Gum Disease Treatment Melbourne

It is important to look after the health of your gums, as they are the supporting tissue for the teeth.

When plaque is allowed to build up and form tartar, it can lead to serious gum health concerns. Problematic conditions such as gum disease may eventually result in loss of teeth and other general health disorders.

Types of Gum Disease

Gingivitis

A mild form of periodontal disease, gingivitis causes gums to become red, swollen and bleed easily. There is usually little or no noticeable discomfort in its early stages. Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene. Other causes include diabetes, smoking, genetic predisposition, stress and poor nutrition.

Fortunately, gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and good oral hygiene care at home.

Periodontitis

Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis. Over time plaque spreads and grows below the gum line, toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. This stimulates an inflammatory reaction where the body essentially turns on itself. The tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed. Gums separate from the teeth, forming spaces between teeth that become infected. More gum tissue and bone could continue to degenerate until teeth become loose and require extraction.

Have been going to this dentist since 2017 and I've had multiple visits most of the years since and I'm always amazed at how good they are ... Currently Olga is doing my dental work and she is caring and professional. Cannot be faulted. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic. The best dentist I've ever been to.

I was so scared about going to the dentist and ashamed of the state of my teeth, I needed and chose to have All On 4 done. Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental, were very professional at all times, they made the experience a comfortable one with all of their support every step of the way. I even cried with joy after it was all done. I can now smile again without embarrassment. I already have and will again, highly recommend Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental.

I've been visiting this clinic for 2 years. Dr Michael Seng is a friendly and caring dentist. I have recommend my friends and they are very happy with Dr Seng too. I have moved my children to see Dr Evelyn Teo in this clinic as Dr Seng is not accepting new patients. Dr Evelyn Teo has a sense of humour and she makes us feel comfortable. Both dentists, Dr Seng and Dr Teo, will give constructive feedback to improve our oral hygiene and explain everything in detail. If I could, I really want to give 10 stars for both of them.

I highly recommend The Point Dental for anyone, but especially for people who have any stress or anxiety associated with the dentist. The front office team have been amazing, they are warm and friendly. I'd like to point out Natalie who has helped me from my first enquiry and has made be feel very welcome and comfortable. Dr Olga Kaini has been looking after me, she is friendly, highly professional, and has been very patient with me about my dental anxiety. She has done her best to make me feel comfortable and at-easy while in the chair and can't thank her enough. I have full confidence and trust that the team at The Point Dental have my best interest at heart. If you are looking for a dentist embodies professionalism, compassion and skill, then look no further. And if you think your dental anxiety gets too much, ask for the green whistle!
