The Process
We guide you through every step of the way.
Gum assessment
We check your gums and tartar and take an X-ray to see the bone.
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
Under local anaesthetic we clean below the gum, on the root. Normally all 4 quadrants in a single session.
Care at home
We show you how to brush gently and clean between your teeth while the gum heals.
Check-up and maintenance
After 6 months the doctor checks your gums; then maintenance visits so it does not come back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my gums bleed?
Almost always from inflammation caused by plaque and tartar. It is not normal and should be checked.
Is it the same as a cleaning?
No. A dental cleaning (from 66 €) removes tartar above the gum. Gum treatment cleans below it, on the root, and we quote it after the check-up.
Does it hurt?
It is done under local anaesthetic. Afterwards your gums may feel sensitive or irritated for a few days.
Can periodontitis be cured?
It is controlled and stopped. Bone that has been lost does not grow back on its own; that is why it is important to treat it early and keep up your check-ups.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how many areas need treating. Your first visit is free and includes a panoramic X-ray, a diagnosis and a no-obligation quote.
