Gum Disease Treatment & Prevention

Service Description

Gum disease (periodontal disease) affects many Londoners, especially seniors. Left untreated, it leads to tooth loss and serious health complications. We provide both treatment and prevention. Scaling and Root Planing: Our scaling and root planing procedure removes bacteria and calculus (hardened plaque) from below the gumline where regular brushing can't reach. This professional treatment reduces gum inflammation and bleeding, stops disease progression, helps gums reattach to teeth, prevents tooth loss, and can reverse early-stage gum disease. Signs You May Have Gum Disease: - Red, swollen, or tender gums - Bleeding when brushing or flossing - Persistent bad breath - Receding gums - Loose teeth Gum Disease Prevention: Beyond treatment, we provide personalized guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, diet and lifestyle factors affecting gum health, regular monitoring and maintenance, and home care products suited to your needs. Duration: 60-90 minutes for treatment; 45-60 minutes for maintenance cleaning Recommended: Follow-up cleanings every 3-4 months for gum disease patients
