Gum treatment
A structured, measurable programme of deep cleaning and coaching to stop the most common cause of adult tooth loss.
Gum disease is painless until it is advanced, which is exactly why people lose teeth to it. Bleeding when you brush is not normal, and it is the earliest sign worth acting on.
Treatment starts with a full periodontal chart — six measurements around every tooth — so we have a baseline. We then carry out deep cleaning below the gumline under local anaesthetic, usually across two longer appointments.
We re-chart at three months and compare the numbers. That is how you and we know whether it is working, rather than relying on impressions.
Who will treat you
You can request any of these clinicians by name when you book, or choose the first available appointment.

Generalised inflammation with bleeding on probing at 78 percent of sites, reduced to 9 percent at the three-month review.

Patient reviews
Dr. Jayasuriya measured everything at the start and again at three months so I could see the numbers improve. The treatment itself was not fun, but knowing it was working made the home routine much easier to stick to.
