Gum disease develops when plaque and tartar contribute to inflammation and infection around the teeth. Richmond Dental Centre provides gum disease treatment along with related services such as root planing, routine cleanings and gum-grafting procedures.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, affects the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Gingivitis is an earlier stage of gum disease, while periodontitis is a more advanced condition that can damage the gums and supporting bone if it progresses.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

  • Reduce plaque and tartar around and below the gumline
  • Address bleeding, swollen, or tender gums
  • Treat deeper periodontal pockets when root planing is indicated
  • Support the health of tissues that hold the teeth in place
  • Create an ongoing maintenance plan based on the severity of gum disease

How Gum Disease May Be Treated

Treatment is based on the stage of gum disease and the condition of the teeth, gums, and supporting bone.

Periodontal Assessment: Your gums are examined for inflammation, recession, pocketing, bleeding, and other signs of periodontal disease.

Professional Cleaning: Early gum inflammation may be managed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.

Root Planing: When deeper deposits are present below the gumline, scaling and root planing may be recommended.

Additional Treatment: Depending on the severity of gum disease, medication or surgical treatment may sometimes be considered.

Maintenance: Ongoing professional care and consistent brushing and interdental cleaning are important for controlling periodontal disease over time.
