Healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth. At Dentistes Fabreville, we offer personalized care to help prevent, manage, and treat gum disease — also known as periodontal disease — at every stage.
Gum disease is a common condition, but when left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health. That’s why early diagnosis and proper treatment are key.
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It often begins with mild symptoms like redness or bleeding and can progress to more serious stages if not addressed.
There are two main forms:
-
Gingivitis: The early stage, typically reversible with professional care and good oral hygiene.
-
Periodontitis: A more advanced stage that may lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth mobility if untreated.
-
Red, swollen, or tender gums
-
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
-
Persistent bad breath
-
Gum recession (teeth appear longer)
-
Loose or shifting teeth
-
Comprehensive Gum Evaluations: We check for signs of inflammation, measure gum pockets, and assess overall gum health.
-
Deep Cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing): A specialized cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline to help control infection.
-
Maintenance Visits: Regular cleanings and monitoring to prevent recurrence and support long-term gum health.
-
Oral Hygiene Guidance: Customized advice on brushing, flossing, and home care tools to keep your gums healthy.
-
Referral for Advanced Treatment: When needed, we can refer patients to trusted specialists for surgical or laser-based periodontal treatments.
Every patient’s gum health is different. We take the time to assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate care plan to manage your condition and restore gum health.
