Gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum disease can seem very scary and daunting to take care of. At West Grande Prairie Dental, we provide you with all the necessary information, treatment, and plans to counteract the problems brought on by gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum disease. You should visit West Grande Prairie Dental if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Gingivitis
- Periodontitis
- Gum disease
- Oral discomfort
- Tooth loss
- Gum recession
- Bad breath
- Pain
- Bleeding when brushing
- Bleeding gums
- Abscesses
- Swelling
Gingivitis is a stepping stone for periodontitis (a buildup of plaque and bacteria which causes disease and serious infection), so it is important to catch it early so treatment can stop it from getting worse.
What Causes Gingivitis, Gum Disease, and Periodontal Disease?
A buildup of plaque and bacteria causes bleeding gums and periodontal disease, which creates an infection in the gums. If it goes untreated, it will accelerate and cause gingivitis, leading to a far more severe form called periodontitis. Our team at West Grande Prairie Dental can help you heal from and prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Why Do I Have Such Bad Breath?
Bad breath, also known as chronic halitosis, is a common symptom of gingivitis or periodontal disease. The buildup of bacteria causes bad breath. This plaque will release toxins resulting in bad breath even after brushing and flossing your teeth. If it gets to the point where people have pointed it out to you, then it is essential to come to West Grande Prairie Dental and assess if you have gum disease.
It can be embarrassing to admit to yourself that you have chronic bad breath. You can feel comfortable and rest assured that at West Grande Prairie Dental, our team is judgment free. The only way to solve the gingivitis and bleeding gums is to get it looked at and start on the road to recovery sooner rather than later when it has progressed to periodontitis.
What Are the Risks and Dangers of Not Treating My Gingivitis and Gum Disease?
You could lose all your teeth! In addition to having bad breath, pain, and loss of teeth, you could experience more severe health problems. At West Grande Prairie Dental, we strive to educate and prevent gum disease. When these diseases go untreated, they can actually affect the rest of your body, and the bacteria will enter your bloodstream.
Untreated gingivitis and gum disease has been linked to
- Heart disease.
- Stroke.
- High blood pressure.
- Tooth loss.
- Alzhiemers
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the country! You should immediately seek gum disease treatment at West Grande Prairie Dental if you suspect you may have it, not only for your comfort and risk of losing your teeth, but also for your overall health.

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) and Laser Bacterial Reduction
(LBR)
West Grande Prairie Dental can significantly enhance your dental hygiene experience with the use of Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) and/or Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR). LAPT and LBR keep bacteria away for up to 6 weeks so your tissues and gums can heal. The West Grande Prairie Dental Hygiene Team uses ultrasonic or piezo to debride the teeth from all calculus.
Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) is then used to remove bacteria from the inside of the pocket on the gums so you have an ultra-clean gum surface touching a clean tooth surface. This aids in healing. Our team then performs a bio-stimulation procedure, which helps stimulate bone growth and shrink pocket depths. Pretty amazing stuff, actually.
With our advanced modern technology, you will have far better results with even less time in the dental chair.

At-Home Gum Care
West Grande Prairie Dental encourages and educates you to ensure success in keeping your smile and gums healthy at home! A typical response to gum disease might be to brush your teeth or gums harder because that is where the infection is, but that is actually the opposite of what should be done. Gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum disease cause gum recession, leading to more bacteria growth.
Instead, you should focus on brushing just the teeth in a mild manner and regularly floss and use mouthwash to clean the gums. Our dental team will provide you with an at-home dental plan designed for your exact needs to treat your gingivitis and gum disease.
