Specialising gum disease dentists
Gum disease is not reversible past a certain stage.
Do you have:
- Bleeding gums when prodded, brushing or eating?
- Throbbing gums for no reason?
- Gums that have begun to recede or black triangles forming between teeth?
- Wobbly, loose teeth? Smelly breath or gums?
- Plaque and tartar build-up?
If you are experiencing any of the above, please contact us ASAP. It could save your oral health (aka teeth).

Please listen to our warning - you might not get another chance
We’ve seen enough cases of gum disease to understand the true reality. Once you progress through the gingivitis stage, there’s no going back – we can only alleviate your symptoms, prevent gum disease from spreading further and help you retain your teeth.
Gum disease will eventually cause your gums and jawbone to shrink, which might make you an unlikely candidate for advanced missing teeth procedures in the future, like dental implants.
