Periodontal & Gum Care in Vancouver
Bleeding gums, deepening pockets and calculus below the gumline need measurement and management, not guesswork. At Airwave Dental Hygiene on West Broadway in Vancouver, periodontal care begins with a structured assessment and continues with maintenance planned around your individual findings.
How Periodontal Care Works
Measured, Then Managed
Step 01
Periodontal assessment
Pocket depths, bleeding points, recession and mobility are recorded so your gum health can be measured rather than estimated.
Step 02
Understanding plaque and calculus
Soft biofilm hardens into calculus that brushing cannot remove. Calculus holds biofilm against the tissue and sustains inflammation.
Step 03
Periodontal pockets
As inflammation persists, the space between tooth and gum deepens. Deeper pockets are harder to clean at home and need professional management.
Step 04
Professional cleaning
AIRFLOW® clears biofilm and stain, PERIOFLOW® manages subgingival biofilm in pockets and around implants, and PIEZON® removes remaining hard deposits.
Step 05
Individualized treatment planning
Extent of treatment, number of appointments and technique are matched to your findings, medical history and comfort.
Step 06
Maintenance
Stabilized periodontal conditions require ongoing maintenance at an interval set by your risk, not by a standard schedule.
When to Book an Assessment
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss, for more than two weeks
- Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste
- Gums that look receded, tender or swollen
- Teeth that feel loose or have shifted position
- A previous diagnosis of gum disease and no recent maintenance visit
Findings requiring diagnosis or treatment by a dentist or periodontist are explained and referred appropriately.
