Treatment for bleeding, receding or infected gums, and the upkeep that keeps them stable.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. At Ogilvie Dental in Gloucester, Ottawa, we treat gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis through to gum surgery where cleaning alone can no longer reach. Gum disease is common and often causes no discomfort in its early stages, which is why it is easy to miss. Left untreated it can lead to tooth loss.
Scaling & Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar below the gum line
Gum Surgery: Where gum disease has progressed beyond what cleaning alone can reach. Cases needing specialist care are referred to a periodontist.
Maintenance Therapy: Ongoing care to prevent disease recurrence
Treatment is matched to the stage the disease has reached.
Because gum disease often causes no discomfort in its early stages, an examination is what identifies it. We check the gums and look for the signs above.
