Periodontal Therapy Etobicoke

Periodontal or gum disease is an infection that affects the tissues supporting teeth, leading to tooth loss in many Canadian adults. Gingivitis and periodontitis are the main types.

Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial for preventing and spotting gum disease early. Surprisingly, many people with gum disease don't realize it because symptoms can be subtle.

Symptoms of gum disease include:

• Bad breath
• Receding gums
• Swollen or bleeding gums
• Tooth sensitivity

Early treatment is important for keeping your natural teeth. Deep dental cleanings, like scaling and root planning, remove bacteria and debris from gum tissue. In some cases, additional treatments like bone grafting or antibiotics may be needed.
