What is Periodontal Care?

Periodontal care for our Melbourne patients focuses on the health of your gums and supporting structures. Gum disease, or periodontitis, is caused by bacteria around the gumline and can lead to bone and tooth loss if untreated. Gum disease prevention and knowing how to treat gum disease early are key to protecting your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of gum disease?
Common symptoms include: • Bleeding when brushing or flossing • Swollen, red, or tender gums • Persistent bad breath • Gum recession (teeth appearing longer) • Loose teeth or shifting bite Early diagnosis is key—regular check-ups allow us to catch issues before they progress.
Treatment duration varies. A basic scale and clean may take 20–30 minutes, while more advanced periodontal care may span multiple visits over several weeks. We’ll outline a realistic timeline during your consultation.
We prioritise your comfort. Most procedures are minimally invasive and may be performed under local anaesthetic. Post-treatment sensitivity is common but typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and gentle care.
Gingivitis—the early stage of gum disease—is often reversible with improved oral hygiene and professional cleaning. Periodontitis is not reversible but can be managed to prevent further damage with consistent, tailored periodontal treatment.
