With proper treatment and care, gum disease can be stopped and managed effectively.

At Forever Dental and Skin in Ashtead, our periodontal specialists use the latest techniques to diagnose and treat all stages of gum disease, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, helping you maintain healthy gums for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about gum disease treatment

Is gum disease treatment painful?

Modern gum disease treatments are much more comfortable than in the past. We use local anaesthetic to ensure you're numb during procedures, and many patients report minimal discomfort. Laser treatments often require less anaesthetic and heal faster with less post-treatment discomfort. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients.

Can gum disease be cured completely?

Gingivitis (early gum disease) can be completely reversed with proper treatment and oral hygiene. However, periodontitis causes permanent damage to the supporting structures of your teeth. While we can't reverse this damage, we can stop the disease progression and prevent further damage through treatment and ongoing maintenance.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration depends on the severity of your gum disease. Mild cases may require just 1-2 deep cleaning appointments. Moderate to severe cases might need multiple visits over several weeks or months. After active treatment, you'll need regular maintenance cleanings every 3-4 months to keep the disease under control.

Will my gums grow back after treatment?

Gums don't naturally grow back once they've receded due to gum disease. However, treatment stops further recession and promotes healing of the remaining gum tissue. For severe recession, we offer gum grafting procedures to cover exposed roots and restore your gum line.

Can I treat gum disease at home?

While good oral hygiene at home is essential for preventing and managing gum disease, professional treatment is necessary once the disease has developed. Home care alone cannot remove hardened tartar below the gum line or treat infected pockets. However, your daily oral care routine is crucial for treatment success and preventing recurrence.

How much does gum disease treatment cost?

Treatment costs vary depending on the severity of your condition and the procedures needed. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We offer flexible payment options and finance plans to make treatment accessible. Remember, treating gum disease now is much more cost-effective than dealing with tooth loss later.

What happens if I don't treat my gum disease?

Untreated gum disease progressively worsens, leading to tooth loss, bone damage, and potentially serious health complications. Studies link gum disease to heart disease, stroke, diabetes complications, respiratory diseases, and pregnancy complications. Early treatment prevents these serious consequences and is always easier and less expensive than treating advanced disease.
