Gum Disease & Bad Breath

Periodontal Treatment & Gum Care in St. Albert, AB

Overview

Healthier Gums,
Healthier You.

Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common — and most underestimated — health conditions affecting adults. At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, our team provides comprehensive gum care tailored to every stage of the disease — from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Left untreated, gum disease can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, destroy bone, and ultimately lead to tooth loss.

What many patients don't realize is that gum disease is also linked to serious systemic health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Treating gum disease isn't just about saving your teeth — it's about protecting your overall health.

At Riverside Landing Dental, we offer comprehensive periodontal care to halt disease progression, restore gum health, and minimize long-term health risks. Our treatments are thorough, comfortable, and tailored to the severity of your condition.

Treatment Approach

Restoring Your Gum Health.

Periodontal treatment is customized to the stage and severity of your gum disease. Here's how we approach your care.

  • 01

    Periodontal Assessment

    We measure the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gums and take X-rays to assess bone levels. This tells us exactly what stage of disease you're at.

  • 02

    Scaling & Root Planing

    For moderate to advanced disease, we perform a deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria, tartar, and diseased tissue from root surfaces.

  • 03

    Antimicrobial Therapy

    In some cases, we apply antimicrobial agents directly to the gum pockets to eliminate remaining bacteria and support healing.

  • 04

    Periodontal Maintenance

    After active treatment, regular periodontal maintenance visits (every 3–4 months) keep the disease under control and protect your long-term results.

FAQ

Common
Questions

Early-stage gingivitis is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. At Riverside Landing Dental, our team catches and treats gum disease at every stage. Advanced periodontitis can be controlled and halted but not fully reversed — which is why early treatment matters.

Our team at Riverside Landing Dental performs treatment under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

Most patients with a history of gum disease benefit from maintenance visits every 3–4 months rather than the standard 6 months.
