Tooth Loss & Gum Disease Treatment in Stockholm – Expert Care at Gloss & Floss®

Q: Can gum disease be cured?

Yes — early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with professional cleaning and proper home care. Advanced periodontitis can be stabilized and treated to prevent further damage.

Q: Is gum disease treatment painful?

No. Gum disease treatment at Gloss & Floss Dental Care® is gentle, often performed under local anesthesia, and ensures minimal discomfort.

Q: How can I prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease?

Brush twice a day, floss daily, visit your dental hygienist regularly, and avoid smoking. Routine check-ups at Gloss & Floss® help detect early signs and prevent tooth loss.

Q: When should I see a dentist about bleeding gums?

If your gums bleed frequently while brushing or flossing, book an appointment. Continuous bleeding is a sign of inflammation that needs professional evaluation.

Q: What happens if gum disease is left untreated?

Untreated gum disease can cause bone loss, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss. It is also linked to systemic health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

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.
