At Smile Story Dental Centre, we understand the critical importance of gum health to your overall well-being and the beauty of your smile. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that can range from simple gum inflammation to severe damage to the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is here to provide effective gum disease treatment, utilizing the latest in dental technology and techniques to restore and maintain your oral health.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. In advanced stages, gum disease can lead to sore, bleeding gums; painful chewing problems; and even tooth loss.

Ideal Candidates for Gum Disease Treatment

Treatment is crucial for anyone showing signs of gum disease, which can include:

• Gums that bleed easily during and after tooth brushing

• Red, swollen, or tender gums

• Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth

• Receding gums

• Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums

• Loose or shifting teeth

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek treatment to prevent further damage and restore gum health.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

Seeking timely treatment for gum disease at Smile Story Dental Centre can offer numerous benefits:

• Stops Disease Progression: Early intervention can halt the progression of gum disease, preventing more severe health issues.

• Preserves Your Teeth: Effective treatment can save your natural teeth, avoiding the need for extraction or implants.

• Improves Overall Health: Treating gum disease can contribute to better overall health, as periodontal disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.

• Enhances Your Smile: Treatment can improve the appearance of your smile by reducing gum swelling, redness, and recession.

The Gum Disease Treatment Process

Our comprehensive approach to treating gum disease includes:

• Assessment and Diagnosis: We conduct a thorough examination of your gums, teeth, and bone structure to diagnose the stage of gum disease and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

• Deep Cleaning: Also known as scaling and root planing, this procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, and smoothing out rough spots on the tooth root where bacteria gather.

• Advanced Treatments: For more advanced cases, we may recommend additional treatments, such as laser therapy, local antibiotics, or surgical interventions to restore gum health.

• Ongoing Maintenance: We provide guidance on home care practices to prevent future gum disease and schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your gum health.
