What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common dental problem that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. It can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. The good news is that gum disease is preventable and treatable with proper dental care.
The Role of a Dental Hygienist
Our hygienists are specifically trained in preventing and treating gum disease. They can provide you with essential services, including:
-
Professional Scale and Polish
A thorough cleaning of your teeth to remove plaque and tartar, which are the primary culprits in gum disease development.
-
Oral Health Assessment
Our hygienist will assess the health of your gums, identify any signs of gum disease, and provide recommendations for improvement.
-
Personalised Advice
You’ll receive tailored advice on maintaining healthy gums and improving your oral hygiene routine at home.
Easy Access to Dental Hygiene
We want to make dental hygiene accessible to everyone. You can book a scale and polish appointment with our hygienist directly, even if you’re registered with another dentist. This means you can benefit from the expertise of our hygienist without changing your primary dental provider.
By prioritising your gum health and taking advantage of our dental hygiene services, you can prevent gum disease and enjoy a brighter, healthier smile.
