- Floss or use interdental brushes every day

Gum Disease Treatment — frequently asked
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with professional treatment and good home care. Advanced periodontitis can be stabilised but not reversed.
Patients with a history of gum disease typically benefit from cleans every 3–4 months.
We use local anaesthetic to keep deep cleans comfortable. Most patients are surprised how easy it is.
Costs vary depending on individual needs. After your consultation we provide a written plan with upfront pricing and health fund estimates.
