Gum (pyorrhoea) treatment
Pyorrhoea (gum disease) causes bleeding gums, bad breath and, if untreated, loose teeth. Deep cleaning below the gum line removes the infection, and regular care keeps it under control.

Gum (pyorrhoea) treatment: common questions
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding is usually an early sign of gum disease. It can be reversed with a professional clean and good brushing.
Can loose teeth be saved?
Often yes, if gum disease is treated early. Your dentist will check how firm the teeth are.
