Gum Disease Treatment in Perth
Periodontal Care in Perth
Gum disease treatment at Perth Dental Rooms addresses the problem of infected gums and helps prevent tooth loss.
It also stops inflammation spreading from your mouth via the bloodstream to other areas of the body, including vital organs.
During the early stages of gum disease, we can provide treatment with antibiotics and minimally invasive scaling and root planing. If the condition has become severe, surgery may be necessary.
WHAT IS GUM DISEASE?
Gum disease (known medically as periodontitis or periodontal disease) begins as gingivitis – inflammation of the gums as a result of accumulation of bacteria, plaque and tartar on and around teeth.
Periodontitis is a common cause of tooth loss among adults, especially older people. It’s a widespread problem in Australia, with nearly one-third of adults having moderate to severe gum disease.
Left untreated, gum disease can spread infection and inflammation to bone and other tissues that anchor the teeth. This can destroy these structures, resulting in teeth becoming so loose they need to be extracted.
