⚠️ Bleeding Gums? Early Treatment Prevents Tooth Loss

Gum Health

Gum disease is the UK's leading cause of adult tooth loss — and it's painless until it isn't. Bleeding when brushing is the earliest warning. Our City of London team treats everything from early gingivitis to advanced periodontal disease and receding gums, gently and without judgement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about gum health and periodontal treatment.

Gum disease is mainly caused by plaque bacteria building up along and under the gumline. When plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar and causes inflammation. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, and genetics. Even those with good hygiene can develop gum disease.
