Request AppointmentGum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a result of a bacterial infection in the gums. It affects many Canadians, and is even the leading cause of tooth loss in Canada. We will work with our patients who have gum disease to come up with a comprehensive gum therapy treatment plan.
Gum disease shows itself in many different ways. It can start off with no symptoms at all. Other symptoms can include the following:
The best way to find out if you have gum disease is to consult with a dental professional. Our dentist and dental hygienists will work with you to create a treatment plan best suited to your situation.
Your dental team will also help create an at-home plan for you to maintain your oral health when you are not at the office.
To prevent gum disease, you should attend regular visits to the hygienist and dentist, and be sure to maintain an at-home oral health care routine.
If you do require gum therapy, we will work with you to create a customized treatment plan, and provide ongoing support from our oral health team.
