When should I have my gums checked?
Gum changes can be easy to overlook. An assessment can determine whether you need routine maintenance or more targeted periodontal care.
You may wish to discuss
- Your gums bleed during brushing or flossing
- You have persistent swelling, tenderness or redness
- Bad breath does not settle with regular home care
- Your gums are receding or teeth appear longer
- A tooth feels loose or your bite has changed
- You have been advised to attend periodontal maintenance
Routine cleaning or gum-disease care?
The appropriate care depends on gum measurements, inflammation, deposits, previous disease and individual risk.
- Routine scale and clean: removes plaque, hardened tartar and selected surface staining
- Gingivitis care: focuses on inflammation and improving daily plaque control
- Periodontal care: may involve gum measurements, targeted cleaning, staged treatment and closer maintenance

Common questions
Questions about gum care, scale & clean.
Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.
Is it normal for gums to bleed?
Regular bleeding is not considered healthy and may indicate inflammation or another concern. A gum assessment can identify likely causes and the most appropriate next step.
What is the difference between a routine clean and periodontal cleaning?
A routine clean removes plaque and tartar for patients whose gums are generally stable. Periodontal care is more targeted and may involve gum measurements, deeper cleaning, staged appointments and closer maintenance.
Is professional gum cleaning uncomfortable?
Comfort varies with inflammation, sensitivity and the depth of deposits. We explain what is recommended and can adapt the pace and comfort support to your needs.
How often will I need gum maintenance?
The interval depends on gum health, previous periodontal disease, home care, medical factors and individual risk. Your clinician will recommend a personalised schedule.
