FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Periodontal treatment addresses gum disease directly, from gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis. Halitosis treatment focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause of chronic bad breath, which is often, but not always, related to gum disease.
Yes, gum disease is one of the most common causes of persistent bad breath, since the same bacteria contributing to gum inflammation also produce odor.
Early stage gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment and home care. More advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled but not fully reversed.
Many dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment, particularly at earlier stages. Coverage for halitosis treatment depends on the underlying cause identified. We direct bill most major Alberta providers and can confirm your specific coverage.
Most patients need maintenance cleanings every three to four months after periodontal treatment, instead of the standard six months, to keep gum disease under control.
