Care of your gums

The need for regular dental hygiene
visits is on equal terms with regular dental visits

The gums are the external fabric, which covers the bone which holds the teeth in place. If the guns become infected, there is a high chance that the underlying bone will be affected, dissolving down. If enough bone dissolves down, the teeth become loose. If the infection becomes stabilized, then bony destruction stops.

Gum disease is the biggest single cause of adult tooth loss and a problem that we take very seriously. Our hygienists are trained in the latest treatments to keep your mouth infection-free. They are skilled professionals who have a key role to play in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. They are not just there to clean teeth but they have a very important part to play in preventing tooth decay by providing education, treatment and care. They will also advise you on the comprehensive range of dental products and their usage.
