Start with the foundations.

General education to support—not replace—a conversation with your dental team.

01

Gum health

Healthy gums form the foundation of a healthy mouth. Bleeding, swelling, tenderness or persistent bad breath are reasons to speak with a dental professional.

02

Gum recession

Recession is when the gum margin moves and more of the tooth or root becomes visible. Causes vary, so an assessment matters before choosing a management approach.

03

Periodontal health

Periodontal care may involve assessment, professional cleaning or treatment, home care and regular maintenance. Your plan should reflect your individual needs.

04

After dental treatment

Follow the written instructions from your treating team. Contact them promptly if pain, swelling, bleeding or another concern is unexpected or worsening.

05

Oral-health maintenance

Daily plaque control, appropriate products, regular reviews and attention to risk factors can all contribute to maintaining oral health over time.

06

Your care pathway

Some patients may be offered a clinician-authorised support pathway. Suitability, instructions and follow-up remain individual clinical decisions.

When to contact your clinic

Your treating team knows your care.

If you have pain, swelling, bleeding, fever, a reaction, or any urgent concern following treatment, contact your treating clinic. For a medical emergency, call Triple Zero (000).
