Complex cases treated
Gum disease is an infection affecting the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. It can begin with bleeding or swollen gums, but may progress to gum recession, bone loss and loose teeth.
A proper assessment helps determine whether your gums need professional cleaning, deep cleaning, periodontal maintenance or more advanced treatment.
If your gums bleed, feel swollen or your teeth feel loose, gum disease may already be affecting the tissues around your teeth.
Your gums may need assessment if you notice:
Bleeding gums when brushing, flossing or eating, especially if it happens regularly.
Swollen, tender or receding gums, bad breath, bad taste or gum infection that keeps returning.
Loose teeth, shifting teeth or deeper spaces forming between the teeth and gums.
Every case starts with an assessment. Dr Chou will review your gums, check for bleeding, measure gum pockets and may recommend imaging to assess bone support around the teeth.
If gum disease treatment is recommended, you will be told what stage the condition is at, what treatment is needed and what ongoing care usually involves.
Gum disease treatment is planned around your comfort. Depending on your case, local anaesthetic may be used during deeper cleaning or more advanced periodontal treatment.
Plaque, bacteria and hardened deposits are carefully removed from around and below the gum line. This helps reduce infection and supports healthier gum tissue.
After treatment, you will be given clear home-care instructions to support healing. This may include brushing, flossing, interdental cleaning and maintenance advice.
