Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. If your gums aren’t in good shape, it can lead to more serious dental issues down the line.
At With U Dental, we’re here to help you keep your gums—and your smile—in top condition.
Whether you’re dealing with early signs of gum disease or need more advanced care, our team is ready to get your gums back to their best, so you can smile confidently.
What is this treatment?
Gum treatment at With U Dental covers a range of procedures designed to treat gum disease and maintain gum health. From routine cleanings that prevent gum problems to more specialised treatments for advanced gum disease, we offer comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding your teeth. It starts with plaque build-up along the gum line, which can lead to inflammation and, if left untreated, can progress to more severe stages, including bone loss and tooth loss. Our gum treatment services include scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning procedure), laser therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary. The goal? To eliminate infection, restore gum health, and prevent further damage.
Problems this treatment solves
Gum treatment at With U Dental addresses a variety of issues that can affect your oral health, including:
- Gum Disease: From gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) to periodontitis (advanced gum disease), our treatments help eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy gums.
- Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it’s often a sign of gum disease. Our treatments address the underlying cause, stopping the bleeding and improving gum health.
- Receding Gums: Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity and an increased risk of decay. We offer treatments to halt gum recession and, in some cases, restore lost tissue.
- Bad Breath: Chronic bad breath can be a symptom of gum disease. Our gum treatments target the source of the problem, helping to freshen your breath and improve your overall oral health.
- Loose Teeth: As gum disease progresses, it can cause teeth to become loose. By treating the underlying gum issues, we aim to stabilise your teeth and prevent tooth loss.
How It’s Done in Steps
Here’s how we tackle gum issues at With U Dental:
- Assessment and Diagnosis: We start with a comprehensive examination of your gums. This includes measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth and checking for signs of inflammation, recession, and bone loss.
- Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This might include a combination of scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and other procedures designed to treat and manage gum disease.
- Scaling and Root Planing: Often the first line of defence against gum disease, scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the roots of your teeth to help your gums reattach.
- Laser Therapy: For more advanced cases, we may use laser therapy to target and remove infected tissue, promoting healing and reducing the depth of gum pockets.
- Surgical Treatment (if necessary): In severe cases, surgical intervention might be needed. This can include flap surgery to clean the roots of the teeth more effectively or grafting procedures to restore lost gum or bone tissue.
- Maintenance and Follow-Up: After your initial treatment, we’ll work with you to maintain your gum health through regular cleanings, check-ups, and at-home care instructions. We’ll also monitor your progress to ensure your gums stay healthy.
Our thorough procedure ensures a safe, efficient and comfortable experience for you.

FAQS
How can I tell if I have gum disease?
Gum disease often starts silently, but common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and receding gums. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening.
Is gum treatment painful?
We use local anaesthesia during procedures like scaling and root planing to ensure your comfort. Some patients may experience mild discomfort afterward, but this usually subsides quickly. Our goal is to make your treatment as painless and effective as possible.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Good oral hygiene is key to preventing gum disease. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. We’ll also provide specific advice tailored to your needs during your visit.
