All of us have bleeding gums while brushing our teeth atleast once in our lifetime.

Perhaps you’ve noticed persistent bad breath or that your gums feel tender? These are just a few warning signs of gum disease—a common yet serious condition that needs dental attention. Gum disease treatment in Keighley is designed to restore gum health, protect your teeth, and bring back your confidence—and all this comfortably.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by a build-up of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. Gum diseases can also be worsened by underlying health issues like diabetes, vitamin C deficiency, hormone imbalances, and more.

There are two main stages of gum disease:

  • Gingivitis: The earliest stage, marked by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is reversible with prompt minor treatments and good oral hygiene.
  • Periodontitis: A more severe stage where the infection spreads to the supporting structures of the teeth, including bone. It can cause gum recession, loose gums—also called gum pockets, and eventually tooth loss if not treated promptly with gum disease treatment.

Do you have gum disease?

You may need gum disease treatment if you have one or many of these symptoms. Gum disease often starts quietly, so it’s important to know the signs:

Gum bleed

Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing.

Tender gums

Red, swollen, or tender gums.

Persistent breath

Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth.

Receding gums

Receding gums that make teeth appear longer.

Loose teeth

Loose teeth or a change in how your bite feels.

Pus

Pus between the teeth and gums in advanced cases.

Who can get gum disease?

Gum diseases usually occur due to different reasons. Let us help you understand better:

  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Irregular tooth brushing habits, not flossing your teeth or rinsing your mouth after meals cause plaque accumulation with time. The plaque hardens with time to form tartar that inflames the gums.
Taylored Dental Care
  • Tobacco use: Smoking or using chewing tobacco greatly increases the risk of gum disease.
  • Genetic predisposition: Some people are more prone to gum disease due to their genetic makeup.
  • Health conditions: Diseases like diabetes can raise the chances of developing gum disease.

Frequently asked questions

Can you repair gum disease?

Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, can be reversed with teeth cleanings and proper oral hygiene. Periodontitis is also curable if effectively managed on time with the right procedures.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

We use gentle techniques and local anaesthesia to keep patients as comfortable as possible during treatment. Most patients find the procedures more comfortable than expected.

How long does gum disease treatment take?

The time required to recover depends on the severity of your condition. Early treatments, such as scaling, can be completed in a single visit, whereas advanced cases may require multiple sessions.
