Prioritise Your Gum Health for a Radiant Smile

At The Dentist Balham, we understand that having healthy gums is just as important as having healthy teeth. Many dental issues, including tooth loss, stem from poor gum health rather than just tooth decay. That’s why we emphasise comprehensive care that focuses on both your teeth and gums. 

Comprehensive Periodontal Care

Good oral health starts with regular visits to our hygienists. These appointments are crucial in preventing gum disease and ensuring your gums remain in top condition. During your visit, our skilled hygienists will provide a thorough cleaning, removing plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t eliminate. 

After your visit, we will tailor a personalised treatment plan designed to maintain and improve your gum health. Whether it’s adjusting your at-home care routine or scheduling more frequent cleanings, we have you covered. 

For more serious gum conditions, we offer advanced treatments. If necessary, we will refer you to our in-house periodontist—a gum specialist who can provide targeted care for complex periodontal issues. From deep cleaning procedures to other specialised treatments, our team is equipped to handle all levels of gum disease. 

 

Common Concerns About Gum Health

  • Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy 

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make your gums more susceptible to bleeding. While this is common, it’s not ideal. We recommend more frequent visits to the hygienist during this time to help manage and prevent gum issues. 

  • Loose Teeth 

Advanced gum disease can lead to the loss of bone supporting your teeth, causing them to feel loose. Don’t worry—early and effective intervention can significantly improve your condition. Our gum specialist will work with you to preserve your teeth and maintain your healthy smile for as long as possible. 

  • Bleeding Gums 

Bleeding gums are often an indication of inflammation due to plaque or calculus build-up. Regular hygiene visits are essential to prevent and treat this. In some cases, further treatment

Why Early Intervention Matters 

Timely care is crucial when it comes to gum health. The sooner you address any issues, the better the outcomes will be. Regular check-ups and early treatment can prevent the progression of gum disease, helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
