Tooth Loss & Gum Disease Treatment in Stockholm – Expert Care at Gloss & Floss®
At Gloss & Floss Dental Care® in Södermalm, Stockholm, we specialize in the prevention and treatment of gum disease – one of the most common causes of tooth loss among adults. Healthy gums are the foundation for strong teeth, and our team combines modern techniques, gentle care, and personalized plans to help you protect and restore your smile.
What Causes Tooth Loss and Gum Disease?
Tooth loss often begins with gum inflammation (gingivitis) caused by bacterial plaque that accumulates on the teeth. If left untreated, the inflammation can progress to periodontitis – a deep infection that affects the bone and supporting tissues around the teeth. Over time, this leads to loose teeth and, eventually, tooth loss.
Other contributing factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, stress, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. Early detection and professional dental hygiene are key to preventing long-term damage.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Bad breath or a metallic taste in the mouth
- Swollen, tender, or receding gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in how your teeth fit together when you bite
If you experience any of these signs, book an appointment promptly. The earlier gum disease is detected, the easier it is to treat and reverse.
Professional Gum Disease Treatment at Gloss & Floss
Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of treatments to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss. After a careful examination and digital imaging, your dentist or hygienist will create a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your condition, the plan may include:
- Deep cleaning and scaling: Removes plaque and tartar below the gum line using advanced ultrasonic tools.
- Antibacterial treatment: Reduces infection and helps the gums heal faster.
- Laser or surgical therapy: In more advanced cases, we use minimally invasive surgical techniques to clean infected areas and support tissue regeneration.
- Home care guidance: Our dental hygienists provide detailed advice on brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning tailored to your needs.
For patients who have already lost teeth, we also provide dental implants and crowns and bridges as permanent solutions for restoring both function and aesthetics.
Preventive Measures and Long-Term Care
Prevention is always better than cure. Regular visits to your dental hygienist and annual check-ups help detect early signs of gum disease before it causes irreversible damage. At Gloss & Floss, we emphasize gentle, preventive care that keeps your gums healthy and your smile beautiful.
If you have a history of gum problems or risk factors such as smoking or diabetes, we recommend more frequent visits and personalized care programs. Our team is always here to guide you through every step of maintaining lifelong oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can gum disease be cured?
Yes — when detected early, gingivitis can be completely reversed with professional cleaning and proper oral hygiene. In more advanced cases (periodontitis), treatment can stop the disease’s progression and help regenerate healthy tissue.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
No. Modern periodontal treatments at Gloss & Floss are gentle and can be performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report only mild discomfort that subsides within a few hours.
How can I prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease?
Brush twice daily, floss once a day, visit your dental hygienist regularly, and avoid smoking. Regular check-ups at Gloss & Floss help detect problems early and keep your gums healthy.
When should I see a dentist about bleeding gums?
If your gums bleed for more than a few days when brushing or flossing, schedule an appointment. Persistent bleeding is one of the first signs of gum disease.
What happens if gum disease is left untreated?
Untreated gum disease can lead to bone loss, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss. It’s also linked to other health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
