Bleeding gums or gum concerns?
Gum disease treatment Brisbane
Bleeding when you brush, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding? Book gum treatment consultation. We examine the cause and explain whether you need a routine clean, deeper periodontal care or specialist advice.
You receive a treatment plan and fee estimate before any recommended gum treatment begins.

What we check
Gum disease assessment for bleeding gums and recession
A gum assessment looks beyond what is visible in the mirror. Your dentist checks bleeding, plaque and calculus, gum pocket depths, recession and tooth stability. X-rays may be recommended to assess the supporting bone. This helps distinguish early inflammation from periodontitis and guides the next step.
Bleeding gums and gingivitis
Bleeding is worth checking, even if it happens only while brushing or flossing. Early gum inflammation may respond to professional cleaning and changes to home care.
Periodontitis, recession or loose teeth
These signs need an examination. Causes vary, and more involved periodontal treatment or referral may be appropriate when supporting tissues are affected.
Your treatment pathway
Gum disease treatment options: cleaning and deep cleaning
For early inflammation, we may recommend a professional clean and practical advice for cleaning around and between the teeth. When deposits extend below the gums or deeper pockets are present, a staged deep cleaning or periodontal debridement may be recommended. Local anaesthetic can be discussed if needed.
We then review your response and agree on a maintenance interval based on your risk and gum stability. For advanced or complex disease, we can discuss referral to a periodontist.
A standard six-monthly check-up and clean is a different appointment from active gum disease treatment. We explain which type of visit fits your findings.

Before you decide
Periodontal care: what to expect and what it costs
First visit and treatment quote
Tell us about bleeding, bad breath, sensitivity, previous gum care or a loose tooth. We examine your gums, explain the findings and discuss options. The number of visits and cost depend on what we find.
When to call promptly
Pus, painful swelling, fever or a rapidly worsening problem may need urgent assessment. Call the team or see our emergency dental care page rather than waiting for a routine gum appointment.
For a concern mainly about breath, see our bad breath assessment. If you are simply due for preventive care, book a routine dental clean.
