Get Your Bleeding and Swollen Gums Under Control
Effective Treatment for Gum Disease
Bleeding or swollen gums are often the first signs of gingivitis or early-stage gum disease. At The Fine Tooth Company, we specialise in diagnosing and treating gum disease to prevent it from progressing into more serious dental problems. If you’re experiencing bleeding gums, swelling, or discomfort while brushing or flossing, it’s important to take action promptly to protect your oral health.
- Plaque buildup on teeth and gums.
- Poor oral hygiene habits, leading to bacterial growth.
- Tobacco use, which increases your risk of gum disease.
- Changes in hormone levels (e.g., during pregnancy or menopause).
- Medications that may cause dry mouth, leading to plaque buildup.
While gum disease can affect anyone, it’s especially important to address it early to prevent further complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the early signs of gum disease?
The earliest signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, swollen gums, red or irritated gums, and occasional bad breath. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
2. Can gum disease be reversed?
Yes, gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) can often be reversed with professional treatment, like scaling and root planing, along with improved home oral care. However, periodontitis (advanced gum disease) requires more intensive treatment.
3. How often should I visit the dentist for gum disease treatment?
We recommend seeing a dentist every 6 months for routine check-ups and professional cleanings. If you have gum disease, more frequent visits may be needed to monitor your progress.
4. Can gum disease cause tooth loss?
Yes, untreated gum disease can damage the bone and tissue that support your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. Early treatment is essential to prevent this.
5. Does gum disease cause pain?
Gingivitis typically doesn’t cause pain, but periodontitis can cause gum discomfort, tooth sensitivity, and pain, especially when chewing or brushing.
6. How can I prevent gum disease at home?
Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine—brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash—can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease. Regular dental check-ups are also essential for early detection and prevention.
