Stop bleeding gums, treat infection, and protect your teeth with gentle, effective periodontal care at Eglinton Oak Dental.
✔ Gentle treatment for bleeding or swollen gums
✔ Stops gum disease before it costs you teeth
✔ Personalized care for every stage of gum health
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth, caused by plaque and bacteria building up along the gumline. It often starts quietly as gingivitis—red, swollen, or bleeding gums—and can progress to periodontitis if left untreated.
At Eglinton Oak Dental, we catch gum disease early and treat it at every stage—so you can keep your natural teeth healthy, comfortable, and infection-free.
Beyond your smile, healthy gums matter for your whole body. Untreated gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other health concerns. Treating it early protects both your teeth and your overall well-being.
You may have gum disease if you notice:
Catching these signs early makes treatment simpler and more comfortable. In many cases, prompt care can reverse gum disease before it leads to bone or tooth loss.
Scaling & Root Planing – A deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline
Antibacterial Therapy – Targets infection and helps gums heal
Gum Maintenance Cleanings – Ongoing care to keep gums healthy
Advanced Periodontal Support – Coordinated care for severe cases when needed
Every mouth is different, so we tailor your treatment to the stage of your gum disease. Our goal is always the most conservative, comfortable approach that protects your natural teeth.
Protecting your gums at home is simple:
Consistent home care combined with professional cleanings keeps plaque under control and prevents gum disease from returning or progressing.

A consultation at Eglinton Oak Dental will assess your gum health and recommend the right treatment based on your needs and long-term goals.
Whether your gums bleed occasionally or you’re worried about advanced gum disease, our team at Eglinton Oak Dental in Mississauga is here to help. Many patients keep their gums healthy with regular teeth cleaning, and if gum disease has already caused tooth loss we can restore your smile with dental implants or dentures.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with a professional cleaning and good home care. More advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled to protect your teeth.
Most treatments are gentle and comfortable. We use local anesthetic for deep cleanings so you stay relaxed and pain-free.
Cost depends on the stage of gum disease and the treatment needed. Many treatments are covered by dental insurance—we’ll review everything during your consultation.
Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months, or more often while being treated for gum disease.
