Protecting your smile and your overall health.
Periodontal (gum) disease affects millions of people, but many do not know how dangerous it can be to their health if they do not get it handled properly. We at Edmonton West Dental know how important it is to have good gums. Our NW Edmonton dentists offer a range of periodontal treatments to make your teeth and gums healthier and lower your risk of health problems linked to gum disease.

An infection of the tissues supporting your teeth is known as periodontal disease. Gum irritation (gingivitis) is the first stage, and if treatment is not received, it can develop into periodontitis, which causes significant harm to the bone and gums supporting your teeth.
Understanding the Stages of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis: Early stage with red, swollen gums that bleed easily.
- Periodontitis: Advanced stage with gum recession, bone loss, and potential tooth loss.
Why is Periodontal Treatment Important?
Periodontal disease can lead to:
- Tooth loss: The infection can destroy the supporting structures of your teeth.
- Health problems: Gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other health issues.
- Cosmetic concerns: Gum recession can affect the appearance of your smile.
