What Is Periodontal Gum Care

Periodontal gum care covers the specialized treatments and preventive strategies that keep the gums and the supporting bone structure of your teeth healthy. Left unaddressed, gum disease can quietly damage these vital tissues. Our approach is designed to catch problems early and guide you back toward a healthier mouth and a more confident smile.

Signs You May Need This Care

  • Gums that are red, swollen, or tender to the touch
  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath that does not improve
  • Gums that appear to be pulling away from your teeth
  • Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite

What Is Included

  • A thorough evaluation of your gum health
  • Diagnosis of the stage and severity of any gum disease present
  • A personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs
  • Guidance on at home habits to protect your gums between visits
  • Ongoing monitoring to track your progress over time

Why Choose Calgary South Dental for This

Our dentists and hygienists bring real experience and a genuine commitment to helping you achieve optimal gum health. Dr. Deb Crowfoot and Dr. Kevin Kalin lead a team that takes the time to understand your concerns and build a periodontal care plan specific to your needs, delivered with modern technology and a comfortable, welcoming approach.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your visit starts with a careful assessment of your gum health, including checking for inflammation, bleeding, and any pocketing around the teeth. From there, we walk you through what we found and what treatment, if any, is recommended. Many patients see noticeable improvement in gum comfort and appearance once treatment begins.

Related Treatments

If your evaluation shows more advanced gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing, a deeper cleaning treatment that targets buildup below the gumline. Chronic bad breath linked to gum health can also be addressed through our halitosis treatment.

Cost of Periodontal Gum Care

The cost of periodontal gum care depends on the stage of gum disease and the treatment required. Many insurance plans provide some coverage for periodontal treatment. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your situation.
