What does periodontal treatment involve?
Periodontal treatment may involve several visits to our experienced hygiene team to ensure your condition is properly controlled and managed. Initially, we examine your gums and wider oral health, and explain the periodontal treatment options available to you.
We create your bespoke treatment plan, which includes the treatments needed and the timeframes involved. We give you the chance to ask any questions and make sure you are aware of the processes involved.
At the start of your periodontal treatment appointments, we make sure you are feeling relaxed and use local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. We professionally scale, clean and polish your teeth, using a variety of methods. We also give you some tips and advice for keeping your teeth and gums healthy at home.
We use the following guidelines and they have links available to patients:
