Dental Problems
Dental Problems Gum Disease Treatment Can Address
Bleeding Gums
When your gums become irritated because of the bacteria in plaque, they can bleed. Bleeding gums is one of the symptoms of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease.
Timberlands Dental Clinic offers dental services for this condition to prevent irritation of your gums and disease progression.
Gum Disease
Gum disease can cause many problems, such as swollen gum tissues, gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, sensitive teeth, bad breath, and tooth removal. This advanced form is known as periodontitis.
With our periodontal treatment, you can prevent gum disease from causing more damage and future complications.
Bad Breath
Bad breath is another sign of gum disease caused by the same bacteria found in plaque.
Our qualified health practitioners can help freshen your breath and restore your confidence through our gum disease treatment.
Missing Teeth
When gum disease is not managed and develops into periodontitis, the tooth-supporting tissues and bone can be destroyed. This can cause teeth to become loose and eventually fall out.
Don’t wait until it’s too late—our periodontal disease treatment can help you keep your healthy teeth!

Frequently Asked Questions about
Gum Disease Treatment
What happens during gum disease treatment?
During the treatment process, you can expect the following:
- Our dental practitioners will assess the severity of your gum disease and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you.
- The treatment may involve a deep clean to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. This can also include root planing, a dental procedure that removes the bacteria on your tooth root surfaces.
- You may be asked to take medications to help control the inflammation.
- We may also recommend changes to your at-home oral care routine. It will depend on your oral condition if you need to undergo a surgical procedure to access the roots of your teeth and clean them thoroughly.
- The dentist will provide aftercare and oral hygiene instructions. They may also recommend follow-up appointments to help keep your gums healthy.
- You may need to come back for multiple dental appointments to ensure your gum disease is controlled.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
How do I prevent gum disease in the future?
Excellent dental hygiene habits are the best way to prevent gum disease. Here are simple steps to keep your gums healthy:
- Tooth brushing along the gum line twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss every day to remove food and plaque from between your teeth.
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce plaque.
- See your dentist for checkups and cleanings regularly.
- Have a balanced diet and avoid starchy and sugary snacks.
- It is recommended to quit smoking as it increases the risk of periodontal disease.
What happens when gum disease is not managed?
Gum disease can progress to its advanced form, called periodontitis when left untreated. This condition damages the tooth-supporting tissues and bone, causing decreased support for your teeth. As a result, your teeth may become loose and require removal, which may need more expensive dental treatments in the future.
That’s why it’s essential to have good oral health care habits and get treatment for gum disease in its early stages when it is still reversible.
How often should I visit the dentist if I have gum disease?
If you have gum disease, you must visit your dentist regularly. It is generally recommended to visit every three to four months. The frequency of visits depends on your risks and the severity of gum disease.
Our experienced team will discuss this with their dental patients. They will create a schedule to monitor their gum disease based on their condition. Talk to your dentist for more information!
