Gum Disease Treatment Dentist

Are you experiencing swollen, bleeding gums or persistent bad breath? Gum disease can silently erode the health of your teeth and gums if left untreated. As a trusted gum disease treatment dentist, My Dentist Drouin provides effective solutions to prevent further damage and restore your oral health.

Gum disease, also known as gingivitis or periodontitis in advanced stages, affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. With professional care and proper management, we can help you maintain healthy gums and a confident smile.

Symptoms of a Gum Disease

Gum disease often begins silently, making early detection crucial. Here are the key signs to watch for:
Bleeding Gums
Especially when brushing or flossing.
Swollen and Sore Gums
Persistent tenderness or inflammation.
Heavy Plaque Build-Up
Noticeable deposits around the gumline.
Tooth Sensitivity
Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
Dark Deposits
Brown or black tartar build-up near the gums.
Receding Gums
Teeth may appear longer due to gum recession.
Loose or Mobile Teeth
Movement or instability of teeth.
Pain While Chewing
Discomfort during eating may indicate underlying issues.
Tooth Loss
Teeth falling out without clear trauma
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, consult a gum disease dentist immediately for evaluation and treatment.

Our Treatment Process and Options

We follow a comprehensive approach at My Dentist Drouin to diagnose and treat gum disease, ensuring optimal care and lasting results:

  1. Thorough Diagnosis
    • A gum chart to evaluate the depth of gum pockets.
    • X-rays to detect bone loss or other complications.
  2. Professional Cleaning (Scaling and Debridement)

    For mild cases like gingivitis, we perform a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. This non-invasive procedure helps reduce inflammation and restore gum health.

  3. Deep Gum Cleaning (Periodontal Debridement)

    For patients with periodontitis, we offer deep cleaning procedures that may involve:

    • Root planning to smooth tooth roots and remove bacteria.
    • Numbing agents to ensure a pain-free experience.
  4. Ongoing Maintenance

    Gum disease requires lifelong management. Regular professional cleanings and good oral hygiene practices are essential to prevent recurrence.

  5. Advanced Treatment Options

    For severe cases, we may recommend:

    • Antibiotic therapy to address persistent infection.
    • Surgical procedures like gum grafting to restore gum tissue.
    • Bone regeneration techniques for extensive bone loss.
