About Gum Disease Treatment
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease also known as periodontal disease or Periodontitis is a common and serious oral health condition that can affect an individual’s quality of life. This progressive gum infection attacks and destroys the gum’s soft tissue and the bone supporting the teeth. It can lead to a wide range of health complications if left untreated.
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and its impact goes beyond the oral cavity. If left untreated, it can increase risk of other serious health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can also contribute to chronic pain, difficulty chewing, and a diminished sense of self-confidence.
The good news is that early-stage gum disease is fully reversible with professional treatment and good oral care. Even advanced gum disease can be managed and stabilised so you keep your natural teeth. At Arrow Dental, we combine deep cleaning, laser therapy, and personalised aftercare to restore your gum health in the gentlest way possible.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Advanced soft-tissue laser treatment reduces bleeding and speeds up recovery from traditional deep cleaning.
Who it’s for

Bleeding when you brush or floss, red or slightly swollen gums, occasional bad breath.
Moderate Periodontitis

Persistent bad breath, receding gums, deeper pockets around teeth. Can be managed and stabilised.
Advanced Periodontitis

Loose teeth, painful chewing, visible gum recession. Requires immediate treatment to save teeth.
Why consider Periodontal Treatment
Why treating gum disease matters
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in Kenya. Timely treatment saves teeth, health, and money.
Saves your teeth
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss, but early treatment makes it preventable and helps preserve your teeth and natural smile.
Stops the disease progression
Early treatment halts gum disease before it spreads deeper, preventing irreversible damage to the supporting bone structure.
Ends bleeding and sensitivity
Professional periodontal care restores gum health, reducing bleeding and sensitivity so eating and brushing feel comfortable again.
Freshens breath
Treating periodontitis eliminates harmful bacteria, removing the source of persistent bad breath and restoring oral freshness.
Improves overall health
Since gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes, periodontal treatment supports better long-term whole-body health.
Prevents bone loss
Timely treatment protects the jawbone that anchors your teeth, maintaining strength and stability for lasting oral health.
Your Options
Treatment options for every stage
We match the treatment to the stage of gum disease. Early cases need only a deep cleaning; advanced cases may need surgical intervention.
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing): This non-surgical procedure is ideal for early-to-moderate gum disease, thoroughly removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line in just one or two visits.
- Laser Periodontal Therapy: Soft-tissue laser treatment for precise removal of infected tissue while reducing bleeding, speeding healing, and improving overall comfort.
- Antibiotic Therapy: Targeted antibiotics are placed directly into gum pockets, delivering medication exactly where it is needed to eliminate stubborn bacterial infection.
- Surgical Periodontal Treatment : Reserved for advanced cases, this specialist-led procedure restores gum and bone health when non-surgical methods are no longer sufficient.

Protecting smiles from gum disease
Gum disease affects adults across all ages, with the highest risk beginning around 35. It often progresses quietly, and many people only notice it once teeth start to loosen. Regular six‑monthly dental check‑ups remain the most effective way to detect problems early and reverse damage before it becomes severe.

Whether you’re seeking oral diagnosis, preventative care or treatment for gum disease, our periodontist in Nairobi is here to help.

Common questions
Gum Disease Treatment FAQs
What are the signs of gum disease?
The most common signs are bleeding when brushing, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, and gums that pull away from the teeth. If you notice any of these, visit Arrow Dental for an assessment.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the early-phase of gum disease can be fully reversed with professional cleaning and good oral care. More advanced stages of gum disease can be managed and stabilized, but not fully reversed.
How is gum disease treated?
Treatment usually involves a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing to remove bacteria below the gum line. More advanced cases may need additional procedures, which we discuss during your consultation.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetia when needed and is comfortable throughout. Some mild gum tenderness afterwards is normal and settles within a few days.
How much does gum disease treatment in kenya cost?
Cost of treatment depends on the severity and number of areas affected. The consultation includes a full assessment and clear quote.
Will I lose my teeth if I have gum disease?
If not caught and treated early, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Most patients keep all their teeth with proper care. Visit Arrow Dental as soon as you notice symptoms to give yourself the best outcome.
How can I prevent gum disease?
You should brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit Arrow Dental for routine cleanings every six months. Avoiding tobacco and managing conditions like diabetes also help significantly.
Is it necessary to see a periodontist for treatment?
While a general dentist can treat mild cases of gum disease, a periodontist specializes in diagnosing and treating more advanced stages of the condition. If you suspect you have gum disease, we recommend to consult with our periodontist at Arrow Dental for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
