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

My experience at Smile HQ was the best!! Sasha and Charlotte were amazing from start to finish. They made me feel so comfortable and at ease, I would highly highly recommend going here! I had composite bonding and I am over the moon with my results. They really listen to what you are after and if anything exceeds all expectations. I’m very happy!
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!
Wow, what a great experience I have had a Smile HQ. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly, the clinic itself is spotless and it looks great. Pola was so lovely and I can’t believe how in a few hours he transformed my teeth. I am over the moon with the results. The man is an absolute genius at what he does and I couldn’t recommend him more, so professional and the best in the business. Thank you!
I had the best experience at Smile HQ. The customer service was excellent and everyone was very professional and friendly. Pola and Charlotte made me feel very comfortable during my treatment and my end results are amazing!
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.
This is a wonderful practice. I was seen at short notice because I was in pain and could not get an appointment with my regular dentist and it was well worth the one hour journey to get there. Dr Sasha, Nurse Stephie and Holly and Claire on reception could not have been more welcoming and kind. I had x Ray and antibiotics and everything was unhurried and explained in detail. Thank you all so much.
Receptionist Kiera is an absolute delight to talk to. So refreshing from your ordinary rude front of house receptionists, lovely attitude and very helpful.
Absolutely fantastic treatment from start to finish. My daughter was extremely anxious about having root canal treatment, but says she could barely feel anything. Rose (Endodontist) has a very professional and calming manner. The whole experience was the best experience my daughter has had at a dental practice. Belle (Nurse) was also so kind and caring, helping to completely put my daughter at ease. I can’t recommend Smile HQ and its staff enough. Also ladies on reception go above and beyond to Welcome you and put you at ease. Special mention to Hannah, for helping us get the quickest correct type of appointment, thoroughly answering all our questions. Seamless experience 😊
