Periodontal Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal (Gum) Disease Treatment
Gum health is just as important as your teeth when it comes to a healthy mouth. At Lithgow Dental and Implant Centre, we provide comprehensive periodontal disease treatment to help prevent, manage, and reverse the effects of gum disease — one of the most common but often overlooked oral health issues.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and surrounding tissues caused by plaque and bacteria build-up. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.
Gum disease often develops silently, without pain — which is why regular dental check-ups are so important.
