Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth? Are they red, swollen or sensitive? These signs deserve an assessment, even if you are not experiencing any pain.
At Centre Dentaire Fairmount in Montreal, our team examines your gum health and explains the care that may be appropriate for your situation.
Located at 5253 Avenue du Parc in Montreal. Care available in French, English and Spanish.
Gum disease can begin with inflammation around the teeth. Dental plaque builds up daily and, when it is not removed effectively, can contribute to inflammation. Over time, the condition may progress and affect the tissues that support the teeth.
Gingivitis and periodontitis do not always require the same care. A dental examination helps determine what is happening and which approach is appropriate.
Gum problems can develop without noticeable pain. However, certain signs may draw your attention:
These signs can have different causes. If you notice them, book an appointment with our team to have your gums examined rather than waiting for pain to develop.

Symptoms alone cannot tell you which condition you have. A dental examination is needed to make a diagnosis.
Periodontal care in Montreal
During your appointment, the dentist takes the time to understand your symptoms and examine your teeth and gums. Depending on your situation, the assessment may include:
Treatment depends on the diagnosis and the condition of your gums. Gingivitis, periodontitis and gum recession are not managed in the same way. After the assessment, your dentist will explain which care options are appropriate for your situation.
When inflammation is detected early, professional cleaning and personalized oral hygiene advice may be part of your care. Our team will help you understand how to care for your gums at home.
When gum disease affects areas below the gumline, a deeper cleaning may be recommended. Scaling and root planing aim to remove plaque and tartar from the affected surfaces. Treatment may require more than one appointment and, depending on the case, local anaesthesia.
Some situations require additional care or a more specialized assessment. Your dentist will discuss the appropriate options with you, along with the follow-up schedule needed to monitor your gum health.

Bleeding can be a sign of gum inflammation, but it can have different causes. If it happens repeatedly when brushing or cleaning between your teeth, a dental examination can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate care.
Yes. Gum disease can progress without significant pain, especially in its early stages. Repeated bleeding, receding gums or a tooth that feels loose are reasons to have an assessment.
It depends on the diagnosis. A professional cleaning may be appropriate for some early-stage conditions. In other cases, treatment below the gumline and more thorough follow-up may be needed. Your dentist will explain what is recommended after the examination.
This depends on the procedure and your sensitivity. Local anaesthesia may be used for certain deeper treatments. Our team will explain the procedure and the measures planned for your comfort.
