Gum Treatment London

Gum disease is a common cause of tooth loss in adults and frequently develops without obvious symptoms until it's advanced. Our dental team treats all stages of gum disease, from early gingivitis to more severe periodontitis.

Warning Signs of Gum Disease
  • Gums bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Red, puffy, or sore gums
  • Bad breath that won't go away
  • Gums pulling back (teeth look longer)
