Periodontal Treatment (Gum Care)
When there is an accumulation of plaque on your teeth (due to the buildup of bacteria in your oral tissues), it can result in certain gum diseases such as periodontitis. In severe cases, when the plaque hardens into tartar, you’ll need to get it professionally cleaned at your Airdrie dentist. Gingivitis (which causes your gums to inflame and bleed) is a mild form of gum disease. However, if you don’t get immediate treatment, it can develop into periodontitis. Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease, where the inner layer of the gum and bone pull away from the teeth and form pockets. Sounds painful, right?
