Gum Disease Treatment in Poole

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We can help.

Do you spit blood when you brush? Are your gums sore or swollen? These are early warning signs of gum disease. At Dental Centre Poole, we offer expert gum disease treatment in Poole to stop the disease in its tracks, restore your gum health, and protect your teeth for the long term. Don’t ignore bleeding gums; let our team provide the periodontal therapy you need.

What is Gum Disease (Periodontitis)?

Icon

Gum disease is a common condition caused by plaque build-up. It’s typically split into two stages:

  1. Gingivitis: This is the early, reversible stage. You may notice bleeding gums, redness, or swelling. At this point, professional cleaning and improved home care can fully resolve the issue.
  2. Periodontitis: If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. This is a more serious, irreversible condition where the infection spreads to the bone and tissues supporting your teeth. This can lead to gum recession, bad breath, and even tooth loss

What Symptoms Can Gum Treatment Address?

Our comprehensive gum treatments are designed to tackle all signs of gum disease, from mild to advanced. We provide:

  • Treatment for bleeding gums
  • Relief from sore or swollen gums
  • Solutions for persistent bad breath (halitosis)
  • Management for receding gums
  • Stabilisation for loose teeth caused by periodontal issues

Our Gum Treatment Process in Poole

Icon

Our goal is to get your gum health back on track with a personalised and thorough treatment plan:

  1. Periodontal Examination: We conduct a detailed assessment of your gums, measuring any “pockets” around your teeth to determine the stage of the disease.
  2. Professional Cleaning: For gingivitis, a thorough scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) with our dental hygienist in Poole is often the main treatment. This removes hardened plaque (tartar) from above and below the gum line.
  3. Oral Hygiene Instruction: We show you the most effective techniques and tools (like interdental brushes) to control plaque at home.
  4. Follow-Up Care: We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure the disease is under control.

Are You at Risk for Gum Disease?

Icon

While plaque is the main cause, certain factors increase your risk. You may need a gum health assessment if you:

  • Smoke or use tobacco
  • Have diabetes
  • Have a family history of gum disease
  • Are under significant stress
  • Are pregnant

If you’re in a high-risk group or have any symptoms, it’s vital to seek a dental check-up in Poole.

Cost of Gum Treatment in Poole

The cost of periodontal treatment varies depending on the severity of your condition and the complexity of the treatment required. We believe in transparent pricing and will provide a full breakdown after your initial examination. We also offer flexible dental finance options to help make your treatment affordable.

Some of our lovely REVIEWS

Helpful and Friendly

I have just joined the dental practice and found the staff very professional. The dentist and dental nurse were very helpful and friendly. Felt at ease and I received a lot of useful information about the condition of my teeth. My last dentist felt like I was going through a car wash so it’s nice to be treated as a patient not a customer.

One of best I’ve experienced

I've been with this dental practice for around 10 years and I have to say this is one of best I have ever experienced. I finally decided to have some wonky front teeth sorted here, and they did an absolutely amazing job. Definitely 5 stars!

Would highly recommend this service

What an absolutely fantastic experience. Since moving to Dorset I've been concerned about finding a new dentist as I've had bad experiences in the past. I needn't have worried. Friendly helpful and professional from the moment I walked through the door. Would highly recommend this service. If I could give 6 starts I would. Thanks to all the staff at The Neighbourhood Centre

I highly recommend this practice

After leaving a dentist who neglected issues I had, I am so happy to have found a dentist who is such a credit to her profession. The reception staff are really helpful too. My dentist and her dental nurse provided excellent care and made me feel so at ease. I highly recommend this practice. They also made the dentist experience an easy one for my daughter. She is only 2 and they were so patient with her and made sure she didn't feel scared. This meant a lot to me knowing future visits will be easy.

They really put me at ease

My dental experience was very positive mainly due to the friendly and relaxing manner of the dentist and her assistant. They really put me at ease both during my check up and when I had a filling. My dentist was very informative throughout with regards to treatment options.
