Gum Disease Treatment In Campbelltown
Look after your gums, and your smile will thank you
Do You Have Gum Disease?
We offer non-surgical and surgical gum disease treatments
Dental Clean
Often a professional dental clean is the only gum disease treatment Campbelltown dentists suggest.
Pocket Reduction
A surgical procedure that combats periodontal disease in Campbelltown. The gums are pulled back to remove tartar and replaced tightly around the teeth, eliminating bacteria- collecting pocket between the tooth and gum.
Soft Tissue Grafts
Our specialist periodontist utilises the latest stem cell technology, to rebuild soft tissue and reinforce receding gums.
Scaling and Root Planing
Plaque and tartar are scraped away from the teeth and below the gum line, and the teeth roots are planed to remove rough spots.
Bone Grafts
This involves using the patient’s own bone to replace bone destroyed by chronic periodontal disease. Advanced stem cell technology speeds up the process by encouraging the body to regenerate bone and tissue.
Bone Surgery
Performed chairside by our skilled dentists following flap surgery, the bone is reshaped around the tooth to reduce craters, making it harder for bacteria to collect.
Why Does Gum Disease Occur
The main cause of the periodontal disease is plaque. Failure to remove plaque from the teeth and gums with effective brushing and flossing causes irritation to the gums, which results in sore, swollen and bleeding gums, or gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. Without gum disease treatment, Campbelltown patients will find the condition worsens to a more severe form of gum disease – periodontitis – that can cause tooth loss and bone. Fortunately, early intervention can reverse gingivitis and restore good oral health.
What to Expect After Gum Disease Treatment
It’s crucial to remember that gum disease can return, so it’s vital to maintain good oral health following treatment.
To maintain healthy gums, you should follow the two steps below:
- Visit your dentist or hygienist two or three times a year for plaque removal
- Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly twice daily. Our dentist can show you the correct brushing and flossing techniques.
