Periowave Therapy & Periodontal Disease in Guelph

At Magnolia Dental Guelph, we’re committed to using modern, evidence-based treatments to protect and restore your oral health. One of the innovative therapies we offer for gum disease is Periowave Therapy — a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to eliminate harmful bacteria and promote healthier gums.

What Is Periowave Therapy?

Periowave is a painless, light-based therapy that uses a photosensitizing solution and low-intensity laser light to target and destroy the bacteria responsible for gum disease. Unlike surgical procedures, it’s quick, comfortable, and promotes gum tissue healing and regeneration.

This treatment not only addresses the symptoms of gum disease but also supports long-term gum health by reducing inflammation and encouraging natural tissue repair.

What Causes Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease develops when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline. If left untreated, this can lead to inflammation, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.

Common risk factors include:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Smoking
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Stress or anxiety
  • Hormonal changes (pregnancy, puberty)
  • Genetic predisposition

Symptoms may include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Gum recession
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth or discomfort while chewing
  • Soreness or an unpleasant taste

Benefits of Periowave Therapy

Periowave therapy offers several advantages over traditional gum treatments:

  • Non-invasive: No surgery or anesthesia required
  • Clinically proven: Effectively kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing
  • Comfortable: Painless with little to no downtime
  • Convenient: Typically completed in a single visit
  • Long-term results: Helps prevent future gum disease and supports lasting oral health

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary reason for gum disease, inflammation, or periodontitis is caused by plaque build-up, smoking, and chewing tobacco, and nutritional deficiency. Moreover, hormonal shifts in females increase the risk of gum disease by several folds.

People who are prone to gum disease, need to visit a periodontist. Those who are genetically predisposed to gum disease need regular periodontal cleaning. Regular periodontal cleanings remove heavy deposition like plaque and calculus. This helps with restoring your gum health.

Your dentist will ask you about the signs and symptoms along with your medical history. Our experts will examine whether you have any signs of inflammation or not. By using a periodontal probe, dentists will try to check whether you have pockets or not surrounding your teeth. Moreover, you might be advised to take an X-ray of your teeth. This will help you to understand how much bone has been lost already.

Periowave is a quick and painless treatment that helps treat periodontal disease. This will eliminate harmful bacteria from the deep pocket inside. However, when combined with deep scaling and root planing, Periowave treatment outcomes will improve significantly.
