Before you book
Questions about gums and maintenance.
Practical details to help you choose your next step.
Is deep cleaning the same as my routine clean?
No. Active gum disease can need cleaning below the gum line and a separate treatment plan. A routine check-up and clean is a different appointment.
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.
