Prevention and Treatment of Gum Disease
Dentist Burlington
At Haymore Family Dentistry of Burlington, we focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease through our periodontic services. Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It often starts with plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth, leading to inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is marked by red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing, and discomfort. If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, a more severe condition that causes gum recession, bone damage, and potential tooth loss. Our team is committed to helping you maintain healthy gums through regular check-ups, effective treatment, and personalized care. By addressing gum disease early, we work to prevent its progression, restore gum health, and help you achieve a lifetime of strong, healthy teeth. Trust us to provide the care and attention you need for optimal periodontal health.

Diagnosis
We carefully evaluate your gum health through detailed exams and advanced diagnostic tools. Our goal is to identify any early signs of gum disease, including inflammation or deep pockets between your gums and teeth. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and preventing further complications.
Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, involves removing plaque and tartar below the gum line. This vital procedure helps treat gum disease, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. By thoroughly cleaning the gums and roots, we protect your teeth from further damage and support long-term gum health.
