A comprehensive approach to dental care involves meticulous treatment of the gums and underlying jaw bone.

At Pulvirenti Casey Dentists we strongly recognize the association between jaw bone disease, tooth loss and generalized systemic illness. Research proves that advanced jaw bone disease (bleeding gums, loose teeth, bad breadth and pus oozing from the gums) is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease amongst other diseases.

Our hygienists provide a thorough risk assessment and appropriate treatment with a personalized home care program.

Treatments can include regular six monthly active maintenance appointments that involve professional cleaning of the teeth and a small portion of the gum to root debridements with the use of anaesthesia where the root is completely cleaned and devoid of any bacteria or tartar growing under the gum.

Dental Fluorides, antiseptic mouth rinses and remineralizing creams are regular prescribed for complete oral home care.
