| Hygiene and Gums |
|
As we are a prevention oriented dental practice, our aim if for you to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (gingivitis and periodontal disease) are caused by bacteria that live in the plaque that forms around the teeth and gums. Research has shown that there are links between oral health and systemic disease including stroke, heart disease, diabetes and delivery of low weight, preterm babies. So looking after your teeth and gums not only helps you keep your teeth but may ensure that you live a longer, healthier life!!!
Dentists used to everything but we now have hygienists who are specially trained in oral hygiene including:
Where periodontal disease has progressed beyond management by conservative means, referral to a periodontist is essential. |
