Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, beautiful smile.
At Didsbury Dental Centre, our periodontic services focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to protect your oral and overall health. Our experienced team uses modern technology and gentle techniques to restore gum health and preserve your natural teeth for years to come in Didsbury, AB.
How Gum Health Affects Whole-Body Wellness
Your gums play a vital role in your overall well-being. When gum tissue becomes inflamed or infected, bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect other parts of the body. Studies have linked gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.
Maintaining healthy gums supports not just your smile, but your entire body’s health. Through early intervention and proper care, we help you reduce risks and protect your long-term wellness.
Early Signs & Progression Of Gum Disease
Gum disease often begins quietly, showing subtle signs such as bleeding while brushing, persistent bad breath, or gum tenderness. Without treatment, it can progress to advanced stages, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Regular check-ups at Didsbury Dental Centre allow us to detect gum disease early when it is most treatable. Our team provides personalized care to stop progression and restore gum health.
Why Treating Gum Inflammation Prevents Tooth Loss
Inflammation caused by plaque bacteria weakens the tissue and bone that support your teeth. Over time, untreated gum disease can lead to tooth mobility or loss. Treating inflammation promptly not only preserves your teeth but also strengthens your overall oral foundation.
Our periodontal treatments focus on reducing bacteria, promoting healing, and preventing further damage, ensuring your smile stays strong for life.
Periodontal Therapy
Non-surgical periodontal therapy includes deep cleanings such as scaling and root planing, designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. These treatments smooth root surfaces, allowing gums to reattach to the teeth and heal naturally.
We also offer maintenance programs to keep your gums healthy after treatment. Regular visits allow us to monitor healing and prevent reinfection.
Periodontal Surgery
For advanced cases, surgical intervention may be needed to restore gum and bone support. Our periodontal surgeries are performed with precision and care to eliminate deep pockets, reshape gum tissue, and regenerate lost bone when possible. Our goal is always to preserve natural teeth and promote long-term stability.
Importance Of Maintenance After Treatment
After successful periodontal therapy or surgery, maintenance is key. Periodontal disease can return if bacteria are not regularly removed. We recommend more frequent cleanings and consistent home care to protect your results.
Our team provides guidance on brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene techniques that promote healing and maintain gum health for the long term.
