Exposed roots and longer-looking teeth may indicate advanced gum damage.
At DentiFlow Dentistry in Thornhill, we provide effective and personalized gum disease treatment to prevent long-term damage and restore your oral health. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Left untreated, it can impact not just your gums and teeth, but your overall health as well. Our experienced dental team uses proven techniques to treat all stages of gum disease—gently and thoroughly.
Gum disease treatment focuses on controlling the infection caused by plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline. It may involve deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and, in more advanced cases, surgical intervention. The goal is to eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help your gums reattach to your teeth.

Here’s what to expect when you visit DentiFlow for gum disease care:
We assess your gum health, measure pocket depth, and use X-rays to check for bone loss.
Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and root surfaces are smoothed to help gums heal.
We may apply localized antibiotics or prescribe medication to reduce bacterial infection.
We schedule regular cleanings and exams to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
Early signs like bleeding when brushing or puffiness signal gingivitis—the earliest stage of gum disease.
Exposed roots and longer-looking teeth may indicate advanced gum damage.
Whitening agents do not affect crowns, veneers, or fillings. We’ll advise you if color-matching restorations will be needed afterward.
Advanced gum disease can weaken tooth support and should be treated promptly.
After treatment:
Avoid eating hard or spicy foods for 24–48 hours.
Rinse with warm saltwater or a prescribed mouthwash to aid healing.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle flossing techniques.
Schedule periodontal maintenance visits every 3–4 months.
Let us know if symptoms persist or worsen.
