Evidence-based periodontal therapy that stops gum disease progression and saves your natural teeth.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the most common dental conditions affecting Canadian adults, yet it's largely preventable and treatable when caught early. It begins as gingivitis — redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums — and can progress to periodontitis, causing bone loss and eventual tooth loss if left untreated.

At Woodbend Dental, we treat gum disease at every stage using evidence-based protocols tailored to the severity of your condition. Early cases often respond fully to professional deep cleaning and improved home care. More advanced cases may require medicated therapy, or in some cases, referral for surgical management.

Early treatment is always the best approach. When gum disease is identified and treated promptly, tooth loss is entirely preventable in most cases — and the underlying infection can be eliminated for good.
