From bleeding gums to advanced gum disease, our in-house periodontal care helps you keep your natural teeth and your confidence. Gentle, thorough treatment for patients across Oshawa and the Durham Region.
Gum (periodontal) disease is an infection of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth, caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar. It begins quietly often without pain which is why so many people don’t realize they have it until it’s advanced. Left untreated, it gradually destroys the gum and bone anchoring your teeth, eventually leading to loose teeth or tooth loss. The good news: it’s both preventable and treatable, especially when caught early and at Oshawa Downtown Dental, we provide that care in-house.

Early signs include gums that bleed when you brush or floss, redness, swelling, tenderness, and persistent bad breath. As it advances, you may notice receding gums, sensitivity, or loose teeth. Because early gum disease is often painless, regular checkups are the best way to catch it before it progresses.
The earliest stage, gingivitis, can be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Once it advances to periodontitis, the damage to bone can’t be undone but professional treatment can halt its progression and save your teeth. The earlier you’re treated, the better the outcome.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots so the gums can heal and reattach. It’s the most common non-surgical treatment for gum disease and is very effective for early to moderate cases.
Most periodontal treatment is comfortable. Deep cleaning is done with local anaesthetic so you shouldn’t feel pain, and options like laser therapy typically involve less discomfort and faster recovery than traditional surgery. Mild tenderness for a few days afterward is normal and easily managed.
Yes. Research has linked periodontal disease to conditions including heart disease and diabetes. The bacteria involved in gum disease can affect your overall health, so treating it protects more than just your teeth it supports your whole-body wellbeing.
