Gum treatment
Bleeding, swelling, recession or persistent bad breath may indicate a need to assess the tissues around your teeth. Treatment may involve more than removing visible tartar and is planned according to the extent of the problem.
Assessment
Your dentist examines the gum margins, pockets around the teeth, cleaning and, where needed, bone support. Smoking, general health and medicines are also relevant. Less bleeding alone does not prove that every problem has resolved.
Treatment stages
Improving daily care and removing deposits are usually important first steps. Deeper areas may need additional cleaning. The response is reviewed before further options are considered. Gum surgery is not required for every patient.
Your daily routine
Cleaning between teeth matters because a toothbrush does not reach every surface. Your dentist can help choose and demonstrate suitable floss or interdental brushes. Stopping cleaning altogether because gums bleed can allow deposits to build up; aggressive brushing is not the answer either.
Ongoing review
Review intervals depend on disease activity and personal risk. Receded gums or lost support cannot always be fully restored. The aim is to control the condition and establish care that can be maintained.
