Our experienced team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing you with personalized, effective treatments to restore your oral health and smile.
Understanding Gum Disease & Bad Breath
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition caused by bacteria buildup along the gumline. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss, bone loss, and even increased risk of heart disease. Bad breath, or halitosis, can be a symptom of gum disease or other underlying oral health issues.
Although periodontal (gum) disease affects millions of people, many are unaware of the serious health dangers it poses if not properly treated. Gum irritation may be only the beginning. If gum disease is left untreated, it may develop into serious health problems. Our dentists in Brampton offer an extensive variety of periodontal treatments to enhance the appearance of your gums, improve your oral health, and reduce the risk of developing health problems linked to your overall health condition.
If you are constantly experiencing an unpleasant odour produced from your mouth, it may be an indication of halitosis. Halitosis is commonly known as bad breath. It is a condition that cannot be resolved by merely a toothbrush or mouthwash. The tongue’s small uneven surface traps germs that generate smells, contributing to bad breath. Halitosis can negatively affect one’s self-esteem and smile but don’t worry because it is relatively easy to provide a remedy! Our dental team in Brampton is bound to provide treatment that will give you fresh breath and a long-lasting smile.
Scaling and root planing enables our periodontist in Brampton to clean between the roots of the teeth and gums to remove bacteria or plaque that may cause diseases. Aside from that, this procedure prevents jawbone deterioration and heals infected gum tissues. If your mouth shows symptoms of chronic periodontal disease, we will suggest teeth scaling and root planing to help you avoid the negative consequences of this oral issue and maintain your oral health. We will carefully perform the treatment to ensure patient comfort, safety, and convenience.
