Gum Disease Treatment in Swiss Cottage, NW3
Treating Bleeding and Receding Gums
UNDERSTANDING GUM DISEASE
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is caused by plaque bacteria building up along the gumline. In its early stage — gingivitis — you might notice gums that bleed when you brush, look red or swollen, or bad breath that doesn’t shift. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the bone supporting your teeth begins to break down.
The good news is that early gum disease is reversible, and later stages can be managed successfully with the right care. Our experienced team offers everything from deep cleaning to advanced periodontal treatment, tailored to how far the condition has progressed.

EARLY INTERVENTION
Why Early Treatment Matters
At London Smile Studio, we focus on both preventing and treating gum disease. Regular check-ups are the earliest line of defence, and patients at higher risk are usually seen every three to six months rather than annually.
Gum disease is far easier to treat the sooner it’s caught. Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care, while advanced periodontitis requires more involved treatment to stabilise. If specialist periodontal input is needed at any point, we’ll arrange that for you.
If you’ve noticed bleeding, swollen or receding gums, contact our Swiss Cottage team — the longer it’s left, the more damage it can do.

frequently asked questions
Common signs of gum disease include frequent bleeding while brushing, swollen or puffy gums, gum recession, tooth mobility, and changes in gum colour. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional evaluation and treatment.
The treatment is performed under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. You may experience some sensitivity in the days following the procedure, but this is usually temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
For patients with gum disease, it is often recommended to have check-ups every 3 to 6 months to monitor and manage the condition effectively. Regular visits help prevent further progression and maintain oral health.
Untreated gum disease can lead to worsening symptoms, including increased pain, tooth mobility, and eventual tooth loss. It can also affect your overall health, making early intervention and treatment crucial.
