Central Alberta Patients: Stop Bleeding Gums Before It Gets Worse
Protect your smile—and your overall health—with gentle gum care close to home.
Bleeding gums might seem like “no big deal,” but they’re actually your body’s way of waving a red flag. Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is more common than people think—and it can sneak up on anyone.
At Bentley Family Dentistry, we help patients from Bentley, Sylvan Lake, Rimbey, Lacombe, Eckville, and surrounding communities catch gum problems early and treat them gently. Because in a small town, prevention is everything—and so is your health.
What Is Gum Disease?
It starts small—but can lead to bigger problems.
Gum disease happens when plaque and bacteria build up along your gumline. At first, you might only notice a bit of redness, tenderness, or bleeding when brushing or flossing. That’s called gingivitis, and it’s your early warning sign.
If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease, where the gums pull away from the teeth, bone can be lost, and teeth can eventually become loose or even fall out. It’s one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss—but the good news is, with early care, it’s preventable.
