Beneath Every Healthy Smile Are Healthy Gums
If you want healthy teeth, you must look after your gums and jaw. Although gum health isn’t always discussed, it has its own specialist area of dentistry: periodontics.
If you’ve ever spotted small amounts of blood on your toothpaste or had inflammation in your gums, then you’ve possibly had gingivitis. Although this is an easily treatable condition, it’s important to seek our help. Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis—a much more problematic condition.
Like your teeth, the health of your gums is affected by bacteria in your mouth. At SmileHQ, a healthy smile isn’t just about caring for your teeth.

Prevention is always better than the cure. We’d rather check your gum health and treat any warning signs early. To ensure this happens, we recommend visiting us for regular dental checkups.
Often, through improved oral hygiene, we can address mild gum disease and prevent it from becoming worse. Where gingivitis has progressed, we may recommend techniques like root planing to improve your gum health.
Root planing is a deep clean for your gums. We’ll clean below the gum line and remove any plaque and tartar that’s built up around the root of your teeth.
Once you’ve had root planing, periodontal pockets will shrink, closing the gap between your teeth and gums while reducing the chances of bone loss.

The Symptoms of
Gum Disease
A few flecks of blood from brushing too hard may not seem like a big problem, and it’s easy to dismiss gum disease. But several problems may develop around your gum health. These include:
- Noticeably swollen, red gums
- Halitosis (bad breath)
- A bad taste in your mouth
- Receding gums
- Pockets appearing around your teeth
- Enlarged gums
- Loose teeth
- Jawbone deterioration
- Inflammation surrounding dental implants

By far one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had! I’ve been looking for a good dentist for a long time and always leave disappointed. The moment I walked into Smile HQ, I felt like I stepped into a Harley Street clinic – so clean and kind service. Dr Sasha took his time to explain and make sure I was very comfortable. The best dentist I’ve ever met who was actually so knowledgeable. Charlotte was brilliant and always had a smile on her face! 100% recommend this place!
With the sorry state of my teeth, being embarrassed and somewhat scared, the staff at Smile HQ have gone above and beyond themselves in making me always feel at ease. Talking me through all the different stages that they are doing. I really couldn’t ask for better people. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody. You will not go wrong choosing Smile HQ.
I have visited SmileHQ for a consultation only, so cannot comment on actual treatment received at this point. However, from my initial enquiry through to my consultation, I have been extremely impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of all of the staff I have so far encountered. There has been no pressure to proceed with treatment and the refundable deposit for the consultation should you decide not to go ahead is commendable and shows an element of the ethos at this practice. I feel very confident in their ability and expertise in this field to eventually make me smile again and would highly recommend anyone taking the first steps on their own personal journey with SmileHQ.
Unbelievable experience at Smile HQ. Pola & Claire were incredible, they were patient and listened to all of my needs and wants. I had my composite bonding done today and they are perfect. Highly recommend!
Couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment I’ve received at Smile HQ. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, excellent customer service! I couldn’t be happier with my new smile thanks to Dr Pola and his team! Felt so comfortable and at ease with pola. He was very professional and did an amazing job!
Hygiene appointment – both the hygienist and nurse were very friendly and informative, they made the appointment feel very easy and eased my nerves immediately. Very professional and not only do my teeth feel great after but I have some useful tips to help me maintain a great clean. Thank you again ladies, 10/10 highly recommend!! :)
The atmosphere was so peaceful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listened to my needs and considered my comfort every step of the way. I would definitely recommend. I felt so confident walking out after just one clean. Already have my next appointments booked in. Now going to the dentist isn’t so scary.
Two visits now; consultations and a hygienist appointment yesterday, always made to feel very comfortable in a professional environment… from an individual who has never been comfortable or wanting to visit the dentist, Smile HQ has completely changed my perspective and view of the experience! Looking forward to my next visit.
