Langmore Dental is a dental practice in Berwick offering clinical assessments and treatment options for gum disease. Our AHPRA-registered dentists provide treatment plans based on your individual clinical situation.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It often begins as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and, if not treated early, can progress to periodontitis, which may affect the bone and tissues that support the teeth.
At Langmore Dental, our AHPRA-registered dentists provide clinical assessments and discuss management options for gum disease to support your oral health.
Why Might Gum Disease Be a Concern?
Gum disease can develop due to a range of factors, including:
- Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque and tartar buildup
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy, menopause)
- Medical conditions such as diabetes
- Family history of gum disease
- Medications that affect oral health
If you are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding gums, swelling, or discomfort, we encourage you to book an appointment at Langmore Dental. Early assessment may support more treatment options being available and help manage the condition before it progresses.
Treatment Options for Gum Disease
Treatment for gum disease depends on its severity and your individual clinical situation, and may include:
- Professional dental cleaning
- Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning)
- Personalised oral hygiene and lifestyle advice
- Advanced treatments or surgical procedures where clinically indicated
If you have an urgent dental concern, please contact Langmore Dental on (03) 9796 1881 and we will aim to see you as soon as possible. Our AHPRA-registered dentists will assess your situation and discuss the most appropriate management options.
Important Considerations
Every patient’s situation is different. During your consultation, our AHPRA-registered dentist will:
- Evaluate your oral health and the extent of any gum disease
- Explain suitable treatment options and their associated risks
- Provide guidance on ongoing care and preventive measures
Results vary between individuals. Regular dental check-ups are an important part of monitoring gum health over time and supporting your ongoing oral health. Suitability of any treatment can only be determined following an individual clinical assessment.
