Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Smiles By Bis in Oakville, we help patients monitor and manage gum health through exams, cleanings, education, and personalized periodontal care.
Gum inflammation and periodontal disease can develop gradually, often without obvious pain in the early stages. Regular dental visits help identify concerns early and support long-term oral health.
Signs of Gum Problems
You may benefit from a gum health assessment if you notice:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red or swollen gums
- Gum recession
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
- Sensitivity near the gumline
- Changes in how your teeth fit together
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that can affect the tissues and bone supporting the teeth. If signs of periodontitis are present, our team will explain the findings and recommend the appropriate next steps.
Supporting Long-Term Oral Health
Gum health care may include more frequent cleanings, deeper cleaning appointments, home-care guidance, and ongoing monitoring. When needed, referral to a periodontal specialist may be recommended.
