Gum Disease

Supporting healthy gums with gentle, experienced and personalised care.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease occurs when plaque and bacteria irritate the gums, causing inflammation that can affect the tissues supporting your teeth.
Because early gum disease often has no pain, many people don’t realise changes are happening — which is why careful, experienced assessment matters.

At Maxicare Dental, we look for early signs of gum disease so we can treat gum concerns before they progress.
