Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums and receding gum lines. In advanced stages, teeth may feel loose. If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend booking an assessment at our Strassen clinic promptly.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is fully reversible with professional treatment and improved home care. More advanced periodontitis can be effectively managed to halt progression and maintain stability, though lost bone cannot be fully regenerated in most cases.
Is deep cleaning uncomfortable?
We use local anaesthesia to ensure deep cleaning is comfortable. You may experience some mild sensitivity afterwards, which typically resolves within a few days. Our team at LetzSmile Dental provides thorough aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
