Gum Disease Treatments Based Around Keeping Your Teeth And Supporting Structures Healthy!
When examining your teeth, your dentist will keep an eye out for evidence of a range of gum and tooth issues that can threaten not only your oral health but the health of the surrounding gums and bones and general health as well. Gum and bone disease causes more issues than bad breath, swollen and inflamed gums, bleeding when brushing or flossing, loose teeth, and potential bone and tooth loss. Contact us today to learn more!
Our Periodontics Dental Ottawa Services Are Based Around Keeping Your Teeth And Support Structures Healthy.
When examining your teeth, your dentist will keep an eye out for evidence of a range of gum and tooth issues that can threaten not only your oral health but the health of the surrounding gums and bones and general health as well. Gum and bone disease causes more issues than bad breath, swollen and inflamed gums, bleeding when brushing or flossing, loose teeth, and potential bone and tooth loss.
There Is Also Evidence That Links Gum And Bone Disease With More Serious Health Conditions, Such As:
Heart disease
Some studies have found that people with periodontal disease have 1.5 – 4 times greater risk of suffering from heart disease.
Periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk for strokes and coronary artery disease. When bacteria resulting from periodontal disease is released into the bloodstream, it causes the liver to produce C-reactive proteins (CRP). Elevated CRP levels are a strong predictor of heart disease and stroke because they promote inflammation of the arteries and the formation of blood clots.
Stroke
Diabetes Dentist
Diabetes and periodontal disease create a vicious cycle of complications. Poorly controlled diabetes with elevated blood sugar levels can make plaque and gum disease more difficult to control. In turn, periodontal disease can make controlling blood sugar levels more challenging. It is essential for diabetic patients to maintain their oral health with careful at-home care as well as professional care from a qualified dentist.
Studies have indicated that the bacteria that is present in periodontal disease can cause preterm or low birth weight babies. Researchers believe that the bacteria in gum disease may cause an inflammation of the cervix and uterus that causes premature dilation and contractions. If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it’s a good idea to schedule a periodontal checkup. Many periodontal therapies are safe for pregnant women. Ask your dentist if you have concerns.
Preterm and low birth weight babies
Alzheimer’s Disease
The chronic inflammation of gum disease may be a factor for an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. While Alzheimer’s disease has a strong genetic component, studies of twins where one twin had the disease and the other did not point to periodontal disease in the affected twin as one possible triggering factor.
A recent study by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that periodontal disease can increase your risk of this deadly form of cancer. As with heart disease and stroke, the risk comes from C-reactive proteins in the bloodstream. These cause an inflammatory response that may contribute to the production of cancer cells.

That was the day I spoke with Lynn about a very upsetting experience I had at a different dental clinic. I was discouraged, embarrassed, and honestly afraid to try again. I wasn’t just looking for a new dentist — I was looking for a place that would make me feel safe.
Lynn listened to me with patience and compassion. She didn’t rush me. She didn’t minimize what I felt. She treated my story with care.
We had to wait until February 15 for my government dental benefits to become active, and that’s why my first appointment was scheduled for February 20, 2026. During that waiting period, I carried a mix of anxiety and hope. But when I finally walked into Trillium Dental at Westgate Mall on February 20, I immediately felt something different.
Lynn remembered me. She remembered our conversation. I wasn’t just another name on a schedule. That alone meant more than she probably realizes. By the time I left that day, it didn’t feel like I had just met a staff member — it felt like I had connected with someone who genuinely cared. Somehow, so naturally, we became friendly in the most comforting way.
She made sure I was placed with Dr. Nair — and that decision changed everything for me.
Dr. Nair is one of the most compassionate and gentle healthcare professionals I have ever encountered. She listened to my worries without interrupting. She did not criticize my mouth or make me feel ashamed for staying away from dental care for years. Instead, she focused on what could be done moving forward. We completed the necessary exams and tests, and for the first time in a long time, I felt calm sitting in a dental chair.
And Rawan, the R.D.H., deserves just as much recognition. As someone who hadn’t seen a hygienist in years, I felt self-conscious and nervous. But Rawan treated me with patience, respect, and warmth. She was gentle and reassuring. She made something I feared feel manageable. That kind of care isn’t just technical skill — it’s heart.
I returned again on Friday, February 27 for further treatment, and the kindness was consistent. It wasn’t just a good first impression. It was genuine compassion.
What truly touched me was their understanding of my life circumstances. I am currently job searching and rebuilding stability. Financially, things are tight. Instead of making me feel small about that, they helped me sign up for the government dental insurance program and reassured me that my health still matters — even during difficult seasons.
Trillium Dental didn’t just treat my teeth. They restored my trust in healthcare. They reminded me that compassion still exists in medical spaces.
To Lynn, Dr. Nair, Rawan, and the entire team — thank you. You may do this every day, but for me, this experience was healing.
If you have been scared to go back to the dentist, if you feel embarrassed, or if life has simply made things difficult — this is the place that will meet you with dignity and humanity.
Forever grateful. 💙
