Gum Treatment in Riyadh
Gum treatment underpins the health of the whole mouth, because sound teeth on diseased gums do not last. Many cases of tooth loss are caused by the gums rather than by decay.

Gum Treatment: frequently asked questions
Do receding gums grow back?
Recession does not reverse on its own. The aim is to halt its progress and protect what remains; some cases need surgery.
Why do my gums bleed?
Bleeding usually signals inflammation rather than brushing too hard, and needs examination.
Is gum disease linked to diabetes?
Yes, and the relationship runs both ways. Controlling diabetes improves the gums' response and vice versa.
Is deep cleaning painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic where needed, and discomfort afterwards is manageable and short-lived.
