If treated early, gum disease is a manageable condition. At Aim Dental Group, we advise that if you have gum disease, or suspect you do, you should get it treated as soon as possible. Statistics show that around 75% of over-35s have or have had gum disease of some sort, so it’s important to go for regular check-ups to your dentists to ensure good oral health.

Early signs include inflammation of the gums (gingivitis)

Tender/swollen gums

Bleeding of the gums

Receding gum line

Bad taste in your mouth

Loose/wobbly teeth

Itchy/sore gums

Spaces appearing between teeth

The next stage of gum disease is periodontitis, which damages the teeth, bone and gums. If left untreated, this can cause teeth to fall out.

It’s been proven that if you have gum disease, you increase your risk of developing heart disease, vascular disease, and diabetes, as well as other health issues. As a result, it’s imperative that you see your dentist immediately if you think you might have gum disease or the early symptoms of it.

With experience in a wide range of dental issues, including the effective treatment of gum disease, our talented team at Aim Dental Group provides exceptional care for patients with this condition. We’ll work closely with you both in the clinic and at home by developing a personalised home-care plan.

We’ll keep you on the right track with advice on how best to brush your teeth and gums, as well as identifying any areas you may be missing. Regular maintenance checks with our hygienists will ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy well into the future. We also give advice on diets and the importance of staying away from sugary snacks between meals.
