- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Swollen or tender gums
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth

Our experienced dentists at Teeth at Tiong Bahru offer a range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs:
- Professional Cleaning: Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure removes bacteria and smoothens the root surfaces to promote gum healing.
- Medication: In some cases, antibiotics or antimicrobial mouth rinses may be prescribed to control infection.
- Surgery: Advanced cases of gum disease may require surgical intervention to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
