FAQs

Does gum treatment hurt?

While the term "gum treatment" can sound daunting, the reality is a modern, highly controlled, and entirely comfortable experience. At Stella Dental Suite, we believe that restoring your health should never be a source of stress - we take every precaution to ensure you feel nothing but a sense of relief as we restore your gum health.

How often will I need gum treatment?

The frequency depends on the severity of your gum disease, but most patients require maintenance appointments every 3 to 6 months.

Can gum disease be cured?

While early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed, more advanced gum disease (periodontitis) is a chronic condition that must be managed and controlled to prevent tooth loss.

Is gum disease linked to general health?

Yes - clinical research has shown that gum disease (periodontitis) is significantly linked to systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia.

What are the early signs of gum disease?

The most common early signs are bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and gums that appear red or swollen.

Will my gums grow back after treatment?

Generally, no - receded gum tissue does not grow back on its own once it has been lost, but treatment is essential to stop further recession.

Can gum disease cause tooth loss?

Yes. In fact, advanced gum disease (Periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults worldwide - even more so than tooth decay.

While we often think of teeth as being "fixed" into the jaw, they actually rely on a sophisticated support system of ligaments and bone. Gum disease is a direct attack on that foundation.

How can I prevent gum disease after treatment?

Regular hygiene visits and daily brushing and flossing are essential.

What Clients Are Saying

“The best, most warm, friendly and professional experience I have ever had at a dental practice, ever! I am usually pretty nervous and apprehensive going to the dentist but stepping into Stella Dental Nottingham just feels different. It's such a cosy atmosphere and Chloe, Dr Francesca Dash, and Lawrence are an absolute dream. They have made me feel so comfortable and validated as I begin my Invisalign journey with them. I actually look forward to visiting the dentist now!!”
