Gum Treatment in Manly (Periodontal Care)
Bleeding gums or loose teeth? Bad breath that won’t go away? You might need gum treatment in Manly. Gum (periodontal) disease is very common — and the good news is, it can be treated effectively when diagnosed early.
At our practice, we provide gentle, personalised gum care to help restore your oral health.
What is gum disease?
Gum disease starts with plaque buildup along the gumline. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation, infection, and even bone loss around the teeth.
There are two main stages:
- Gingivitis – early stage (red, swollen, bleeding gums)
- Periodontitis – more advanced (gum recession, loose teeth, bone loss)
Signs you may need gum treatment
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums/gingiva
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums (teeth look longer)
- Loose or shifting teeth
Our gum treatment options
Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Professional dental cleaning (scale and clean)
- Scaling and root planing (removing plaque/calculus below the gumline)
- Ongoing periodontal maintenance
- Personalised home care advice
Why gum health matters
- Helps prevent tooth loss
- Reduces inflammation and infection
- Supports overall health
