Treatments in Calgary for Periodontal Health

Live a longer, healthier life by maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Teeth are built to last a lifetime, and our goal is to ensure they function properly for your whole life. A lack of gum health and treatment can lead to gum recession and even tooth loss. It can also lead to other problems throughout your body, as bacteria from your mouth enter your bloodstream. At Kensington Dental Care in Calgary, periodontal health is one of our biggest concerns. Attaining and maintaining healthy bone and gum support for your teeth is our number one goal, and it’s the basis for success in each of our dental treatments.

About Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is caused when the bacteria in plaque builds up between your gums and teeth. When the bacteria grow, they can destroy the attachment fibres and the supporting bone that holds your teeth in your mouth. Your gums can also become inflamed. Periodontal disease is the number one cause of tooth loss over the age of 30. However, it is totally preventable with regular care. Gum infections can be completely asymptomatic, so we schedule every patient for a comprehensive periodontal exam each year.
