Periodontal Treatment
in Fort Mcmurray

Periodontal disease creeps up on you without your knowledge because it is void of pain. This disease progressively attacks your gums as well as the supporting bone of your teeth. Plaque toxins attack your soft gum tissue resulting in irritation and inflammation between your gums and teeth. If periodontal disease is left untreated it can break down your jawbone creating unstable, loose teeth or entire tooth loss.

● Bleeding gums
● Bad breath
● Loose or shifted teeth
● Sensitive, red or swollen gums

● Organic changes such as pregnancy or puberty
● Medical conditions like diabetes
● Low or disregarded dental hygiene
● Negative functional habits such as grinding teeth
● Saliva flow inhibitors like dry mouth syndrome, also known as xerostomia

Curettage is the removal of soft tissue lining around your tooth. It is used as a treatment option along with root planing, the smoothing and removal of micro-amounts of root surface. 

This treatment leaves a clean, un-infected area to be present for healing the lining of soft tissue. Other treatment options for periodontal disease are available.

After your treatment, we recommend you take Ibuprofen before the anesthetic, we may have used, completely wears off. This will help to lessen the swelling and pain. Your teeth may become more sensitive after a procedure like this so by using a sensitivity toothpaste or fluoride rinse some of this sensitivity will be alleviated. Remember to eat nutritious soft foods for at least 2 days after your treatment.
