Why Periodontics Matters

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues. When gum disease is not identified and treated early, it can cause inflammation and possible tooth loss because it weakens the tissues surrounding the teeth. Receiving early and ongoing care can help preserve your long-term gum health by addressing several symptoms.

What to Expect at Sedation Dental Group

Our periodontal treatment in Ottawa is developed to be simple and supportive. Here's what the process typically includes:

1. Gum Health Exam: We check your gum pockets and look for signs of infection or inflammation.
2. X-rays: Digital images can help us see bone levels and determine how far the disease has progressed.
3. Diagnosis & Education: We explain your diagnosis and review treatment options in plain language.
4. Treatment Plan: This might include deep cleaning or surgery.
5. Ongoing Care: We schedule follow-ups and provide home care instructions to support healing.
6. Monitoring & Maintenance: Long-term success depends on consistent monitoring and cleanings.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

The Canadian Dental Association states that gum disease is one of the most common dental problems adults face, but it can actually begin at any age. Because it often develops slowly and without causing any pain, you might not notice any signs until the disease is serious and you are in danger of losing teeth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in two men and one in three women 30 years or older had some level of periodontitis. Gum disease begins with plaque, which is why routine cleanings and checkups are so important.

How Often / Who Needs Periodontics

Anyone with gum disease, gum recession, or loose teeth may need periodontal treatment. If you notice bleeding when brushing, bad breath, gum swelling, or teeth that feel loose, it’s time to be evaluated.
