Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. Gum disease is a common condition that is largely undiagnosed and overshadowed by other oral conditions, such as decay, because it is mostly a painless disease. Untreated gum disease can lead to:
Loose teeth
Gum recession
Sensitive teeth
Moving/shifting teeth
Bad breath (halitosis)
Staining
Tooth loss
Our dentists at Oak Tree Ballarat Dental will screen and diagnose various types of gum disease and discuss the appropriate treatment and preventative measures to ensure stability of your gum health.
