Your gums are the foundation of your smile, let us help you keep them strong and healthy.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and tissues that support your teeth. It begins when plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—builds up along the gumline and isn’t removed through regular brushing and flossing.
In its early stage, known as gingivitis, the gums become inflamed, red, and may bleed easily. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the infection spreads deeper, damaging the bone and connective tissue that hold your teeth in place. Over time, this can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
Gum disease is often painless in the early stages, which is why regular dental check-ups are essential for catching it early and preventing long-term damage.
Signs & Symptoms
If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s time to see a dentist:
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Changes in your bite or dental alignment
These warning signs may seem mild at first but can quickly escalate without proper treatment. Gum disease often progresses silently, so even if you’re not in pain, routine check-ups are essential to catch it early and prevent further damage.
The Serious Risks of Gum Disease
-
It starts small but worsens quickly – Bleeding gums and bad breath can progress to gum recession, loose teeth, and tooth loss.
-
It affects more than your mouth – Linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and pregnancy complications.
-
It’s often painless at first – Many don’t realise they have it until serious damage occurs.
-
Prevention is simple – Checkups, cleanings, and daily care can stop it early.
-
Ignoring it is costly – Advanced cases may need complex treatments and hurt both health and finances.
Stages of Gum Disease
Preventing gum disease is simple
To help prevent periodontal (gum) disease, I always recommend focusing on the basics: brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily. It might seem simple, but these habits are incredibly effective at removing plaque and keeping your gums healthy.
It’s also a good idea to stay away from smoking and to limit alcohol, as both can increase your risk of gum problems.
And don’t underestimate the value of regular dental check-ups. Even if everything feels fine, your dentist can spot early signs of gum disease that you might miss. Catching it early means it’s easier to treat—and in many cases, even reversible.
Taking care of your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth. It all works together for a healthy mouth.

Meet your Dentist
Dr. Simin Soltani
DDS . MSC . SWEDEN
Principal Dentist and founder of Surbiton Smile Centre since 2002, brings over 31 years of global experience, trained at the Karolinska Institute (Stockholm), Eastman (London), and Münster, Germany.
Specialising in cosmetic dentistry and implantology, she holds a Master’s in Oral Medicine & Implantology and is skilled in bone grafting, sinus lifts, Dental veneers, dental crowns, and full-mouth rehabilitations.
A compassionate advocate of preventive and minimally invasive care, she’s known for delivering aesthetically mindful treatments that stand the test of time.
“I’ve been visiting the team at SSC for 9 months or so. My treatment included a front tooth implant plus upper and lower alignment. From start to finish the team were fantastic – especially good with appointment times, availability and patient communication. I’ve recently concluded my treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’d highly recommend to someone looking for first class cosmetic dental treatment. Thank you Simin, Theo, Claudia, Fernanda and Wendy.”
“Really happy with this practice – Dr Soltani is lovely and a very good dentist. Waiting times are close to none and the staff are professional and friendly. I did a teeth whitening treatment with the Enlighten method and worked amazingly.”
“She was brilliant. She explained exactly what she was doing. Reassured me thoroughly and I felt at ease. Considering it was Good Friday and in the evening, the price was very fair. If you are in need of a Dentist, then definitely call them.”
I had my Invisalign treatment here and am very pleased with the results. This was with the recommendation of Sure Smile aligners which have worked well. Special thanks to resident orthodontist Theo, Simin and the rest of the team as they are all very professional and friendly.
Dr Soltani and her team at Surbiton Smile Centre has given me exceptional service over the last 5 years. The whole team are highly experienced as well as very friendly. I have done an implant, a crown and braces – all treatments were of first-class. I will certainly continue to let them look after my dental health and strongly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for nearly 20 years, that is surely testament to their service, friendliness, advice and overall experience. Fine fine work Simin and Wendy!
Dr Simin Soltani and the Surbiton Smile Centre team have been world class. The professionalism, quality of treatment, and customer experience have been exemplary.
I needed quite a bit of dental work so went to a few different surgeries to get their opinions. I chose Surbiton Smile Centre because Dr Soltani actually gave me options – all of which would work to varying degrees and, significantly, to varying costs. She took the time to try the most cost-effective option, but always with the possibility of shifting course if needed. Eventually, to get my teeth decently functional, I needed quite a few crowns – including on front teeth. She allowed me time to get used to the adjustments as the process went on, and always made sure each stage was both comfortable and looked good. I am very pleased with the result, again both aesthetically and functionally. Would most heartily recommend!
I recommend my dentist, Simin with the highest regard. Over the years, she has transformed my problematic mouth to a smile of stable, healthy teeth.
Simin has restored an old implant for me and also inserted a new one. She has helped me with crowns and also replaced old black fillings with natural looking white ones. Simin has always been very professional, kind and helpful.
Thank you Simin!
