Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease, is a leading cause of tooth loss in the UK. Our highly qualified dental team in Truro have years of experience in treating gum disease and will always strive to save your teeth before looking at alternative options.
While initially painless, untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss which can impact the functionality and look of your smile. Not only this, but the disease can silently damage bone and supporting tissues which further deteriorates your oral health. Gum disease has also been linked to broader health issues, so prevention is vital. Through professional gum disease treatment and regular plaque removal, you can help prevent tooth loss in the future.
Regular brushing alone cannot remove established tartar. Our gum disease treatment begins with thorough scaling and root planing to remove plaque, calculus, and bacterial toxins from deep periodontal pockets. We use ultrasonic scalers and specialised dental tools to ensure complete removal of disease-causing deposits to promote optimal oral health.
Our experienced hygienists in Truro prioritises tooth preservation while offering comprehensive treatment options for all stages of gum disease. If you’d like a free consultation about your gum disease and how to treat it, get in touch with Pure Dental today.

Having been so down, conscious and miserable about my teeth over the last 10 years I decided to visit Mark Durnall at Pure Dental. From the minute I entered the premises I felt at ease as all the girls on reception were so lovely! After my consultation with Mark it became apparent I needed to have quite extensive work of implants and crowns. I was absolutely terrified!! Having been to the practice several times now and most of the works have been done I can honestly say that I didn’t feel a thing! Mark is a figure of true professionalism and his team are a real credit to him! Always smiling! Meanwhile, I’m always smiling, he’s done such an amazing job I can’t stop staring at them! Can’t believe these teeth are mine! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team to anyone, he’s simply changed my life!
I did have a few concerns before treatment but these where addressed. I wanted my own teeth but much nicer, which I got! Mark was very informative and amazing attention to detail to my specific requirements. I would strongly recommend Mark.
I felt totally comfortable knowing if I had any worries I only needed to phone. 1st class.
Was expecting to lose the teeth but after nearly 10 years after it broke, I still have it and it looks as good as new.
I had no real concerns as Mark explained in full the whole procedure and process to me. He was friendly and very professional; I watched wildlife films, it was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend Mark to my friends and family and already have.

At Pure Dental Truro, we understand that many patients feel anxious about root canal treatment, but modern techniques and effective local anaesthetic make the procedure as comfortable as having a routine filling. With proper care, a tooth treated with root canal treatment can last a lifetime.

Put simply, gum disease. Periodontitis used to be called Pyorrhea. It is an inflammatory disease affecting the gum and the bone around a tooth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to loosening and loss of teeth. Periodontitis is caused by bacteria that stick to and grow on tooth surfaces. Your body reacts to these bacteria and causes an aggressive immune response speeding up the loss of bone around the teeth. It has also been linked to other health issues.
