Gum Treatment
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, attacks the tissues that surround and support your teeth. If left untreated, this disease causes the gums to recede from the teeth. This is a major cause of tooth loss in adults.
warning signs of gum disease
- Gums that bleed easily
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums that have pulled away from the teeth
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
- Permanent teeth that are loose or drifting
- Any change in your bite
- Any change in the fit of partial dentures
If you notice any of these signs, we urge you to contact Dentist@ Oakville as soon as possible for getting the best gum treatment.
The dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth all the way down to the roots. Then, he will smooth your roots. This is done because tartar sticks more easily to rough surfaces.
If gum disease is not quickly treated, bacteria can cause damage to periodontal tissue as well as bone in the jaw. Advanced gum disease may require surgical intervention in order to avoid tooth loss. If surgery becomes necessary, we may complete care using laser technology. Laser gum surgery is very effective and far less invasive than standard techniques, leading to less bleeding and swelling, and hastening recovery.
