Periodontists in Port Moody

In dentistry, periodontics is a recognized specialty focused on the soft tissues of the mouth, including the gums. Caring for the supporting structures around your teeth is essential to maintaining excellent oral health. Our dental professionals provide periodontic examinations and treatments at our dental clinic in Suter Brook Village.

Periodontic Diagnosis & Treatment

Gum disease is one of the most commonly diagnosed periodontal diseases. Gum disease is a general category of diseases that includes thrush, periodontitis, and gingivitis. Severe gum disease can lead to additional oral health concerns, including infections and tooth loss.

Periodontal diseases are also linked to more general health concerns. They may contribute to conditions such as heart attack, dementia, and diabetes.

Typical symptoms of gum disease include: 

  • Bright red or discoloured gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Swollen gums
  • Tender gums
  • Bleeding gums
  • White spots on the gums

Periodontal Procedures

The dentists at Suter Brook Dental Group use a wide range of tools and techniques to treat periodontal diseases and abnormalities, including surgical and non-surgical procedures. These include: 

  • Scaling and root planning 
  • Gum graft surgery
  • Dental implant placement
  • Dental crown lengthening

Preventing Periodontal Disease

Following a consistent oral hygiene routine at home can help reduce the risk of periodontal disease. Be sure to brush daily with fluoride toothpaste, gently brushing the surface of the gums and following with an antimicrobial mouthwash. Daily flossing also contributes to healthier gums.
