Periodontal Disease

Periodontal Dentist in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

If you’re experiencing pain in your gums or jaw, noticeable swelling, or if your gums are pulling away from your teeth, you may be dealing with periodontal disease. At Central Brunswick Dental Centre, our periodontal care aims to prevent and treat gum disease, protecting your smile from further complications.

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, begins as gingivitis in its early stages. Left untreated, it can worsen, leading to severe symptoms like:

  • Swollen, red, or inflamed gums
  • Bleeding during brushing or flossing
  • Receding gums, which can cause teeth to appear longer
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or shifting teeth

Causes and Risk Factors of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease typically develops when bacteria build up in the mouth, leading to infection and inflammation of the gums. Contributing risk factors include:

  • Smoking
  • Family history of gum disease
  • Certain medications that impact oral health

Addressing these risk factors can significantly reduce the chance of gum disease, but early detection and treatment remain crucial.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Periodontal Disease

At Central Brunswick Dental Centre in Fortitude Valley, we provide a thorough diagnosis for periodontal disease. During your appointment, our dentist will examine your gums visually and may use X-rays to assess any potential bone loss around the teeth.

Treatment Options for Gum Disease

Treating periodontal disease involves both professional care and at-home oral hygiene practices:

  1. Improved Oral Hygiene – Daily brushing and flossing are essential to remove plaque and prevent bacteria buildup.
  2. Professional Teeth Cleaning – Regular professional cleanings help remove stubborn plaque and tartar, targeting the source of gum inflammation.
  3. Antibiotic Therapy – For severe cases, antibiotics may be recommended to help control infection and promote healing.

Our approach to periodontal care is tailored to your unique needs, providing you with the support and guidance needed to maintain healthy gums.
