Whether you need preventive care or advanced periodontal treatment, we’re here to support your journey to optimal gum health.

Halitosis Treatment

Persistent bad breath can be embarrassing and may indicate an underlying oral health issue. At Dentistry on Ellesmere, our Scarborough dentists thoroughly assess the cause of halitosis, whether it stems from gum disease, dry mouth, cavities, or bacterial buildup on the tongue. Through professional cleanings, targeted treatments, and personalized oral hygiene recommendations, we help eliminate bad breath at its source.

Addressing halitosis isn’t just about freshening breath—it’s about improving overall oral health. Our team provides expert guidance on diet, hydration, and effective home care routines to prevent recurring issues. With our comprehensive approach, you can enjoy long-lasting freshness and renewed confidence in your smile.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning procedure designed to combat gum disease and restore oral health. Our Scarborough dentists carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, preventing further infection and inflammation. By smoothing the tooth roots, we create a clean surface that encourages gum tissue to reattach, reducing pocket depth and promoting healing.

This non-surgical treatment is essential for preventing the progression of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. With our gentle approach and advanced techniques, we ensure a comfortable experience while helping you achieve healthier gums and a stronger foundation for your smile.
