Call Us NowGum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It is caused by plaque — a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. In its early stage (gingivitis), gums become red, swollen, and bleed easily. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the bone and fibres supporting the teeth are damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.
Common signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums that make teeth look longer, loose or shifting teeth, pain when chewing, and pus between teeth and gums. If you notice any of these signs, it is important to see a dentist promptly.
At Trust Dental, scaling and polishing starts from $85 and is CHAS subsidised. Deep cleaning (root planing) starts from $150 per quadrant. Gum surgery starts from $500 and is Medisave claimable.

Yes. Periodontal (gum) surgery is Medisave claimable at Trust Dental. This includes flap surgery and gum grafting. Routine treatments like scaling and polishing are not Medisave claimable but are eligible for CHAS subsidies. Our team will guide you through the claims process.
Gingivitis, the earliest stage, is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Once it progresses to periodontitis, the bone loss cannot be reversed, but the disease can be managed effectively with deep cleaning, regular maintenance, and in some cases surgery. Early detection is key.
Treatment depends on the stage and severity. Mild gingivitis is treated with professional scaling and polishing. Moderate periodontitis requires deep cleaning (root planing) to remove bacteria below the gumline. Advanced cases may need gum surgery to access deep pockets or gum grafting to restore receded gum tissue. All treatments are followed by a maintenance plan.
Treatment duration varies by severity. A routine scaling takes about 30-45 minutes in a single visit. Deep cleaning may be done over 2-4 visits, one quadrant at a time. Gum surgery requires a single procedure per area with 1-2 weeks of healing. Your dentist will provide a personalised timeline during your consultation.
Research has established links between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes, stroke, respiratory infections, and pregnancy complications. The bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and contribute to inflammation elsewhere in the body. Treating gum disease is important for both oral and overall health.
