What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a common but often silent condition that affects the gums and jawbone. According to the Canadian Dental Association, 7 in 10 Canadians will experience it at some point in their lives.
It typically starts as gingivitis, an early stage of gum infection caused by plaque buildup. Without proper care, plaque hardens into tartar, and bacteria can create small pockets between teeth and gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Why Periodontal Treatment Matters
Gum disease isn’t just a problem for your mouth—it’s linked to other health concerns like heart disease, diabetes, and low birth weight. That’s why treating gum issues early can protect more than just your smile.
You may need periodontal treatment if you notice:
- Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
- Receding gumlines
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth or shifting bite
- Visible tartar or gum sensitivity
Our Gum Treatment Options
Treatment depends on how far the disease has progressed. At Chinook Village Dental, we offer several personalized options to help restore your oral health:
- Deep cleaning (scaling & root planing): A non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. It also smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach to the teeth.
- Pocket reduction: When deep cleaning is performed, it helps remove plaque and bacteria from below the gumline. As inflammation decreases and the gums begin to heal, the depth of periodontal pockets can be reduced, making it easier to maintain long-term oral health.
How You Can Keep Your Gums Healthy
Gum disease is often painless—until it’s advanced. That’s why prevention and early detection are so important. Here’s how you can keep your gums healthy:
- Brush gently for 2–3 minutes twice a day
- Floss daily, or use a floss holder if needed
- Use an antibacterial mouth rinse
- Eat a balanced diet, low in sugar and starch
- Avoid tobacco products
- Stay hydrated and monitor dry mouth caused by medications
- Visit us regularly for dental checkups and cleanings
