Gum Disease & Treatment

Protect the foundational health of your smile and stop the silent progression of gum disease with our specialized periodontal treatments. Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss, typically starting as mild inflammation (gingivitis) before advancing into a serious infection (periodontitis) that targets the supportive bone anchoring your teeth.

At Fenix Dental, we deliver advanced, highly targeted gum therapies designed to halt infection, eliminate stubborn plaque and tartar, and heal swollen tissues. Our experienced clinical hygienists and dental teams use precise diagnostic tools to catch gum disease early, safeguarding your natural teeth and your overall physical wellness.

The Benefits of Professional Periodontal Care

Prioritizing your gum health with the clinical team at Fenix Dental delivers profound advantages for your mouth and your wider bodily health:

Saves Loosening Teeth

Clearing the deep-seated bacterial infection removes the chronic inflammation causing teeth to slowly loosen and shift over time.

Eliminates Chronic Bad Breath

Removing the deeply hidden, decaying bacteria underneath the gumline permanently freshens your breath far better than mouthwash can.

Protects Systemic Health

Active gum disease is clinically proven to enter the bloodstream, increasing risks for heart disease, diabetes, and strokes. Healing your gums protects your whole body.

Reverses Early Gingivitis

Catching gum disease at its earliest stage allows us to completely reverse the inflammation, returning your gums to flawless health.

Reduces Sensitivity

Removing rough tartar build-up and healing the gum tissue reduces painful root exposure, soothing daily hot and cold nerve sensitivity.

Secures Aesthetic Dentistry

Beautiful cosmetic dental treatments like veneers or implants require a completely healthy, disease-free foundation to succeed long term.

"Investing in regular dental hygiene appointments is one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy smile and prevent avoidable dental problems."

• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All You Need to Know

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is the early, superficial stage of gum disease, characterized by red, bleeding gums, which can be fully reversed. Periodontitis is the advanced stage where the infection travels below the gums, actively breaking down the bone anchoring your teeth.

For standard surface cleaning, you will only feel a mild tickling or vibrating sensation. For deeper cleaning beneath the gumline, we apply a gentle local anaesthetic to thoroughly numb the gums, ensuring you feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout.

Gums bleed because harmful plaque bacteria have built up, causing inflammation. You should absolutely not stop brushing or flossing; instead, focus on gentle, thorough cleaning and book a professional hygiene appointment immediately to clear the hardened tartar.

If you are recovering from active periodontitis, we typically recommend visiting our clinical hygienist every 3 to 4 months. This frequent schedule prevents aggressive bacteria from reforming inside the healing gum pockets.
