Gum Treatment

Effective treatment for gum disease, bleeding gums, and long-term oral health improvement — before it threatens the teeth themselves.

Gum treatment procedure at Twins Dental Clinic

Why healthy gums matter

Gum disease usually starts quietly — slight bleeding when brushing, mild redness, occasional bad breath. Left untreated, it can progress from gingivitis to periodontitis, which damages the bone supporting your teeth and can eventually lead to tooth loss.

At Twins Dental Clinic, we treat gum disease at every stage — from a deep professional cleaning to more advanced periodontal therapy — with the goal of stopping the disease and rebuilding a healthy foundation for your teeth.

Signs you may need gum treatment

  • Gums bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
  • Red, swollen or tender gums
  • Gums pulling away from teeth, making them look longer
  • Loose or shifting teeth

Aftercare tips

  • Use a soft-bristled brush and rinse as advised
  • Avoid smoking — it significantly slows gum healing
  • Keep every follow-up appointment, even once symptoms improve

Frequently asked questions

Can gum disease be fully cured?

Early gingivitis is fully reversible with treatment and good home care. More advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised long-term, though it needs ongoing maintenance.

Is deep cleaning painful?

We use local anesthesia for deeper pockets, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward is normal.

Why do my gums bleed even though I brush regularly?

Bleeding usually means plaque has built up below the gumline, where a toothbrush can't reach. A professional deep clean is needed to remove it.
