  1. Is It Time to Consider Periodontics Services? Have you noticed any changes to your teeth recently? If you have, it may be due to gum disease. According to The Canadian Dental Association, 70% of Canadians will develop some form of gum disease at some point in their lives. Poor or irregular brushing and flossing as well as inconsistent professional dental cleanings are the main contributor to advanced gum disease, but certain lifestyle habits can contribute as well, such as smoking or eating a diet high in acidic foods and sugar. While early stages of gum disease can be diagnosed and, in some cases, even treated by a dentist, more advanced stages require periodontics services in Toronto. If it’s been a while since your last check-up, it may be time to schedule an appointment with your dentist to assess the health of your gums. Luckily, you do not need a referral from your dentist to see a periodontist. If you’ve noticed symptoms of gum disease, such as inflammation, pain, or bleeding during flossing or brushing, a receding gum line, a change in your bite, or if your teeth have been feeling a little ‘loose’ lately, it’s best to look up a periodontist and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.

  2. Services Available So how does a periodontist differ from a dentist? To become a periodontist, doctors need to complete an additional three years of dental school. Upon completion, they are able to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease. There are a number of treatments available for gum disease, varying by stages. For minor gum disease, the first stage of treatment is the removal of hardened plaque on the surface of the teeth and just below the gum line, known as root planing and scaling. For more advanced stages of gingivitis where the gum line has receded, gum grafting may be necessary. Periodontists can also provide dental implants to replace missing teeth, lengthen crowns, and treat bone loss. Periodontic services are applied for increased functionality (such as biting and chewing) and for aesthetic reasons, to improve a smile affected by gingivitis or tooth loss.
