Do you need treatment for gum disease? Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a bacterial infection that can cause swollen, irritated, and even receding gums. These painful symptoms can impact the function of a patient’s smile. Dr. Shruti Chahal treats gum disease in Calgary, AB. Using the latest dental techniques, Dr. Shruti Chahal can reverse the effects of gum disease and restore the health of the teeth and gums.
Gums provide a stable foundation for the teeth. If you have gum problems, they will also affect the health of your teeth. Gum recession can even loosen the teeth and lead to tooth loss.
There are also several studies that have connected severe gum disease with increased heart problems. The bacteria that irritate the gums can enter the bloodstream and impact heart health. By targeting symptoms of gum disease, like red and bleeding gums, gum recession, and shifting teeth, we can stop these problems from progressing.
