Signs You May Need Gum Care

Why Treating Gum Disease Early Matters
Gum disease often develops without pain. Early gingivitis can be reversed with professional care and good home hygiene. If it advances to periodontitis, the damage to bone and tissue is permanent, but treatment and regular maintenance can control it. Research has also linked gum disease to wider health conditions, so caring for your gums supports your overall health.
Who This Is For
Anyone with bleeding gums, ongoing bad breath or a history of gum problems. Adults who have never had gum treatment, patients who need deeper cleanings and people who want a dentist in Brampton who will explain their options clearly are all welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of gum disease?
Bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth and pain when chewing are common signs. Many people have no pain early on, so regular exams matter.
Can gum disease cause bad breath?
Yes. Bacteria in the pockets between teeth and gums produce odours that brushing and mouthwash cannot fully remove.
How does Dr. Khattra treat gum disease?
Treatment may include a professional cleaning, scaling and root planing, antimicrobial therapy and, in some cases, gum grafting. Your dentist recommends an approach based on your condition.
Is gum disease treatment covered by insurance?
Many plans cover some or all of the cost. Our team can review your benefits, including NIHB and CDCP, and explain your costs first.
Do you treat persistent bad breath?
Yes. We assess the cause as part of your dental visit at no extra fee and then treat it, whether it comes from gum disease, tongue bacteria, dry mouth or other causes.
