Healthy Gums, Healthy Smile
Preserving Your Oral Health
The health of your gums is just as important as the health of your teeth. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Fortunately, Dental Lounge Eltham’s experienced periodontist – Dr. Iraj Almasi – provides comprehensive gum disease diagnosis and treatment.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is a common condition caused by a buildup of bacteria on your teeth and gums. This buildup can lead to inflammation and infection, eventually damaging the bone and tissue that support your teeth. Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums, bad breath, swollen gums, and loose teeth.
Advanced Periodontal Treatment
Our periodontal services are designed to address gum disease at all stages. We offer:
- Comprehensive gum examinations: We carefully assess the health of your gums and identify any signs of gum disease.
- Non-surgical treatment: For early-stage gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
- Surgical treatment: In advanced cases, we offer surgical procedures to restore gum health and prevent further tooth loss.
Preventing Gum Disease
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for preventing gum disease. With this in mind, we recommend brushing twice a day, flossing daily, using mouthwash, and scheduling regular dental check-ups.
