Calgary Dental Solutions by Br. Thayne Blunston
Periodontal Therapy:
To have a smile of lasting beauty, you must have healthy gums! We place a high priority on periodontal (gum) care, because as serious as it is, it can be difficult to detect.
Many people have periodontal disease and don’t even realize it. Over 85% of the population has some level of periodontal disease, due to the problem being misdiagnosed or ignored. Even worse, more people experience tooth loss from periodontal disease than cavities.
There are often no symptoms of periodontal disease. Gums can recede, leaving teeth vulnerable to decay, abscesses and loss – without bleeding or tenderness. Minor symptoms include:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Puffiness or tenderness of the gums
- Halitosis or bad breath
- Loose feeling teeth
If not treated:
- Affects the weight of unborn children
- Contributes to heart disease and stroke
- Limits the effectiveness of insulin for diabetics
- Osteoporosis
- Diabetes
- Bacterial respiratory infections
Our hygienists have received advanced training in the diagnoses and treatment of periodontal disease, and offer advanced non-surgical periodontal therapy to restore gums to health.
