Periodontal Disease Treatment in Orléans
Gentle, Personalized Gum Care to Restore and Protect Your Smile
At Orleans Dental Centre, we believe treating periodontal (gum) disease is not just about stopping symptoms it’s about helping you regain confidence, comfort, and long-term health. If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, we’re here with effective, compassionate treatments tailored to your needs.
Our goal is to stop the progression of the disease, restore your gum health, and help you maintain strong, healthy teeth for years to come.
How We Treat Gum Disease
Your treatment plan will depend on how advanced the disease is. Early-stage gingivitis may be reversed with improved home care and a professional cleaning, while more advanced cases may require deeper intervention.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach. It’s often the first step in managing mild to moderate periodontitis.

Antibacterial Therapy
In some cases, we may use medicated mouth rinses or local antibiotics to target infection and reduce inflammation.
Periodontal Maintenance Visits
Once your condition is under control, we may recommend cleanings every 3–4 months to maintain your progress and prevent relapse. These visits are key for managing chronic periodontal disease long-term.
How You Can Support Healing at Home
Your daily oral hygiene routine plays a big role in recovery. We’ll guide you on proper brushing and flossing techniques, and may suggest additional tools like:
- Water flossers
- Antimicrobial mouthwash
- Soft-bristled toothbrushes
Review our Home Care and brushing & flossing guide for expert tips.
