Stop Gum Disease. Keep Your Teeth.
For people in Nottingham who've noticed bleeding gums, bad breath, or been told they have gum disease — and want to do something about it.
Gum disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss. But it doesn't have to be.
Nearly half of UK adults have some form of gum disease. Most don't know it until they start losing teeth. The early signs are easy to ignore — bleeding when you brush, bad breath that won't go away.
The good news: caught early, gum disease is completely reversible. Even advanced cases can be managed and stabilised here in Nottingham. The key is not ignoring the warning signs.
Before
Bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, worried about losing them
After
Healthy gums that don't bleed, fresh breath, teeth that are stable and secure
Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

That doesn't improve with brushing

How We Treat Gum Disease
Treatment depends on how advanced the disease is. The earlier we catch it, the simpler the treatment.
01
Early Stage (Gingivitis)
Professional cleaning and improved home care. Usually completely reversible with proper attention.
02
Moderate (Periodontitis)
Deep cleaning under local anaesthetic to remove bacteria below the gum line. May require multiple sessions.
03
Advanced
Specialist periodontal treatment, possibly including surgical options. Ongoing maintenance essential.
The Good News
Even advanced gum disease can be stabilised with proper treatment. The key is committing to ongoing care — regular deep cleaning, good home hygiene, and monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can gum disease be cured?+
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is completely reversible. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be managed and stabilised — but not fully reversed. That's why early intervention is so important.
Why is gum disease serious?+
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It's also linked to heart disease, diabetes complications, and other health issues. The good news: with proper care, it's largely preventable and manageable.
How do I know if I have gum disease?+
Bleeding when you brush, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth are all warning signs. Many people don't know they have it until it's advanced — which is why we assess gum health at every dental health assessment.
