Is gum disease treatment painful?
Our gum disease treatment in Northampton is designed to be as comfortable as possible. We use gentle techniques and local anaesthetic so most patients feel minimal discomfort, and many notice a real improvement in their gum health soon afterwards.
Is a “gum specialist” the same as a periodontist?

While gum disease can’t always be fully reversed, it can be successfully managed with professional treatment and good daily oral hygiene. We create a tailored plan to help you keep your gums healthy and stable in the long term.

It depends on the severity of your condition. Milder cases may need only a few hygiene sessions, while more advanced gum disease may require several visits for thorough treatment and monitoring. We’ll explain your plan clearly before we begin.
