Gum Disease Treatment

Protecting Your Oral Health and Smile

Gum disease, sometimes referred to as periodontal disease, is a prevalent ailment that impacts the quality of your gums and the tissues that support your teeth. Gum disease can harm your general health and result in tooth loss if left untreated. In order to protect your mouth and restore the health of your gums, North Hill Dental in Richmond Hill, Ontario, provides thorough gum disease treatment. Our individualized approach guarantees efficient service catered to your particular requirements.

What Is Gum Disease?

Plaque accumulation along the gum line causes gum disease, an infection of the gums. It develops in phases, beginning with gingivitis and perhaps progressing to periodontitis if left untreated. Gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss are possible outcomes of advanced phases, but early symptoms include redness, edema, and bleeding gums.
We at North Hill Dental are experts at identifying and treating gum disease at every stage to prevent further issues and encourage long-term dental health.

Types of Gum Disease Treatment

The degree of gum disease determines the course of treatment. From preventive care to cutting-edge therapies, we provide a variety of treatments to address each stage of the illness.

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

While root planing smoothes the tooth roots to aid in gum reattachment and healing, scaling eliminates plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line. Mild to severe gum disease can be effectively treated without surgery.

Antibiotic Therapy

Antibiotics can be prescribed or given directly to the gums to prevent infection and lower bacterial levels. This therapy is frequently applied in conjunction with root planing and scaling.

Laser Gum Therapy

Laser therapy targets germs and diseased tissue using cutting-edge technology without harming healthy gum tissue. It is a method of treating periodontal pockets that requires little invasiveness.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical procedures, including flap surgery, gum grafting, or bone grafting, may be necessary for severe gum disease. These procedures aid in restoring the gums and supporting tissues, which is beneficial for better dental health.

Who Is a Candidate for Gum Disease Treatment?

Gum disease treatment is essential for anyone showing signs of gum disease or at risk of developing it. Here are some common candidates:

Patients with Red, Swollen, or Bleeding Gums

It is important to pay attention to these early indicators of gum disease, as treatment can prevent the problem from getting worse.

Patients with Loose Teeth or Gum Pockets

Teeth may become loose due to pockets formed between the gums and teeth caused by advanced gum disease. Treatment stabilizes oral health by addressing these problems.

Individuals with Gum Recession or Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth roots may become exposed due to gum recession brought on by gum disease, increasing sensitivity and decay risk.

People with a Family History of Gum Disease

Genetic factors may make you more susceptible to gum disease. Prevention requires early treatment and routine examinations.

The Gum Disease Treatment Process

Our gum disease treatment process is tailored to your needs, ensuring effective and comfortable care:

To determine the extent of the issue and pinpoint areas of concern, we start with a thorough examination that includes X-rays and periodontal probing.

Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan that may involve laser therapy, scaling and root planing, or other procedures.

Depending on the severity of gum disease, treatment may need several visits to guarantee comprehensive care and long-lasting effects.

After treatment, we offer advice on how to keep gums healthy with frequent check-ups and good oral care.

FAQs

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums; bleeding during brushing or flossing; persistent bad breath; gum recession; loose teeth; and discomfort while chewing. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek dental care promptly.

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. However, advanced stages (periodontitis) require more extensive treatment to manage and prevent further damage.

Yes, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to tooth loss. The infection damages the gums and bone that support your teeth, causing them to loosen or fall out.

You can prevent gum disease by maintaining good oral hygiene, brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. A balanced diet and avoiding tobacco products also help reduce the risk.
