Periodontal (Gum) Disease Treatment in Burlington, ON

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions affecting adults—and without proper treatment, it can lead to serious consequences. At Maple Dental Office & Mapleview Dental Centre, we provide comprehensive periodontal disease treatment in Burlington, ON to help patients stop gum disease progression, protect their teeth, and restore long-term oral health.

Understanding Gum (Periodontal) Disease

Periodontal disease begins when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, gums may become red, swollen, and prone to bleeding. Without treatment, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, a more serious infection that damages the gums, bone, and connective tissues supporting your teeth. Early diagnosis and professional care are key to preventing tooth loss and long-term complications.

From Inflammation to Serious Conditions

Periodontal disease encompasses a spectrum ranging from simple gum inflammation to severe conditions that cause significant damage to the supportive soft tissue and bone around your teeth. The trajectory of your gum disease hinges on your daily oral care routine.

Diving Deeper into Periodontal Disease

If left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis – an inflammation that extends around the tooth. This results in the formation of pockets between the gums and teeth, fostering infection. As plaque spreads below the gum line, the body’s immune response combats bacteria. However, bacterial toxins and the body’s reaction to infection gradually degrade the bone and connective tissue anchoring teeth. Without intervention, teeth support structures are compromised, potentially leading to tooth loss.
