You know, gum disease if you look at the stats is a very prevalent problem in our population. Over half the population has it and if you literally want to keep your teeth through your life it has to be addressed. We're very attuned to that a lot of continued Ed (education) in that area for hygienists are excellent at treating it, diagnosing it, and maintaining healthy gums over a long period of time is very critical. We do a lot of non-surgical procedures, deep cleanings, root plannings that kind of things to eliminate the infection and inflammation of the tissues. I actually did go back for some postgraduate work and in periodontics, so I do a fair amount of the actual Perio-surgery if that's needed. It's not needed in a lot of cases but it was done, we do it in-house also.

So an emphasis on gum health has taken a different importance in the last decade. We've known for a long time that periodontal disease, gum disease can really harm someone's dental health. Irreversible jawbone loss is not a good place to be, so that's really important. In addition, the research has been coming out over the last 10 or 15 years that gum health and body health are very, very much interrelated. So it's called the systemic link between gum health and systemic health. A lot of things with heart disease, memory loss, lightweight babies at birth, that's very much linked to the health of the mouth in the gum health sense. So we offer a wide range of services in that regard to tailor the treatment to get that patient back to being healthy. That can range from routine cleanings and checkups to a bit more involved, what's called scaling and root planing, deep cleanings. It could involve localized gum surgical procedures. All those things are in our comfort zone to make sure our patients are healthy.
We can also relieve gum inflammation using the following special techniques:
- Scaling, a deep cleaning of your tooth roots and gum tissue
- Root planing, a process where we smooth your tooth roots to prevent bacteria from accumulating there
- Perio Protect®, an at-home treatment that uses customized trays filled with medication to relieve gum disease
If you have advanced gum disease, we may recommend gum disease surgery. Depending on your unique case, we will repair or replace your:
- Jawbone structure
- Bone and/or gum tissue
- Gum ligaments
