Gums that bleed are telling you something

Most people who come in about their gums have been rinsing the sink out for months first. Nobody here is going to tell you off.

You stop watching the sink every morning. You keep your own teeth, and your breath stops being something you think about.

Everything Else About Gum Disease Treatment

What is gum disease, and what does it do?

Gum disease (periodontitis (advanced gum disease)) is a long-term infection caused by bacteria. It attacks the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place. It makes the gums sore and swollen. They bleed and start to shrink back. It also causes bad breath that will not go away. In the advanced stages you lose bone around the roots. Teeth then become loose and can be lost. About half of UK adults have it to some degree. It is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the UK. At Tower Dental Blackpool we diagnose it with full periodontal charting. Periodontal means the gum and bone around your teeth. Charting means measuring the gap around each tooth. We also do plaque scoring and check your bone levels on an X-ray. So you can see exactly where your gums stand before we talk about treatment.

Healthy gums are the foundation of every healthy smile.

What makes Tower Dental in Blackpool different?

Tower Dental Blackpool — Why We Are Different

All that postgraduate training is right here at our Blackpool practice. It helps every patient who comes to us. It is true whether you come for a routine examination or emergency treatment. The same goes for dental implants. And for composite bonding, which is tooth-coloured filling material shaped onto your teeth. We base our clinical decisions on strong evidence. We pick the materials carefully to suit each case. We give you the time your case needs. We do not cut it short to fit an NHS appointment schedule.

Patient-First Philosophy at Tower Dental Blackpool

Our philosophy is simple. We make every clinical decision in your best long-term interest. We do not pick the option that earns us the most per appointment. So we tell you honestly when you do not need treatment. We tell you when a cheaper option will give the same result as a dearer one. We tell you when your case is better handled elsewhere. We then refer you to the right specialist. We also tell you what results to expect in real life. That includes the limits of the treatment and the upkeep it will need. We do not oversell results.

This honesty matters to us. It is the base of the trust our patients place in us. The 5-star patient reviews on Google for Tower Dental say the same things again and again. They mention the team's honesty. They mention the lack of pressure. They mention how clearly we explain things, and the genuine care shown all the way through. Patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire keep coming back to us. They send their family and friends too. That is not down to marketing or special offers. It is because the care here is really patient-focused.

Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered. Have more? Call 01253 353759.

What are the signs of gum disease?

The most common signs are bleeding gums when you brush, red or swollen gums, bad breath that will not go away, receding gums and loose teeth. If you notice any of these, book an appointment. Early treatment is much simpler and works far better than treating advanced gum disease.

Can gum disease be cured?

Early gum disease (gingivitis) can be fully reversed. It takes a professional clean, plus better brushing and flossing at home. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) cannot be fully cured. But it can be kept under control. That means regular deep cleaning and ongoing gum care. This stops more bone loss and tooth loss.

How much does gum disease treatment cost?

What you need depends on how bad your gum disease is. A standard deep clean starts from £196. Our Periodontal Plan from £24.99/month covers extra hygiene care, deep perio cleans (perio is short for periodontal, the gum and bone around a tooth), gum health checks and 20% off cosmetic treatments. Call 01253 353759 for a full assessment.

How is gum disease treated at Tower Dental?

First we measure the gum pockets around each tooth. Then we take off the tartar above and below the gum line. We use ultrasonic and hand tools to do it. Cleaning the root this way is called root planing. Then we make you your own upkeep plan. Bad cases may need a referral to a gum specialist. Most people do well without surgery.

Is gum disease linked to other health problems?

Yes. Research links gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, stroke and problems in pregnancy. So treating it is not just about saving your teeth. It is about your health as a whole.

What is the Periodontal (gum) Plan at Tower Dental?

The Periodontal Plan costs from £24.99/month. It includes extra gum hygiene care, deep perio cleans and gum health checks. You also get 20% off cosmetic treatments, plus all the benefits of the Adult Plan. It is built for people who have gum disease now, or who have had it treated before. Call 01253 353759 to join.

Once the infection is under control, keeping it that way is mostly down to regular appointments with the dental hygienist.
