Bleeding gums after brushing or a bit of tenderness during flossing rarely feels urgent, which is exactly why gum disease tends to progress so quietly for so long before anyone actually addresses it. According to the Canadian Dental Association, it's the leading cause of tooth loss among adults once it goes untreated, which is why Dr. Mauricio Galvis takes early gum disease treatment seriously rather than waiting for symptoms to become obvious. When early signs show up during a routine exam, he recommends a full periodontal screening, a straightforward, relatively painless process that involves measuring six points around each tooth to check for gum recession, bone loss, and pocket depth between the tooth and gum line. That precise diagnosis shapes the treatment plan that follows, most commonly periodontal debridement, also known as deep cleaning, which combines scaling to remove plaque and tartar beneath the gumline with root planing to smooth root surfaces and stop bacteria from reattaching. In more advanced cases, a referral to a periodontist may be part of the plan. Since risk factors like smoking, poor oral hygiene, and even genetics all play a role, the team also spends time explaining what's actually driving the problem, so patients leave with a clearer sense of how to protect their gums going forward, not just a cleaning and a follow-up appointment.
