Preserve Your Smile with Gum Disease Care
Save Your Smile
Every smile needs healthy gums. While we often focus on the appearance of our teeth, the health of our gums is equally important. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other oral health complications.
At Sidcup Dental Spa, our periodontal specialists offer comprehensive gum disease treatment and prevention. We understand the importance of maintaining healthy gums for a beautiful and functional smile.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is a common condition caused by a buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. When plaque is not removed through regular brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which irritates the gums and leads to Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease.
If left untreated, Gingivitis can progress to Periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that destroys the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Symptoms of Periodontitis include bad breath, swollen gums, loose teeth, and pain when chewing.
Our Periodontal Services
Our periodontal treatment focuses on diagnosing and treating gum disease at various stages. We offer a range of services, including:
- Periodontal examinations: We carefully assess the health of your gums and identify any signs of gum disease.
- Non-surgical treatments: For early-stage gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing to remove tartar and plaque buildup.
- Surgical treatments: In advanced cases of Periodontitis, surgical procedures may be necessary to restore gum health.
Preventing Gum Disease
Preventing gum disease is crucial for maintaining oral health. We recommend the following tips:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
- Use mouthwash to help kill bacteria.
- Schedule regular dental checkups and hygienist cleanings.
