Who this is for
Gum Treatment may be appropriate if you:
Experience bleeding when brushing or flossing
Have swollen, tender, or inflamed gums
Notice persistent bad breath
Feel that something doesn't feel right with your gums
Have been told you have gum disease or inflammation
The objective
The aim of Gum Treatment is to reduce gum inflammation, remove harmful bacterial build-up from below the gum line where present, and stabilise the gum tissues.
The focus is on restoring health and stability, supporting the mouth's natural protective barrier rather than simply cleaning.
Healthy gums should not bleed easily. If bleeding, swelling, or persistent bad breath are present, these are signs that need proper assessment and care.
How Gum Treatment works
Non-surgical treatment
Harmful bacterial deposits are gently removed from below the gum line where present, commonly without surgical intervention.
Comfort-focused care
Local anaesthetic is used as standard to ensure comfort. Most patients do not feel discomfort during the procedure.
Methodical delivery
Care is delivered calmly and methodically, with each stage planned around your individual needs.
Treatment course
Gum Treatment is delivered over a structured course of appointments to allow the gum tissues time to respond and heal.
Care is usually delivered over two to four appointments, depending on the extent of inflammation
Each visit builds on the previous one to support healing and tissue stability
Progress is reviewed throughout treatment
A whole-body view of gum health
Inflamed gums can compromise the natural barrier between the mouth and the rest of the body. This may allow bacteria and inflammatory signals greater access beyond the mouth.
For this reason, we consider both local and wider influences on healing.
Where appropriate, this may include discussion of nutritional or health factors, often assessed as part of a Biological Foundations consultation.
Ongoing maintenance
After initial treatment, maintenance is essential to maintain gum stability.
Most patients are reviewed two to four times per year, depending on individual needs
These visits focus on monitoring, prevention, and long-term support
Where appropriate, maintenance can be arranged within our membership plans.
Supportive therapies
In selected cases, supportive tools may be used alongside mechanical treatment.
Ozone therapy
Microbiome testing
Nutrition testing
Alkaline serums
In some cases, microbiome testing may be used before and after treatment to assess changes and guide ongoing care.
Fees
