Concerned about your gums?
Gum problems don't always begin with significant pain. Changes in the appearance, comfort or stability of your gums and teeth can be reasons to arrange an assessment.
- Bleeding gums
- Red or swollen gums
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Tender or uncomfortable gums
- Loose or moving teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth meet
- Gaps developing between teeth
- Gum infections or abscesses
- Being told you have gum disease
- Being referred to a periodontist
- Concern about bone loss around your teeth
These signs can have several causes and do not on their own confirm a diagnosis. An assessment is the way to understand what is happening.

Book a Periodontal ConsultationWhat is periodontitis?
Understanding gum disease
Periodontitis is a disease of the tissues that support the teeth — the gums, the ligament around each tooth and the surrounding bone.
Stage 1
Healthy gums
Gums sit firmly around the teeth, with the supporting tissues intact.
Stage 2
Gingivitis
Inflammation of the gum tissue, often associated with redness, swelling or bleeding.
Stage 3
Periodontitis
Disease affecting the deeper tissues and bone that support the teeth.
A periodontal assessment is designed to establish whether gum disease is present, how extensive it is, which teeth or areas are affected, and which treatment options are appropriate for you.
Why periodontal care matters
Supporting the foundations of your smile
The gums and the bone beneath them form the foundation around every tooth. Periodontal disease affects these supporting tissues, which is why changes in the gums are worth taking seriously.
The aim of periodontal treatment is to manage the disease and to support the long-term health of the teeth and gums, with care planned around your own diagnosis.

Not sure what treatment you need?
You don't need to know which treatment is appropriate before booking. Your periodontal consultation is designed to assess your gums and determine the appropriate treatment options.
Book a Periodontal ConsultationGum recession
Receding gums and root coverage
Gum recession can expose the root surface of a tooth, change the appearance of the gum line, or make a tooth feel sensitive. It can have several causes.
- Exposed tooth roots
- Changes to the gum line
- Sensitivity at the neck of a tooth
- A tooth that looks longer than it used to
An assessment establishes what is contributing to the recession in your case and whether treatment is appropriate. Not every area of recession needs surgical treatment; where root coverage is suitable, gum graft surgery may be one of the options discussed with you.
