 Regain confidence and protect your oral health with personalized gum disease treatment and halitosis care in Scarborough—designed for comfort, effectiveness, and long-term results.

Understanding Gum Disease: Protecting Your Foundation

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a gum infection that can harm the soft tissue and, if not treated, may lead to the destruction of the bone supporting your teeth. It can range in severity from gingivitis, which is mild inflammation of the gums, to periodontitis, a more serious condition involving significant damage to the gums and bone.

Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health. At Dentistry on Ellesmere, our Scarborough dentists specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease at all stages, from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. We provide thorough cleanings, deep scaling, and personalized treatment plans to address symptoms like bleeding gums, gum recession, and inflammation, preventing further damage to your teeth and jawbone.

Left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious oral health complications, including tooth loss and systemic health issues. Our team focuses on early intervention and ongoing maintenance, offering expert guidance to help you protect your gums. Whether you need preventive care or advanced periodontal treatment, we’re here to support your journey to optimal gum health.

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 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.
