Our dental clinic offers comprehensive care according to your specific condition. Our experienced dentists assess your gum health and recommend the most effective options.
We begin every gum disease treatment strong> with a detailed examination of your gums, teeth, and supporting bone structure. Our dental team uses digital X-rays and periodontal probing to assess disease severity and develop a personalised treatment plan for long-term oral health
Also known as deep cleaning, scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment that removes plaque and tartar below the gum line. Our dental practitioners clean the tooth roots to help the gums heal, reattach properly, and prevent further bone loss.
We may recommend antibacterial rinses or localised antibiotics to eliminate infection and support healing. These treatments work alongside scaling and root planing to reduce harmful bacteria, improve gum health, and promote stronger teeth and healthier gums over time.
Gum disease affects 3 in 10 Australian adults, yet many people ignore the early warning signs. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and serious health complications.
Recognising the early signs of gum disease helps you seek treatment before the condition progresses. Contact our dental clinic if you experience any of these symptoms.
Gums that are swollen or bleeding during brushing or flossing are often the first warning sign. Healthy gums should not bleed with normal oral hygiene. If you notice swollen or bleeding gums, book an appointment promptly.
Inflammation is a key indicator of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Healthy gums appear pink and firm, not red or puffy.
Chronic bad breath that does not improve with brushing may indicate infection or bacterial buildup. This can also contribute to tooth decay if left untreated.
If your teeth appear longer or you notice gums pulling away from your teeth, you may have receding gums caused by periodontal disease. This exposes tooth roots and increases sensitivity.
Advanced gum disease damages the bone supporting your teeth, causing loose teeth or teeth that shift position. Loose teeth are a serious sign requiring immediate attention.
Discomfort or pain while eating may indicate gum disease affecting the supporting structures of your teeth and gums.
If your teeth fit together differently when you bite, this could signal bone loss from periodontal disease.
At Hayat Dental, we understand how gum disease affects your oral health and overall well-being. Our dental team provides compassionate, effective care to help you achieve a healthy mouth.
Our dental practitioners have extensive experience diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease, from early gingivitis to advanced gum disease called periodontitis. We stay updated with the latest techniques to deliver optimal results.
We prioritise patient care and comfort. Our dental team uses gentle techniques and can provide local anaesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience, even for anxious patients with sensitive teeth and gums.
Beyond treating existing problems, we help you prevent gum disease from returning. We provide guidance on proper brushing technique, recommend fluoride toothpaste, and schedule regular maintenance visits.
We provide clear, upfront pricing. Our dental clinic accepts all major health funds and offers flexible payment plans to make care accessible.
Understanding the gum disease treatment process helps you feel confident about your dental care, and knowing when to seek help from an emergency dentist is equally important. Here is what to expect:
Your appointment begins with a thorough examination of your gums and teeth. Our experienced dentists measure gum pocket depths, check for bleeding gums, assess gum tissue health and review X-rays to determine the stage of gum disease.
Based on your assessment, our dental team explains your diagnosis and recommends appropriate periodontal treatment options. We discuss what to expect, estimated costs and answer all your questions.
For most gum disease cases, we perform scaling and root planing to remove plaque, tartar and bacteria from below the gum line. This dental treatment is typically done in sections and may require local anaesthetic for your comfort.
After treatment, your gum tissue needs time to heal and reattach to your teeth. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your gum health, assess healing and perform additional treatment if needed.
Long-term gum health requires ongoing care. We provide personalised oral hygiene instructions and recommend regular dental visits to prevent gum disease from returning. Good oral health habits at home are essential.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection affecting the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It develops when plaque and tartar buildup irritate and inflames your gums, potentially leading to bone loss and loose teeth.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage. It causes red, swollen or bleeding gums during brushing. At this stage, the condition is reversible with professional care and improved oral hygiene. Our dental team can treat gingivitis before it progresses and help you maintain a healthy mouth.
If gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to gum disease called periodontitis. This more serious form causes gums to pull away from teeth, forming pockets that harbour bacteria. Without care, periodontitis causes bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.

Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup on teeth and along the gum line. When plaque is not removed through regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing, it hardens into tartar and causes infection. Risk factors, including smoking, diabetes, medications and genetics, can increase your likelihood of developing periodontal disease.
Modern care is generally comfortable. We use local anaesthetic during scaling and root planing to ensure you feel no pain. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after deep cleaning, which typically resolves within a few days. Our dental team prioritises patient care and comfort.
Gingivitis, the early stage, can be reversed with professional care and good oral hygiene using fluoride toothpaste. Advanced gum disease called periodontitis cannot be completely cured, but can be effectively managed with ongoing care. Early intervention gives the best outcomes to prevent gum disease progression.
Untreated gum disease leads to bone loss, receding gums, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss. It can also contribute to tooth decay and has been linked to other health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Seeking early care helps you maintain a healthy mouth.
Common signs include swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and pain when chewing. If you notice any of these symptoms affecting your teeth and gums, contact our dental clinic for an assessment.
To prevent gum disease, brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, visit our dental clinic regularly, quit smoking, and maintain a healthy diet. Addressing risk factors early helps you maintain a healthy mouth and avoid bone loss.
Most health funds provide coverage for periodontal care, including scaling and root planing. Coverage varies depending on your level of cover. We accept all major health funds and can help you understand your benefits. We also offer flexible payment plans.
Yes, research shows links between periodontal disease and other health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and respiratory problems. Treating gum disease and maintaining a healthy mouth supports your overall health and well-being.
