Understanding the Condition

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is a serious infection affecting the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Unlike simple gum inflammation, it damages the deeper structures that hold teeth in place. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss — but with the right professional care and daily home routine, it can be managed effectively.

Gingivitis

The earliest stage — gums become red, swollen and bleed easily. Fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care.

Periodontitis

Infection spreads below the gumline, destroying bone and tissue. Requires thorough professional treatment and ongoing management.

Advanced Periodontitis

Severe bone and tissue loss that can cause teeth to become loose. May require specialist referral alongside periodontal maintenance.

Know the Warning Signs

Signs & Symptoms to Look Out For

Periodontal disease can progress silently — many patients are unaware they have a problem until significant damage has already occurred. These are the most common warning signs.

Bleeding Gums

Gums that bleed when you brush or use interdental aids — even if painless, this is never normal and should always be investigated.

Receding Gums

Gums pulling away from the teeth, making teeth appear longer than usual — a sign that gum tissue and supporting bone may be deteriorating.

Persistent Bad Breath

Ongoing bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth that does not improve with brushing — often linked to bacteria accumulating in periodontal pockets.

Loose or Shifting Teeth

Teeth that feel loose, have moved position or gaps between teeth that are widening — indicating bone loss around the tooth roots.

Red or Swollen Gums

Gums that are consistently red, puffy or tender to the touch — healthy gums should be firm and pale pink in appearance.

Gum Sensitivity or Pain

Pain or discomfort when chewing, or sensitivity around the gum line — particularly if accompanied by other symptoms listed here.

Important: Periodontal disease is often painless in its early stages. If you recognise any of these signs — or have been told you have gum disease — early professional assessment and treatment significantly improves outcomes. Contact Reandon Smiles to arrange an appointment.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients find periodontal treatment manageable and less uncomfortable than they expected. Some sensitivity during or after treatment is normal, particularly when cleaning below the gumline. We work at your pace and will always discuss your comfort before and throughout treatment.
The number of appointments depends on the severity and extent of your condition. Milder cases may require one or two treatment visits, while more advanced periodontitis typically involves several appointments. Following active treatment, regular maintenance visits are recommended to keep your gum health stable.
Gingivitis — the earliest form of gum disease — is fully reversible with professional treatment and good home care. More advanced periodontitis cannot be fully reversed, but it can be effectively managed and stabilised with the right professional treatment and ongoing maintenance, helping to prevent further deterioration.
