Common Gum Concerns and Treatment in Edmonton
Bleeding Gums and Gum Disease
Bleeding gums are the first sign of gingivitis, which is reversible. Left alone, it becomes periodontitis, which destroys the bone around teeth and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. A periodontal assessment tells you which stage you are at, and treatment ranges from a thorough cleaning to scaling and root planing.

Gum assessments are covered by most insurance plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
Common Tooth Concerns and Dental Hygiene Care in Edmonton
Sensitivity, Tartar and Stains
Sensitive teeth usually mean exposed root surface and are treated in one visit with desensitizing varnish. Tartar is hardened plaque that only professional scaling removes. Stains are either on the surface, which polishing lifts, or inside the enamel, which whitening lightens.
Each page explains how to tell which one you have.
Bad Breath and Dry Mouth Concerns in Edmonton
Bad breath and dry mouth are connected. Less saliva means more bacteria, more odour and faster decay. Both are common with medications and age, and both respond to:
- Treating the gums and cleaning the tongue
- Hydration, xylitol and saliva substitutes
- Fluoride and more frequent cleanings
