Periodontal Therapy Thornhill
Periodontal Care for a Strong & Healthy Foundation
Periodontal (Gum) Disease is a serious infection affecting the tissues, ligaments, and bone that support your teeth. As a leading cause of tooth loss in Canadian adults—affecting at least 75% of North Americans over the age of 35—it often develops silently without obvious symptoms. At Promenade Village Dental, we specialize in early detection, deep cleaning, and advanced therapies to save your natural teeth and protect your oral health.

What to Expect: Our Periodontal Care Approach
Because gum disease often progresses silently, routine periodontal screenings are your first line of defense. Here is how we systematically treat and manage gum infections to restore your oral health:
Step 1: Thorough Screening & Assessment
We measure gum pocket depths and evaluate bone levels around your teeth to precisely locate and grade any active infection.
Step 2: Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Planing)
Our team removes the harmful bacteria, plaque, and calculus buildup from beneath the gum line, allowing the inflamed tissues to heal.
Step 3: Localized Antibiotic Therapy
For stubborn or deeper pockets, we can apply targeted topical antibiotics directly to the site of infection to support faster healing.
Step 4: Advanced Restoration & Bone Grafting
In more severe cases of bone loss, we perform specialized therapies like bone grafting to help rebuild and stabilize your tooth support structures.
Understanding Periodontal Disease: Signs & Prevention
Most people believe their gums are completely healthy, but early-stage symptoms are often missed without a professional exam. Knowing what to watch for is essential.
Warning Signs
Symptoms of Gum Disease
If you notice any of these signs, you should schedule a diagnostic periodontal screening immediately:
- • Persistent, hard-to-cure bad breath (halitosis)
- • Visible gum recession (teeth appearing "longer")
- • Swollen, bright red, or tender gums
- • Bleeding gums when you brush, floss, or eat hard foods
Early Treatment
The Importance of Swift Action
The two main phases of gum disease behave very differently. The early stage, gingivitis, is highly reversible with simple cleanings and improved home care.
If ignored, it advances to periodontitis, which permanently damages bone and tissue. Acting quickly is the single best way to keep your natural smile intact and avoid permanent tooth loss.
