Welcome to Luna Dentistry, your dedicated partner in preserving gum health through quality periodontal care with your Richmond Hill Periodontist. Our periodontal services are designed to address gum disease, also known as periodontitis, offering comprehensive solutions to protect your gums, bone, and overall oral structures.

Understanding gum disease

Gum disease, or Periodontitis, is a bacterial infection triggered by the accumulation of plaque and tartar, resulting in damage to the gums, bone, and supporting structures around your teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups are essential steps to prevent and manage periodontitis.

The initial stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, manifests as inflammation of the gums, minor bleeding during oral care, mild pain, and occasional bad breath. Gingivitis is typically caused by bacteria infiltrating below the gum line but can be effectively controlled with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
