Care for Your Gums and Supporting Structures of Your Teeth

Healthy gums are essential to maintaining a healthy smile. Cracovia Dental in Mississauga provides periodontal assessment and care to help identify, manage and monitor conditions affecting the gums and tissues supporting your teeth.

If you are experiencing bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath or changes around your teeth and gums, a dental assessment can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease, develops when inflammation and infection affect the gums and supporting structures surrounding the teeth.

Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease and may cause redness, swelling or bleeding. If periodontal disease progresses, it can affect the bone and tissues supporting the teeth.

Signs You May Need a Gum Assessment

Contact your dentist if you notice:

Bleeding gums
Red or swollen gums
Gum tenderness
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums
Teeth appearing longer
Changes in your bite
Loose teeth
Discomfort when chewing

Not everyone experiences obvious symptoms, which is why routine dental examinations are important.

Periodontal Care

Depending on your oral health, periodontal care may involve:

Comprehensive gum assessment
Measurement of periodontal pockets
Professional dental cleaning
Scaling and root planing when appropriate
Oral hygiene recommendations
Periodontal maintenance
Monitoring changes in gum and bone health

Treatment recommendations depend on the type and severity of the condition.

Why Gum Health Matters

Healthy gums provide essential support for your teeth. Untreated periodontal disease can progressively damage the tissues and bone supporting the teeth.

Early detection and ongoing periodontal maintenance can help manage gum disease and protect your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gum disease?

Plaque accumulation is a major contributor. Smoking, certain health conditions, genetics and inadequate oral hygiene may also affect periodontal health.

Are bleeding gums normal?

Occasional irritation can occur, but persistent bleeding should be assessed by a dental professional.

Can gum disease cause tooth loss?

Advanced periodontal disease can damage the tissues and bone supporting teeth and may eventually contribute to tooth loss.

What is scaling and root planing?

It is a deeper form of dental cleaning used in certain cases to remove plaque and calculus from below the gumline and around tooth roots.

How often do I need periodontal maintenance?

The appropriate schedule depends on your periodontal condition and individual risk factors.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would definitely recommend this clinic. 👍👍👍The staff—including the front desk, dentist, and assistant—were all kind, respectful, professional and very helpful. I came in with broken crown and I was quite shaken. They made sure I was comfortable and provided quick service to secure the site. Since I don’t have dental benefits, they provided me with  information, and explained how I might qualify for coverage through the government program. They also offered assistance in application process and offered discount in consideration of my situation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience at the dentist today! I went with my two kids, and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The team was incredibly patient, kind, and professional, especially with my children—they took the time to explain everything in a friendly way and made sure they felt at ease.

The clinic was very clean and well-organized, and the service was efficient without feeling rushed. Both of my kids left smiling, which says a lot! It’s not always easy to find a place that is great with children, but this office truly exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommend to any families looking for a caring and trustworthy dental team! 🤗
