Are your gums healthy? Do they bleed when brushing or feel swollen afterward? Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health, and addressing any issues early can make a big difference. At Dentistry On Derry, we provide effective treatments to restore and maintain your gum health. Gum problems are treatable, and our skilled dentists deliver personalized care to ensure the best results. With professional gum treatment in Mississauga, our team is dedicated to revitalizing your gums and supporting your overall oral well-being.
Gum disease often starts with aggressive brushing, which can cause cuts or irritation on the gums. Plaque can enter these areas—or the spaces between your teeth and gums—potentially leading to serious oral health problems if left untreated. If gum disease progresses, it may result in tooth loss and other severe dental complications.
At Dentistry On Derry, our experts guide you through proven treatments to prevent and address gum disease. With our professional care and ongoing supervision, we help restore your gum health and protect your smile for years to come.
Deep Gum Cleaning
Our dental team performs a deep cleaning along the gumline to remove tartar and other buildup that regular brushing can’t reach. While daily brushing and flossing are important, they cannot fully clean below the gumline.
Scaling and root planing helps gums heal by reducing inflammation, preventing further damage, and eliminating sources of bad breath. This treatment is a key step in maintaining healthy gums and protecting your overall oral health.
Advanced Laser Gum Therapy
Laser therapy is a highly effective and minimally painful procedure designed to remove bacteria from beneath your gums. A focused light is directed at the infected area to eliminate harmful build-up and target infection within the gums.
Although this procedure may take a little longer than traditional methods, it offers a long-lasting, one-time solution for treating gum disease and promoting healthier gums.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum disease is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria buildup around the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum inflammation, tooth loss, and damage to the supporting bone. Early treatment helps protect your oral health and preserve your natural smile.
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Mild gum disease may be treated with professional dental cleanings and improved oral hygiene, while more advanced cases may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and ongoing periodontal maintenance to restore gum health.
Most gum disease treatments are performed using gentle techniques and, when necessary, local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional treatment and good oral hygiene habits. More advanced periodontal disease can be managed effectively to prevent further damage, although lost bone and gum tissue may not fully regenerate.
The length of treatment depends on the severity of the infection. A deep cleaning appointment usually takes between 45 and 90 minutes, while advanced cases may require multiple visits and ongoing maintenance appointments.
