Professional cleaning and gum care
Gum Care & Professional Dental Cleaning in Panania
Keep your teeth and gums healthy with professional cleaning, personalised home-care advice and ongoing gum monitoring.
Treatment overview
Why regular gum care matters
Plaque can harden into calculus that cannot be removed with normal brushing. Professional cleaning helps remove these deposits, while gum assessment identifies bleeding, inflammation or deeper periodontal concerns.
Remove deposits
Scaling removes plaque and calculus from accessible tooth surfaces.
Monitor gum health
Measurements and clinical signs help track inflammation or periodontal changes.
Improve home care
Advice is tailored to the areas that are difficult for you to clean.

Gum care questions
Gum maintenance FAQs
Helpful answers before you contact our Panania team.
What is the difference between a routine clean and gum maintenance?
A routine clean removes plaque and calculus for generally healthy gums. Gum maintenance is tailored to people with gum disease and may involve deeper cleaning and more frequent monitoring.
What are common signs of gum disease?
Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, swelling, gum recession, loose teeth or changes in the way teeth meet can be warning signs. Gum disease can also progress with few obvious symptoms.
How often will I need gum maintenance?
The interval depends on the severity and stability of your gum condition, home care and risk factors. We will review your response and recommend a personalised maintenance schedule.
