Gum Diseases (Periodontology)

Periodontics diagnoses and treats gum disease and bone loss to preserve teeth long-term. At Isler Dental, deep cleaning and non-surgical therapies effectively control the disease at every stage.

Gum Diseases (Periodontology)

Healthy teeth begin with healthy gums

Periodontology focuses on protecting the tissues surrounding teeth (gums, connective tissue and jawbone) and treating their diseases. Early gum problems are easier to treat, while advanced cases can lead to bone loss and tooth loss. Below we cover three core treatments: gingivitis care, deep scaling and gum recession treatment.

01 - Gingivitis Treatment

A stage that can be fully reversed with early diagnosis

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease characterized by redness, swelling and bleeding during brushing. Its primary cause is plaque and tartar buildup. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis and cause bone loss.

Symptoms

  • Bleeding while brushing
  • Bad breath
  • Redness and swelling of gums
  • Gum sensitivity

How is it treated?

  • Professional scaling and polishing
  • Improved oral hygiene guidance
  • Regular follow-up appointments

02 - Deep Scale Cleaning

Removing deep tartar deposits below the gum line

Deep scaling cleans tartar and plaque below the gum line to prevent further inflammation and bone loss.

When is it needed?

  • Advanced gum disease or pocketing
  • Persistent bleeding and inflammation
  • Bad breath caused by deep deposits

03 - Gum Recession Treatment

Protecting exposed tooth roots

Gum recession exposes tooth roots, leading to sensitivity and increased risk of decay. Treatment aims to stabilize the gum line and protect the root surfaces.

Treatment options

  • Deep cleaning and desensitization
  • Gum grafts when needed
  • Adjusting brushing habits and bite issues
