Gum Disease Treatment

Gum Disease Treatment Mount Waverley

If you notice blood on your toothbrush or floss, or your gums are inflamed and sore, you may be in the early stages of gum disease, known as gingivitis. Left untreated, this can progress to periodontitis, where gums shrink and pockets form between teeth and gums, allowing bacteria to cause further damage.

At Pinewood Dental Group, we offer professional scaling and root planing to thoroughly clean plaque and calculus from your teeth and roots. This deep cleaning helps eliminate bacteria and allows your gums to heal, preventing further progression of gum disease.

Why Choose Gum Disease Treatment?

Early intervention can stop gum disease before it leads to tooth loss. Our effective treatment restores gum health and helps maintain your overall oral wellbeing.

How Does It Work?

Our dentists will examine your gums and teeth, then perform scaling and root planing — a deep cleaning of the root surfaces to remove harmful plaque and tartar beneath the gum line.

What to expect
  • Thorough removal of plaque and calculus from teeth and roots
  • Smoother root surfaces to prevent bacteria buildup
  • Reduced gum inflammation and bleeding
  • Follow-up care and personalised oral hygiene advice
Who Is It Suitable For?

Gum disease treatment is suitable for anyone showing signs of gum inflammation, bleeding, or infection. Early treatment provides the best chance to save your teeth and restore gum health.
