How We Treat Gum Disease at Redbourn Dentist
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our experienced team diagnoses the stage and severity of your condition, then creates a tailored treatment plan - from deep cleaning and root planing to advanced options when needed.
Deep Cleaning & Root Planing
For early to moderate gum disease, we use ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar above and below the gum line, followed by root planing to smooth the tooth roots. This helps gums reattach and reduces bacterial pockets.
Periodontal Maintenance
After initial treatment, regular maintenance is essential to monitor gum health and prevent recurrence. We recommend a personalised schedule based on your individual needs.
Specialist Referral When Needed
For complex or advanced cases, we collaborate closely with specialist periodontists and can arrange prompt referrals. Our priority is ensuring you receive the right level of care for the best outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before visiting Redbourn Dentist. Can't find your answer? Get in touch with our friendly team.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Bleeding gums when brushing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth are all common signs. If you notice any of these, book an appointment promptly.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and stabilised but not fully reversed.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
We use local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort during deep cleaning. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and are pleasantly surprised by how gentle the treatment is.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily with interdental brushes or floss, avoid smoking, and attend regular dental check-ups.
Does smoking cause gum disease?
Smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for gum disease. It reduces blood flow to the gums, impairs healing, and makes treatment less effective.
