Gum Treatment in Chatswood – Restore and Protect Your Gum Health
Gum treatment at SO Dental Chatswood addresses gum disease from early gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis. Our services include deep cleaning (scaling & root planing), gum health monitoring, and personalised homecare advice — all designed to stop infection, reduce pocket depths, and support tissue healing.
Why Choose So Dental for Gum Treatment in Chatswood
Healthy gums are the foundation of a lasting smile. Treating gum disease early protects teeth, decreases bleeding and sensitivity, and lowers the risk of systemic health consequences. We offer tailored plans, clear progress tracking, and compassionate care so you regain gum health with confidence.
Our Gentle, Modern Approach
We begin with a full periodontal assessment and digital charting. Treatments combine gentle mechanical cleaning with adjunctive therapies (antimicrobial rinses, possible laser use) and regular maintenance. Our team monitors healing and adjusts plans to deliver stable long-term results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes. Research has shown correlation of gum disease to conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and low birth weight. Treating it promptly supports your total wellbeing.
Is gum treatment painful?
Our treatments are gentle and can be performed under local anaesthetic if needed. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after scaling or deep cleaning.
What causes gum disease?
The main cause is bacterial plaque buildup and how your body responds to the bacteria. Some people have exaggerated responses which can lead to significant and accelerated gum problems even at an early age. Risk increases with smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, and poor oral hygiene habits.
Is gum disease reversible?
In early stages (gingivitis), it’s fully reversible with professional cleaning and better hygiene. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be controlled but not reversed — early detection is key.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, gum tenderness, or receding gums. If you notice these, book a check-up at SO Dental Chatswood as soon as possible.
