How Do We Treat Periodontal Disease?
At ScarboroSmiles, we have different ways to treat gum disease. We will choose the best treatment for you based on how bad your gum disease is.
Treatments Without Surgery
If your gum disease is not too bad, we can treat it without surgery. These treatments can stop the infection and help your gums get better.
Deep cleaning - We clean deep under your gums to remove plaque and tartar. We also smooth the roots of your teeth so bacteria cannot stick to them as easily.
Medicine to kill bacteria - We may give you special mouthwash or medicine to put on your gums. This helps kill the bacteria that cause gum disease.
Tips for cleaning your teeth at home - We will show you the best way to brush and floss your teeth at home. Good home care helps keep your gums healthy.
Treatments With Surgery
If your gum disease is very bad, you may need surgery. Surgery can help fix your gums and bones.
Gum surgery - We lift your gums to clean away plaque that is deep inside. Then we stitch your gums back in place. This helps your gums fit tight around your teeth again.
Bone repair - If gum disease has damaged the bone around your teeth, we can use special materials to help rebuild it. This makes your teeth stronger.
Gum repair - If your gums have pulled back and your tooth roots are showing, we can cover them. We take tissue from another part of your mouth and put it over the exposed roots.
Helping new bone grow - We use special methods to help your body grow new bone and tissue where gum disease has caused damage.
Our dentists at ScarboroSmiles will look at your gums and tell you which treatment is right for you.

What Is Periodontal Disease?
Gum disease happens when bacteria in your mouth attack your gums and the bones that hold your teeth in place. If you don't get treatment, your gums can pull away from your teeth, your teeth may get loose, and you could lose them.
Signs you may have gum disease:
Your gums bleed when you brush or floss
Your gums are puffy, red, or sore
You have bad breath that won't go away
Your gums are pulling back, and your teeth look longer
Your teeth feel loose or your bite feels different
Catching gum disease early helps protect your teeth and gums from serious damage.
How Is Periodontal Disease Diagnosed?
Our dentists at ScarboroSmiles check for gum disease during your dental visit. We look at your mouth carefully to see if your gums are healthy.
Here is what we do to find gum disease:
We look at your gums to see if they are red, swollen, or bleeding.
We use a small tool to measure the space between your teeth and gums. Healthy gums have small spaces. Sick gums have bigger spaces.
We take special pictures called X-rays. These pictures show us if the bone around your teeth is damaged.
We ask you questions about your health. Things like smoking or diabetes can make gum disease worse.
After we check your gums, we will tell you what we found. If you have gum disease, we will make a plan to help your gums get better.
