The process: Gum disease treatment at Church View Dental

1.

Initial consultation

We assess your gums, take measurements, and determine if there’s inflammation or early-stage gum disease. For more advanced cases, we may recommend a periodontal assessment.

2.

Hygiene care or deep cleaning

Mild gingivitis is typically treated with a professional clean. If gum disease is more advanced, we’ll carry out scaling and root planing to clean below the gum line.

3.

Review & ongoing support

We’ll monitor your gum health and recommend a maintenance plan. For chronic cases, ongoing periodontal appointments may be needed every 3-4 months to keep your gums healthy.

Frequently asked questions about gum disease treatment in Upminster, Essex

What is gum disease and how do I know if I have it?

Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums that can cause swelling, bleeding, bad breath, and even tooth loss if untreated. Early signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing and gum tenderness. At Church View Dental in Upminster, we assess your gum health at every check-up and offer targeted treatment if needed.

Does gum disease treatment hurt?

Most patients find treatment very manageable. For deep cleans or more involved procedures, we offer local anaesthetic or numbing gel to keep you comfortable. We’ll always talk you through what to expect.

What is root planing treatment for gum disease?

Root planing is a deep cleaning treatment used to manage gum disease by smoothing the root surfaces of your teeth. This helps remove plaque and bacteria from below the gumline and allows your gums to heal and reattach more firmly to your teeth. At Church View Dental, root planing is carried out gently under local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable, and it plays a vital role in stopping gum disease from progressing and protecting your long-term oral health.

Is gum disease reversible?

Yes - when caught early as gingivitis, gum disease is usually reversible with professional hygiene care and consistent at-home oral hygiene. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can’t be reversed, but it can be managed with ongoing treatment and maintenance.

How often should I see a hygienist if I’ve had gum disease?

If you’ve had gum disease, you may need hygiene visits every 3–4 months to maintain healthy gums. We’ll tailor a maintenance plan based on your progress and risk level.

Can gum disease affect my overall health?

Yes, research shows links between gum disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. That’s why it’s important to treat gum disease early and maintain good oral hygiene.

Nervous about gum disease treatment?

If you’re anxious about gum treatment, we’ll take it at your pace. Our considerate and expertly-trained hygienists and dentists will talk you through every step and ensure you’re comfortable throughout. We’ve helped hundreds of nervous patients take control of their oral health - without fear.
