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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
