Gum disease therapy

Gum disease is one of the most common oral diseases and affects people of all ages. Caused by a build-up of plaque and bacteria on the gum line, gum disease can lead to bleeding, inflammation and redness and if left to progress, can lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease can also be aggravated by:

  • Smoking
  • Lack of brushing or flossing
  • If you have diabetes or other chronic diseases
  • Certain medications

If you spot signs of gum disease you can initially treat these at home by stepping up your hygiene routine and using dentist-approved products. If your symptoms do not improve, your Envisage Dental dentist and dental hygienist will recommend a personal oral health plan to address your individual needs. Gum hygiene is important to ensure that your teeth remain supported and healthy.

Advanced gum disease

The first stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can be simple to reverse. However, if left to progress it can develop into a more advanced form of gum disease known as periodontitis, resulting in the formation of gaps between the gums and teeth, known as pockets. More plaque can collect in these pockets and thus continue the progression of the disease. As the pockets deepen, the plaque becomes more inaccessible to cleaning, more extensive and more toxic. This leads to increasing damage to the supporting bone around the roots of the teeth.

Periodontal treatment is provided by our specialist periodontist who will clean the pockets around teeth to prevent damage to surrounding bone. The majority of Periodontal treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the tooth root surface. However, advanced cases may it also involve surgical and restorative techniques.

After initial stabilisation of the condition has been achieved, a thorough lifelong home care regime is required to prevent future lapses, along with regular monitoring and maintenance from your dentist and dental hygienist.

If you are suffering with symptoms of gum disease book a review with our dental hygiene team today.

Rang up first thing that day, had chipped big back tooth while eating breakfast. Was given appointment for the Monday, but was surprised when reception rang me back to say a different dentist could fit me in later that day! A rare thing these days!

I have been attending this surgery for 30 years plus and have always received excellent care & attention from reception to dental nurses, hygienists and dentists. The costs have risen as expected over time but costs since envisage took over can be a little scary and often determine the decisions taken on treatment I must mention how great the reception team is and always have been. I must also mention the Rodica & Jem team, they are absolutely fantastic and explain everything they are doing and planning and take as much time as needed to treat and talk me through everything.

2nd April 2025

The reception team are always very friendly and welcoming.The dentist and dental nurse are also friendly, kind and efficient.

Taken on time for my appointment. Staff friendly. Just a shame they converted the upstairs waiting area into an office as up and down stairs for dentist and hygienist appointments. Wouldn’t be great if you had mobility issues!
