Gum Disease Treatment

Gum Disease Treatment Ballarat

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Raglan Dental in Ballarat, we provide both preventative and remedial gum treatment to keep your gums strong and healthy. Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues and, if left untreated, is the leading cause of tooth loss.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease occurs when bacteria build up along the gumline, causing inflammation and infection. Common signs include:

Red, swollen, or tender gums

Bleeding when brushing or flossing

Persistent bad breath

Receding gums

Gappy or wobbly teeth

Why Gum Health Matters

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth. Research has linked untreated gum infection to serious health concerns, including:

Increased risk of diabetes

Heart disease and stroke

Reproductive issues

Dementia and cognitive decline

This makes gum treatment and ongoing maintenance essential for your overall health and wellbeing.

Our Gum Treatment Options

At Raglan Dental, we offer a range of gum treatments to manage and prevent gum disease:

Gum Disease Therapy & Maintenance – Deep cleaning and regular maintenance appointments to remove bacteria and stop gum disease from progressing.

Crown Lengthening Surgery – Reshaping the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth. This is often used to improve aesthetics or create space for a restoration.

Personalised At-Home Care Plans – Guidance on the best brushing and flossing techniques to maintain gum health between visits.

Early Detection is Key

The earlier gum disease is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. Regular dental check-ups help us detect gum issues before they become severe, helping you avoid tooth loss and protect your long-term health.
