Read on to find out more about gum disease and how our specialists can help treat your gums and improve more than just your oral health.
Your dentist may have referred you to see a Periodontist Toowoomba because they have determined that periodontal disease (gum disease) is present. Periodontal Disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is often referred to as the Silent Disease as there is often no pain or discomfort until the infection is severe.
Periodontal disease affects the support around the teeth including the jawbone and the gums. It is diagnosed by close examination of the teeth and gums or the presence of bone loss in your x-rays.
Periodontists are qualified dental professionals who specialise in the prevention, detection and treatment of patients with gum diseases, like periodontitis and gingivitis. They also specialise in gum grafting, deep gum cleaning, gum surgery and the placement of dental implants. Periodontists have undergone extensive postgraduate training and are qualified to provide a more complex level of care for patients with gum disease.
