Gum Disease Treatment in Winnipeg

Experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or even loose teeth? These could be signs of gum disease, a common but serious condition affecting millions. At our Winnipeg clinic, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and advanced gum disease treatment to restore your oral health, no matter the stage.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as perio disease or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It ranges from mild gum inflammation (gingivitis) to a severe form called periodontitis (sometimes referred to as parodontosis), which can lead to significant bone loss and tooth loss.

Key signs and symptoms of gum disease include:

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
Receding gums (gums pulling away from the teeth, making teeth look longer)
Formation of deep gum pockets (also called gingival pockets or perio pockets) between teeth and gums
Loose or shifting teeth
Changes in how your teeth fit together when you bite

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to seek professional help promptly. Early detection and treatment for gum disease can prevent more severe complications.

Our Gum Disease Treatment Services

Our Winnipeg clinic provides a full spectrum of gum disease treatment options, tailored to the specific stage and severity of your condition. Our goal is to halt the progression of the disease, reduce inflammation, and help you regain healthy gums and a stable smile.

Non-Surgical Treatments

For early gum disease like gingivitis, or to manage more advanced cases, non-surgical approaches are often the first line of defense:

Professional Dental Cleanings (Scaling): More extensive than a regular cleaning, scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from both above and below the gum line.
Root Planing: This procedure smooths the root surfaces of your teeth, making it harder for plaque to reattach and helping your gums reattach to your teeth.
Antibiotic Therapy: Topical or oral antibiotics may be used to control bacterial infection within the gum pockets.

Advanced Treatments for Complex Cases

When gum disease has progressed, causing deep gum pockets or significant bone loss, more advanced interventions may be necessary. We also address concerns like gum recession with specialized gingival recession treatments.

Pocket Reduction Procedures: For deeper perio pockets, we may perform a procedure to reduce the pocket depth, making it easier to clean and preventing further bacterial accumulation and bone loss.
Regenerative Procedures: Techniques like bone grafting or guided tissue regeneration can help regrow bone and tissue lost due to advanced gum disease.
Gum Grafts (Soft Tissue Grafts): For gingival recession, a gum graft can cover exposed tooth roots, reducing sensitivity, protecting against decay, and improving the appearance of your gums and teeth.
Ongoing Maintenance: After initial treatment, regular periodontal maintenance cleanings are crucial to prevent the recurrence of gum disease and keep your gums healthy.
