Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. It often begins with subtle signs like bleeding gums or bad breath, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss and even systemic health problems.
Even with excellent oral hygiene, anyone can be susceptible to gum disease. That’s why regular checkups and professional cleanings are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.
Our Comprehensive Periodontal Care Services
At Braeside Dental Centre, we offer a range of personalized treatments to address gum disease at every stage:
- Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing and prevent further bacterial buildup.
- Antibiotic Therapy: We may recommend localized or systemic antibiotics to combat infection and aid in the healing process.
- Laser Gum Therapy: We utilize advanced laser technology for minimally invasive gum treatment, reducing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
- Surgical Treatments: In advanced cases, surgical interventions like gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery may be necessary to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
