Periodontal care focuses on the prevention, assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the gums and supporting tissues around the teeth. Healthy gums play an important role in maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health.

At Venn Dental, gum care may include treatment for gum disease, deep cleaning and root planing, along with ongoing maintenance based on your individual needs.

Benefits of Healthy Gums

Early attention to gum problems can help reduce inflammation, improve oral hygiene and support the long-term health of your teeth and gums.

The appropriate treatment depends on the condition of your gums, the amount of plaque or tartar present and the overall health of your teeth.

Periodontal Treatments at Venn Dental

Gum Disease Treatment

Treatment is planned according to the severity of gum inflammation or periodontal disease, with the aim of improving gum health and controlling progression.

Deep Cleaning / Root Planing

Deep cleaning helps remove plaque and hardened deposits from below the gum line and may be recommended when routine cleaning is not sufficient.

Gum Health Maintenance

Ongoing professional cleaning, oral hygiene guidance and regular dental reviews can help maintain healthier gums after treatment.

When Should You Have Your Gums Checked?

Possible signs:

  • Bleeding gums
  • Red or swollen gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gum tenderness
  • Receding gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Sensitivity around the gum line
  • Persistent plaque or tartar build-up

Small note:

These symptoms can have different causes, so a dental examination is needed for an accurate assessment.
