What is gum disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but preventable oral health condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, where plaque bacteria build up along the gum line, causing inflammation, redness, and bleeding—especially during brushing or flossing. At this early stage, gum disease is reversible with good oral hygiene, professional cleaning, and regular dental hygienist visits. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into advanced periodontal disease, where the gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that trap bacteria. Over time, this can lead to infection, gum recession, persistent bad breath, and damage to the underlying bone. As bone loss worsens, teeth may become loose, shift position, or even fall out. Early diagnosis and treatment by a dental professional are essential to prevent long-term complications and maintain healthy gums and teeth.

I’ve been a patient here for many years and have complete trust in the team for their skills, range of services and attention to detail. I have moved a long way away from the surgery but have never considered changing dentists. Also a special mention to Molly on the reception desk. Molly is so friendly, attentive and always gives everyone a warm welcome. I have observed that she goes out of her way for everyone to make sure their needs and queries are met. In a wold where service is being more and more dehumanised, Molly does the exact opposite, and provides such a genuine, authentic human experience for everyone ..

I had a tooth extracted which went very well with Osa. What I would say is that I realised later in the day and days after that I had very limited aftercare advice given, I have relied on google to seek information. The extraction was £410 so I do think the least the practice could do, would be to give patients an aftercare leaflet on what to expect. The professional thing to do from a wealthy practice.

I’ve just finished a course of dental treatment with Kirrit Johal and really pleased with the results.
I’ve been with Claremont for over 20 years and have always found the front staff, nurses, and the dentists to be very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Love Claremont practice, the dentists and hygienists are all excellent. I broke my tooth just after Christmas and they were able to arrange an emergency appointment to fix it. The admin is well managed with regular appointment reminders. The best thing of all is that they take NHS appointments. 100% recommend.

Don’t normally do this sort of thing - let alone for a trip to the dentist - but wanted to sing the praises for my hygienist Lucia today. Great job - and without the usual discomfort. Won’t go as far as saying I look forward to my next visit - but I know it’ll be fine with this hygienist.

Very efficient treatment by Ayshath (Hygienist) followed by routine examination with Dr. Johal. Happy to escape so lightly!

I have been looked after well by the Claremont team, including extensive orthodontic treatment (through lock down!). They have always been swift to respond, profane friendly. My teeth are much better today than when I started. I wished I could take them with me when I move house to Suffolk. I can’t recommend them too highly

Thanks to Claremont Dental Practice and especially Lucia Pallladino who is providing me with such wonderful care. I have never had a better hygenist, I don't think one exists, and Lucia is not only really skilled in providing treatment - very accurate, gentle, effective, thorough and takes time to give me information on what she is doing - she is also so friendly and lovely as a person. I would thoroughly recommend Claremont and Lucia and to Lucia, thank you so much for being such a wonderful dentist and wonderful human being! joe

Have been going to this dental practice for many years and have had only 2 dentists in that time. I could not be happier. Recently have had some dental work to my front teeth and my smile is now amazing. The booking system, hygiene, ambience , knowledge and professionalism is ten out of ten.

I am so lucky to have been one of your patients for over 20 years! Today I had a troublesome tooth extracted by Dr Yuhong He. I was dreading it, but I needn't have worried. As always, Dr He put me at my ease with her soothing voice and kept checking to see I wasn't in any discomfort. Her expertise aside, she is warm, welcoming and friendly. Thank you, Dr He!

I have been going to this clinic since 2016 and I am very happy with their services. The receptionists are so lovely and always going above and beyond. The hygienists and dentists are always very professional and reassuring. I moved quite far away from the practice but as I am very happy with them I am not looking to go anywhere else. The practice is located in St Margaret’s which is very easy to access by public transport. I definitely recommend the practice!

I had a hygienist appointment at Claremont Dental Practise with Sabina and was extremely satisfied! She made me feel at ease from the beginning of the appointment and was clear and open with what would be the best dental plan for me moving forward. As my dental work needed a longer time and would extend my appointment time, Sabina volunteered to stay for an hour to complete my work in 1 sitting. I am highly impressed with her professionalism and patient centred behaviour!
Aside from this, my teeth look significantly better and this is in just1 sitting!
I would highly recommend Claremont Dental Practise St Margaret's for anyone looking for a comfortable, thorough and gratifying dental experience!

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is primarily caused by the build-up of plaque bacteria due to poor oral hygiene, such as inadequate brushing and flossing. However, several key risk factors can increase your likelihood of developing the condition, including smoking, which significantly impairs gum healing, and genetic predisposition, meaning it can run in families. Other contributing factors may include stress, certain medical conditions, and hormonal changes. If you notice symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, it is important to seek professional advice promptly. Our experienced dental team can assess your gum health and, if needed, refer you to our in-house specialist periodontist for advanced care. Treatment may include deep professional cleaning (non-surgical periodontal therapy) to remove bacteria from below the gum line, helping to reduce pocket depth, support gum reattachment, and minimise the risk of bone loss. Early intervention is key to protecting your oral health—contact our London dental practice today to book a consultation and take the first step towards healthier gums.
