Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile, and at Islington Green Dental Practice, we provide expert care to address and manage conditions affecting your gums, bone, and supporting tissues. Our specialist periodontist, Dr. Anastasiya Orishko, offers tailored treatments to combat gum disease and restore your oral health.
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease and other conditions affecting the tissues that support your teeth. Gum disease typically begins as gingivitis, a mild inflammation of the gums, which can progress to periodontitis if left untreated.
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that can lead to the separation of gums from teeth, damage to the jawbone, and, ultimately, tooth loss. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage and preserving your smile.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, we recommend contacting our practice for an assessment as soon as possible:
Addressing these signs early can prevent the progression of gum disease and save your teeth.

If you are experiencing symptoms or have concerns about your gum health, don’t wait—schedule an appointment today to protect your smile.
Gum disease is caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth and along the gumline, leading to inflammation and infection. Factors like poor oral hygiene, smoking, and genetics can increase your risk.
Periodontal treatments, such as scaling and root planing, are performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Post-treatment discomfort is typically minimal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
aintaining good oral hygiene, visiting your dentist regularly, and following any specific recommendations from your periodontist can help prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
