What Is Gum Disease?

Backgroung image 3
Gum disease is an infection and inflammatory condition involving the tissues around your teeth. Plaque collects along the gumline. When plaque remains in place, it hardens into tartar and irritates the gums.
Gum disease has two main stages.
  • Gingivitis: The early stage. Your gums look red or swollen and bleed when you brush or floss. Professional cleaning and consistent home care often restore gum health at this stage.
  • Periodontitis: Periodontitis develops when infection moves below the gumline. Spaces called periodontal pockets form around the teeth. These pockets hold bacteria and tartar. Over time, the infection damages the ligaments and bone supporting your teeth.
Without treatment, periodontitis increases the risk of gum recession, loose teeth, chewing discomfort, and tooth loss.

What Are the Signs of Gum Disease?

Backgroung image 3
Gum disease often develops with little pain during its early stage. Regular dental exams remain important even when your mouth feels normal.
Book an assessment if you notice:
  • Bleeding while brushing or flossing.
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums.
  • Gums pulling away from your teeth.
  • Teeth looking longer than before.
  • Ongoing bad breath or a bad taste.
  • Pus near the gumline.
  • New spaces between teeth.
  • Loose or shifting teeth.
  • Pain or pressure while chewing.
  • Sensitivity near exposed tooth roots.
  • Changes in how your teeth meet when you bite.
Bleeding gums are not a normal result of brushing. A dental assessment can identify the cause and help prevent further damage.

What Causes Gum Disease and How Is It Diagnosed?

Backgroung image 3
Plaque buildup is the main cause of gum disease. Several health and lifestyle factors increase your risk or affect healing.
Risk factors include:
  • Inconsistent brushing and flossing.
  • Tartar below the gumline.
  • Smoking or other tobacco use.
  • Diabetes, especially with poor blood sugar control.
  • Dry mouth.
  • Certain medicines.
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy.
  • Crowded teeth or areas with difficult access.
  • Broken fillings or dental work with rough edges.
  • Family history of periodontal problems.
  • Stress and reduced immune response.
Tell your dentist about your health history, medicines, tobacco use, and pregnancy. This information supports safer treatment planning.
Your Calgary gum assessment often includes:
  • Checking gum colour, swelling, bleeding, and recession.
  • Measuring the spaces between your gums and teeth.
  • Looking for plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.
  • Checking tooth movement and bite changes.
  • Reviewing areas with pus, tenderness, or sensitivity.
  • Taking dental X-rays when needed to assess supporting bone.
  • Recording gum measurements for future comparison.

Your results help classify the condition, estimate tissue damage, and guide treatment. You receive a clear explanation before care begins.

Gum Disease Treatment Calgary Options at Prograce Dentistry

Backgroung image 3

Your treatment plan depends on the stage of disease, pocket depth, bone levels, symptoms, health history, and response to earlier care.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and near the gumline. This option suits gingivitis and early inflammation without deeper tissue damage.

Your dental hygienist also reviews brushing and flossing techniques. Small changes in your daily routine can lead to better results.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning for periodontitis. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Root planing smooths the root surfaces and reduces areas where bacteria collect.

Local freezing supports comfort during treatment. Some patients need more than one visit when several areas require care.

Periodontal Maintenance

Gum disease needs ongoing monitoring after active treatment. Periodontal maintenance visits focus on deeper cleaning, gum measurements, bleeding points, plaque control, and changes in bone support.

Your recall schedule depends on your disease level and risk factors. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of renewed infection.

Medication Support

Your dentist might recommend a local antimicrobial product or another prescribed medicine for selected sites. Medication supports mechanical cleaning. It does not replace plaque and tartar removal.

Care for Gum Recession

Receding gums expose tooth roots and increase sensitivity. Your plan might include desensitizing products, changes in brushing pressure, restorative care, or referral for gum grafting.

Referral for Advanced Periodontal Care

Advanced bone loss, deep pockets, complex recession, or poor response to non-surgical care sometimes requires specialist treatment. Our team explains the reason for referral and coordinates your records with the periodontal office.

How Do You Protect Your Gum Health After Treatment?

Backgroung image 3
Professional care works best with daily plaque control. Follow these steps:
  • Brush twice each day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Use a soft toothbrush and gentle pressure.
  • Clean between your teeth once each day.
  • Use floss, interdental brushes, or another recommended tool.
  • Clean along the gumline with slow, controlled movements.
  • Avoid smoking and tobacco use.
  • Follow your diabetes care plan.
  • Attend every maintenance visit.
  • Report new bleeding, swelling, recession, or tooth movement.
Do not stop brushing an area because it bleeds. Use gentle pressure and arrange a dental visit if bleeding continues.
Timely treatment helps reduce bleeding and swelling, control infection, protect supporting bone, improve chewing comfort, and lower the risk of loose teeth. Existing bone loss does not return through routine deep cleaning, so early assessment remains important.

FAQs

Backgroung image 3

Gingivitis often improves with professional cleaning and consistent brushing and interdental cleaning. Periodontitis involves permanent loss of supporting tissue or bone. Treatment controls infection and protects the support still present.

Local freezing supports comfort during scaling and root planing. Mild tenderness or sensitivity sometimes follows treatment. Your dental team provides aftercare instructions and options for managing discomfort.

Treatment length depends on disease severity and the number of affected areas. Early gingivitis often needs professional cleaning and improved home care. Periodontitis often needs several visits plus ongoing maintenance.

Bleeding often reduces as inflammation improves and plaque levels fall. Continued bleeding needs reassessment, especially when swelling, bad breath, recession, or loose teeth remain present.

Coverage differs by plan. Some plans include periodontal exams, scaling, root planing, and maintenance within set limits. Prograce Dentistry offers direct billing and reviews available coverage before treatment.

Gum disease might become active again when plaque builds up or maintenance stops. Daily home care, tobacco avoidance, diabetes management, and scheduled periodontal visits help keep the condition controlled.
