Periodontal treatment at Brisbane Smile Boutique.
-
There are two main types of periodontal disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder form of the disease and can usually be treated and reversed with proper oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing. Periodontitis is a more severe form of the disease and requires more intensive treatment from a dental professional.
-
Symptoms of periodontal disease include red, swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and receding gums. Other risk factors for periodontal disease include smoking, hormonal changes, certain medications, and health conditions such as diabetes.
-
Periodontal disease treatment varies by severity. Mild cases need professional cleaning and improved daily care. Advanced cases may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotics, or surgery. Deep cleaning removes plaque/tartar and smooths roots. Antibiotics combat infection. Surgery removes damaged tissue or reshapes gums to protect teeth.

Preventing periodontal disease involves practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, quitting smoking, and scheduling regular dental cleanings and checkups. Early detection and treatment of periodontal disease can help prevent the condition from progressing and causing more serious oral health problems.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a condition that affects the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, which leads to inflammation of the gums. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other oral health problems.
