Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults in the UK — yet in its early stages it is largely reversible with professional treatment and improved home care. At Envy Smile near Harlesden, Dr Hemani Gill provides gum disease treatment for patients at all stages, from early gingivitis through to more advanced periodontitis.
Gum Disease Treatment at Envy Smile
"I went there for my dental emergency and the lovely lady at reception kindly let me in for a check-up. They did a quick X-ray followed by cleaning which actually worked. The doctor was understanding and explained the cause and advised me correctly. Definitely recommended."Patient Review ★★★★★
Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue caused by plaque — the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. When plaque is not removed by brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar (calculus) which can only be removed professionally. The bacteria in plaque and tartar cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and, if untreated, progressive destruction of the bone supporting the teeth (periodontitis).
At Envy Smile, gum disease treatment near Harlesden begins with a thorough assessment of your gum health — measuring pocket depths and assessing bone support from X-rays. Treatment is then tailored to the stage of disease and may include professional hygiene (scale and polish from £85), AirFlow treatment (£120), deep cleaning of root surfaces (periodontal treatment, £350 per session) and antibiotic therapy (£100) where indicated.
