Periodontal Disease Treatment

Preventive Periodontal Care

Visiting a dentist goes beyond your regular check-up and clean; it’s also about addressing underlying issues and receiving personalised care for long-term oral health. 

One of the leading causes of periodontal disease is poor oral hygiene. If left untreated, this can result in inflammation, gum recession, and even tooth loss. By regularly visiting Sparkling White Dental, our team can help with early detection and treatment of periodontal issues to prevent further complications. This includes gum disease treatment, periodontal therapy, gum recession treatment, and scaling and root planing.

It’s time to safeguard your smile and enjoy a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums by prioritising oral health. Book an appointment with our experienced team today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Due to various reasons, gum bleeding can occur. One of the common causes includes inadequate oral hygiene, gum inflammation (gingivitis), or more advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It’s essential to seek dental advice to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
Signs of a gum infection may include redness, swelling, tenderness, and pus around the gums. You may also experience persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth. If you suspect a gum infection, seeing your dentist for evaluation and treatment without delay is important.
A tooth infection typically involves the innermost part of the tooth (pulp) and may result from untreated tooth decay or trauma. A gum infection affects the soft tissues surrounding the teeth and is often caused by bacterial plaque buildup along the gumline. Both conditions require prompt dental attention to prevent further complications.
Scaling and root planing is a thorough cleaning procedure to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gum line. This process entails meticulously removing plaque and tartar deposits from the tooth and root surfaces, then smoothing the root surfaces to encourage healing and deter future buildup.
After gum disease treatment, you may encounter some sensitivity or discomfort, but this should diminish shortly. Once any tenderness subsides, you should be able to return to your regular eating habits. Our dental team will provide post-treatment guidance to uphold good oral health and aid the healing process.
