Gum Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
If your gums bleed, feel sore, or your breath has been stubborn lately, we can help with calm, gentle care.
Protect Your Gums Before It Gets Worse
Gum disease can start quietly and progress without obvious pain. Early treatment helps stop inflammation, protect your teeth, and reduce the risk of future tooth loss. At Corio Central Dental, we focus on practical care, clear explanations, and a plan that fits your needs.

What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection and inflammation of the gum tissue caused by plaque and bacteria. In the early stage, gingivitis, gums may look red, feel tender, and bleed when brushing. If it progresses to periodontitis, the infection can affect the bone and supporting structures around the teeth.
Common signs include:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Swollen or tender gums
- Bad breath that keeps coming back
- Gum recession or teeth looking longer
- Loose teeth or changes in bite
Our Gum Disease Treatment Options
At Corio Central Dental, your care plan is tailored to the severity of your gum condition and your comfort level. Treatment may include:
- Gum health assessment and measurements
- Professional scale and clean to remove plaque and tartar
- Deep cleaning for below the gum line where needed
- Targeted antimicrobial support when appropriate
- Home care guidance for brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning
- Follow up maintenance visits to keep results stable
Why Choose Corio Central Dental for Gum Care?
We take gum disease seriously because it affects more than just your gums. Our team takes time to identify what is driving the inflammation, explain the findings clearly, and guide you through treatment without pressure. With modern diagnostics and a gentle approach, we help you get your gums back to a healthier, more comfortable state.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your visit starts with a gum assessment, including checking for inflammation, bleeding points, and gum pocket depths. We then recommend the right type of clean and treatment based on what we find. If deeper cleaning is needed, we will talk you through comfort options and aftercare so you know exactly what to do at home.
You will leave with:
- A clear understanding of your gum health

Our Procedures
Does gum treatment hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable. We use gentle techniques and can discuss numbness options if deep cleaning is needed.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the stage of gum disease. Some people improve with one or two visits, while others benefit from a short course and then maintenance.
Will my gums stop bleeding after treatment?
In many cases, yes. Bleeding often reduces once inflammation is controlled and home care is consistent.
Do you treat gum infections urgently?
Yes. If you have swelling, pain, or sudden gum changes, we prioritise urgent appointments where possible.
