Before you book
Questions about gums and maintenance.
Practical details to help you choose your next step.
Why might I need deep cleaning?
We measure the pockets around your teeth and check for bleeding. Pockets around 5-6 mm deep are one finding we discuss with you. Treatment can be done in one visit or split between the upper and lower teeth.
Should I ignore bleeding if it does not hurt?
No. Bleeding is worth checking, even when it happens only during brushing or flossing. An examination identifies what is contributing.
Will I need a gum specialist?
Not every patient does. For advanced or complex disease, we discuss whether a periodontist’s assessment is appropriate.
Can gum care help with persistent bad breath?
Gum problems can contribute, but breath concerns have different causes. An assessment helps direct the right care.
