Periodontal therapy refers to the ongoing treatment and management of gum disease, particularly once it has progressed beyond the early stage of gingivitis. At this point, the infection often spreads beneath the gumline, where regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. To address this, we use advanced techniques such as scaling and root planing. These deep cleaning procedures remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth roots and help the gums reattach more securely.
At Sunbury Dentist, we take a proactive and personalised approach to periodontal care. Our focus is on stopping the progression of the disease, reducing inflammation, and supporting healing. In some cases, we may recommend more frequent maintenance appointments to keep the condition stable over time.
