Gum Disease Treatment in Windsor

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a progressive condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. It begins as gingivitis (mild inflammation) and, if left untreated, can progress to periodontitis, a more serious form that may lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues.

Common symptoms include:

• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
• Sore or tender gums
• Gum discolouration or swelling
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum recession
• Tooth sensitivity or looseness

Poor oral hygiene is one of the leading causes of gum disease, but it can also be influenced by factors like smoking, diet, genetics, or certain medical conditions. The good news? It’s largely preventable and treatable—especially when caught early.

Gingivitis and Periodontitis Treatment

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gingiva—the soft tissue surrounding your teeth. Common symptoms include bleeding, swelling, soreness, and bad breath. If treated early, gingivitis can be completely reversed.

Periodontitis

Periodontitis occurs when the condition progresses below the gum line, causing the tissues and bone that support your teeth to deteriorate. If left untreated, this can lead to tooth loss and affect your overall health.

At CastleView, we treat gum disease with a combination of:

• Professional hygiene therapy (scale and polish)
• Deep cleaning/root planing (when necessary)
• Antibacterial treatment
• Personalised at-home hygiene guidance
