Supporting healthy gums in Nelson

Gum health

Healthy gums are essential for maintaining your natural teeth. Gum disease can develop gradually and may not always cause significant symptoms in its early stages. Regular dental examinations allow us to identify signs of gum problems and provide appropriate advice and treatment.

Signs of gum problems

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing

  • Red or swollen gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Gum recession

  • Sensitive teeth

  • Loose teeth

Prevention and treatment

Our approach focuses on prevention, early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment. We assess your gums during regular dental examinations and provide personalised advice on cleaning and maintaining your oral health.

Where more advanced periodontal treatment is required, we can discuss appropriate options and refer as necessary.
