Kingsford Dental provides comprehensive gum disease treatment to help patients regain optimal oral health. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition characterised by inflammation and infection of the gums.
If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious oral health issues. Our experienced team of dental professionals employs advanced techniques and technology to effectively diagnose and treat gum disease.
Gum disease treatment at Kingsford Dental begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of the condition.This typically involves measuring the depth of gum pockets, evaluating gum inflammation, and checking for any signs of bone loss.
Based on the diagnosis, a customised treatment plan is developed to address the specific needs of each patient. Treatment options may include professional deep cleaning, known as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. This process helps eliminate bacteria and promotes gum healing.
Our dedicated team will also provide education and guidance on proper oral hygiene practices and ongoing periodontal maintenance to ensure the long-term success of the treatment and prevent future gum disease issues.
The duration of gum disease treatment can vary depending on the severity of the condition and each patient’s individual healing response. Treatment may involve several stages, including detailed assessment, deep cleaning of the affected gum pockets, ongoing periodontal maintenance, and review of tissue healing and stability.
In many cases, initial improvement can be seen within a few weeks, while more advanced gum disease may require several months of active treatment and maintenance care.
At Kingsford Dental, we utilise advanced diode laser technology as part of our modern periodontal treatment approach. Diode laser therapy may be used to assist in disinfecting the gum pockets and reducing bacterial contamination around the affected gum tissues.
We also incorporate laser photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy to help stimulate healing, support tissue reattachment, reduce inflammation, and significantly minimise post-operative discomfort. Many patients experience a more comfortable recovery with reduced reliance on pain medication following treatment.
Gum disease is known to be a multifactorial oral disease. The factors that contribute to gum disease infection include but are not limited to stress, pathogenic bacteria infection, poor host immune response, poor plaque controls. In our dental practice, we have seen good gum healing responses from patients who had gum treatment, perform good plaque control with excellent oral care at home and maintain a regular 4- 6 monthly cleaning regime with us. In conclusion, a multifactorial disease needs to be treated with continuous care with a dental practitioner.
Ozonated water is increasingly being used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of gum disease due to its antibacterial and healing-supportive properties.
Gum disease is caused by harmful bacteria and inflammation affecting the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. Traditional periodontal treatment focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacterial biofilm through professional cleaning and ongoing maintenance. Ozonated water may help enhance this process by reducing bacterial load and supporting a healthier oral environment.
At Kingsford Dental, ozonated water may be used during selected periodontal and hygiene treatments to assist with:
* Reducing harmful bacteria within gum pockets
* Flushing and irrigating inflamed areas
* Supporting healing of irritated gum tissues
* Freshening the mouth and reducing odour-causing bacteria
* Enhancing overall periodontal maintenance
Some studies suggest ozone therapy may help reduce inflammation and improve patient comfort when used alongside conventional gum disease treatment. However, it should be viewed as a supportive adjunct rather than a replacement for professional periodontal care and good oral hygiene.
For patients interested in incorporating ozonated water into their home care routine, Mint Ozone™ ozonated tumblers are available for pre-order through Kingsford Dental or directly via their official website.
