Periodontology at Schenkelaars Dentists
Do you suffer from bleeding gums, receding gums or sensitive teeth? At Schenkelaars Dentists you can visit us for periodontology, i.e. care for gum problems. We take the time, explain everything clearly and support you step by step towards healthier gums.
What is periodontology?
Periodontology is about the health of your gums and the supporting tissues around your teeth and molars. If your gums are not healthy, this can affect your entire mouth.
We look at the signs, explain what may be going on, and discuss what care may be needed.
What can we help you with?
When it comes to gum problems, it helps to know where you stand. That’s why we work with clear explanations and a calm approach.
You can visit us for, among other things:
- advice for bleeding, sensitive or irritated gums
- guidance for receding gums
- check-ups and support for gum complaints
- explanation and support to improve your oral hygiene
- referral within our practice if additional care is needed

Prevention and early detection
Gum problems often start small. For example, bleeding gums while brushing, a sensitive edge along your teeth, or a persistent unpleasant taste.
By paying attention to your gums early on, you can often prevent more serious issues. That’s why during check-ups we also look at your gums and overall oral health.

Frequently asked questions about periodontology
If your gums bleed regularly while brushing or cleaning between your teeth, it’s wise to have it checked. That way you’ll know what’s going on and what you can do about it.
With receding gums, a tooth can sometimes appear longer. There can be several causes. We are happy to take a look and explain what we see.
Minor irritation can sometimes improve with a good routine, but ongoing complaints deserve attention. If you’re unsure, it’s best to contact us or have it checked.
This depends on the person and the situation. We work calmly and explain what we are doing. Always let us know if something feels uncomfortable or sensitive. Gum treatment may cause some sensitivity, but the pain is usually mild and manageable.
Brushing well and cleaning between your teeth is important. During an appointment, we’ll give you practical tips that match your teeth and routine, so it’s easier to maintain at home.
Healthy gums are usually calm in colour and don’t bleed easily. During check-ups, we also pay attention to your gums. Do you have complaints or doubts? Feel free to contact us.
Yes. Oral hygiene and gum health are closely linked. If support from the dental hygienist is recommended, we will discuss it with you and explain why.
In many cases, an initial assessment is needed to understand what’s going on. Contact us and we’ll advise you on the best first step for your situation.
