Book a hygiene visit ↗Listen to your gums
Noticed a change?
Let’s take a look.
Bleeding, swelling or persistent bad breath are reasons to arrange a dental assessment.
Speak to the practice ↗Changes worth discussing
- Gums that bleed when brushing or cleaning between teeth
- Red, swollen or sore gums
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste
- Gums that appear to be receding
Very sore, swollen gums or loose teeth need an urgent dental appointment. Treatment depends on the assessment; more advanced gum disease may need further care or specialist referral.
