What is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment involves diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum diseases that affect the gums and the bones supporting the teeth. The most common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is characterised by red, swollen, and bleeding gums, while periodontitis is a more advanced stage that can lead to tooth loss if not treated properly.
Shifnal Dental Care is dedicated to the health and beauty of your smile. We specialise in periodontal treatment, offering comprehensive services that combat gum disease. Our qualified specialists provide top-level care, utilising the latest technologies and treatment methods to restore the health of your mouth.
Our Periodontal Treatment Services
At Shifnal Dental Care, we offer a wide range of periodontal services tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Our approach includes:

Professional Teeth Cleaning
Regular teeth cleaning by a dental hygienist helps remove plaque and tartar, which are the main causes of gum disease. We recommend professional cleaning at least twice a year.

Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that removes bacteria and tartar from below the gum line. This procedure is often the first step in treating more advanced cases of gum disease.

Medications and Antibacterial Therapies
In some cases, we use antibacterial medications to combat infections. These can be gels applied directly to the gums or oral antibiotics.

Periodontal Surgery
For more advanced cases where other methods are insufficient, periodontal surgery may be necessary. This includes various techniques such as gum grafting, bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafts.
Symptoms of Gum Disease – When to See a Specialist
Gum diseases often develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular dental visits crucial. Here are some symptoms to watch for:
- Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or painful gums
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Shifnal Dental Care immediately to schedule a consultation.
