Gum treatment in Carabanchel
If your gums bleed when you brush, that is not normal, however long it has been happening.
Bleeding gums: what it means
Bleeding when brushing is the first warning and the most ignored. It means there is inflammation, and sustained inflammation ends up destroying the bone that holds the teeth. Plenty of people live with it for years thinking they brush too hard.
Gingivitis or periodontitis
They are not the same thing. Gingivitis affects only the gum and reverses with professional hygiene and good technique at home. Periodontitis has already destroyed bone, does not reverse, and needs specific treatment plus lifelong maintenance.
What can be recovered
Lost bone does not come back, except in particular cases with regenerative techniques. What can be achieved is stopping the loss and keeping the teeth for many years. The earlier it starts, the more there is left to keep.
Periodontal treatment always comes before any implant or rehabilitation.
-
Stops bone loss
The aim is to halt progression before teeth are lost.
-
Measured diagnosis
Six-point probing per tooth and radiographic control, not a visual estimate.
-
Tailored maintenance
Check-up intervals are set by your actual risk, not a standard calendar.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 My gums bleed when I brush — is that normal?
No. Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding is the first sign of inflammation and, at that stage, treatment is straightforward and the damage reversible.
02 Can periodontitis be cured?
It can be controlled, not cured in the sense of regrowing lost bone. The aim of treatment is to halt progression and stabilise the situation. That is why early diagnosis changes the prognosis so much.
03 Does scaling and root planing hurt?
It is carried out under local anaesthetic, quadrant by quadrant. There may be cold sensitivity in the days afterwards, which settles.
04 Can I have implants if I have had periodontitis?
Yes, but the disease has to be stabilised first. Placing implants alongside active periodontitis greatly increases the risk of peri-implantitis and implant failure.
05 How often do I need maintenance appointments?
It depends on your individual risk: for some patients every three months, for others every six. The interval is set after the treatment phase and reviewed over time.
