Gum Disease & Gingivitis Treatment
at Summer Hill Dental Group
A healthy, beautiful smile involves more than keeping your pearly whites clean. Your gum health is vital too. Gum disease can affect people of all ages and results in tooth pain, bad breath and tooth loss. Our dentists here at Summer Hill Dental Group provide gentle treatment options for gum disease that will halt its progression or even reverse it.
The Symptoms of Gum Disease
If your gums bleed, that’s one of the first indications that you have gum disease. Gums also can become swollen, inflamed, tender and painful. Those with gum disease also can have persistent bad breath and a bitter taste in the mouth after sleeping. In the later stages, the gums may pull away from the teeth, creating pockets where pus may accumulate. The teeth can become loosened or may even fall out.
The Stages of Gum Disease
Our Treatments
If you have gingivitis, we will provide you with a thorough scale and clean to eliminate the plaque buildup along the gumline. We’ll also go through the proper home care to prevent symptoms from returning.
Periodontitis requires a more extensive cleaning, which may take place over several appointments. If necessary, a local anaesthetic can be administered prior to the procedure beginning.
