Gum disease therapy

Gum disease is one of the most common oral diseases and affects people of all ages. Caused by a build-up of plaque and bacteria on the gum line, gum disease can lead to bleeding, inflammation and redness and if left to progress, can lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease can also be aggravated by:

  • Smoking
  • Lack of brushing or flossing
  • If you have diabetes or other chronic diseases
  • Certain medications

If you spot signs of gum disease you can initially treat these at home by stepping up your hygiene routine and using dentist-approved products. If your symptoms do not improve, your Temple Square Dental dentist and dental hygienist will recommend a personal oral health plan to address your individual needs. Gum hygiene is important to ensure that your teeth remain supported and healthy.

Advanced gum disease

The first stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can be simple to reverse. However, if left to progress it can develop into a more advanced form of gum disease known as periodontitis, resulting in the formation of gaps between the gums and teeth, known as pockets. More plaque can collect in these pockets and thus continue the progression of the disease. As the pockets deepen, the plaque becomes more inaccessible to cleaning, more extensive and more toxic. This leads to increasing damage to the supporting bone around the roots of the teeth.

Periodontal treatment is provided by our specialist periodontist who will clean the pockets around teeth to prevent damage to surrounding bone. The majority of Periodontal treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the tooth root surface. However, advanced cases may it also involve surgical and restorative techniques.

After initial stabilisation of the condition has been achieved, a thorough lifelong home care regime is required to prevent future lapses, along with regular monitoring and maintenance from your dentist and dental hygienist.

If you are suffering with symptoms of gum disease book a review with our dental hygiene team today.

I hate admitting this, but I hadn’t been to the dentist for 16 years because of fear. It kept slipping further and further down my priority list.<br><br>From my very first visit, Sarah was amazing. She talked me through my initial consultation and scans, and when I told her how nervous I was, she immediately put me at ease. Then I met Dr Lakin, who was calm and reassuring from the very first moment. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or judged. At my follow-up appointment for a filling (which I was honestly petrified about because of my fear of needles) he was incredibly patient. He used numbing cream first, explained each step, and I genuinely didn’t feel a thing. I could have fallen asleep! I didn’t catch the name of the dental nurse, but she was also so calm and reassuring throughout.<br><br>A big thank you as well to Mariah the hygienist and all the lovely reception staff - every single person I’ve met has been warm, friendly, and supportive.<br><br>I honestly can’t recommend this practice enough. It’s the friendliest medical team I’ve ever come across and absolutely perfect for anyone who feels nervous or has avoided the dentist for years like I did.<br><br>100/10 ⭐

I can’t recommend Jackie highly enough. I’ve had really bad dental experiences in the past, especially with anaesthetic not working properly. Previously I was injected multiple times, could still feel pain while drilling, and was even questioned about whether it was “just pressure”. It got to the point where I had to be sedated for treatment at a huge cost, so understandably I was extremely anxious going into this appointment. From the moment I sat down, Jackie was calm, reassuring, and confident. She listened properly, took my concerns seriously, and explained everything clearly. She told me she’d never had an issue getting patients numb, even those who’ve had problems before. She was absolutely right. Just two injections, a short wait, and I felt nothing at all for the entire procedure. It was genuinely the best dental experience I’ve ever had, and I was honestly blown away by how smoothly it went. Jackie completely changed how I feel about dental treatment. Professional, kind, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. I’m so grateful I was treated by her.

I have been coming to Temple Square for over 30 years, since I was a child, and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I trust that the team have my best interests at heart and they always do a good job.

I recently became a patient in January and Jacqui is my dentist. When I first came in for a checkup I did mention I have ASD and ADHD. During my checkup everything was explained in a way I understood it and showed my x-ray. I needed five fillings, wisdom teeth removed and a mouth splint. The original treatment plan had my fillings split up and wisdom teeth to be pulled at a later date. I asked if I could get all my fillings in one go which Jacqui did mention the whole top of my mouth would be numb but I said it was fine. I saw the hygienist on Monday, Lucie, who is lovely. Introduced herself and explained the process and showed me how to clean between my teeth as I’ve not been shown before. Yesterday I had my fillings done. Throughout the process I was checked in on to make sure I was alright. I was allowed a bathroom break as it was going to be a two hour appointment. Any questions that I had were answered. I did mention my right wisdom tooth hurting and Jacqui mentioned I could get them pulled at the same time so I went with that option. The aftercare was explained very well and the pack I was given was written in simple steps. My last dentist I was shamed about my teeth as I needed one filling (back in 2019). Jacqui and Lucie had no judgements and instead focusing on keeping my teeth healthy. I couldn’t ask for a better dentist and dental practice. I felt listened to and not ashamed not knowing stuff about my teeth. Private is expensive and there is a payment plan offered but honestly for me it’s worth the cost as you cannot put a price on an excellent, friendly and professional dentist. I would 100% recommend this dentist, especially for anxious patients or those with neurodivergent conditions.

I have special needs (Autism and ADHD are the main ones). The hygienist was extremely friendly and explained everything she was doing. She checked in with me frequently to see if I was alright. She was very friendly during my appointment and didn’t shame me about my gums, instead gave me suggestions/ recommendations.
