Periodontics at Revive Face and Smile
Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film that primarily consists of bacteria. If plaque isn't removed efficiently, it can lead to gingivitis, a reversible form of gum disease, or progress to periodontitis, which is irreversible.
To maintain healthy gums, regular dental hygiene visits, brushing and interdental cleaning are essential. Since gum disease often develops
without noticeable symptoms, it can go undetected until it reaches more advanced stages, which is why regular dental appointments with your dentist and hygienist are crucial.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease:
- Bleeding gums
- Spitting out blood after brushing or interdental cleaning
- Swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum pain or discomfort
- Unpleasant taste in the mouth

Risk Factors for Gum Disease:
- Poor oral hygiene

- Hormonal changes such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause
- Chronic conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, heart disease
At Revive, we offer comprehensive treatments for gum disease. During your first visit, your hygienist will assess y
our needs and create a personalised treatment plan to help restore and maintain your gum health.
