Gum Disease
Gum disease affects the gums and bone surrounding the teeth, most people are often unaware of this problem as gum disease rarely hurts or leaves discomfort. During the advanced stages of the disease you will start to feel pain and it can also lead to abscesses and loose teeth. The buildup of plaque on teeth is the first cause of gum disease and its accumulation is also very common.
Periodontal disease affects the teeth as well as the surrounding gum and bone, most people who have periodontal disease aren’t aware of it. It’s often not painful, especially in the early stages, however bleeding is a sign of infection. Gum disease can be detected through measurements with gum health probes, at The Tooth Spa we recommend that you see us for regularly hygienist check ups, usually within 6 months.
Gum disease tends to be related to meticulous cleaning, a qualified oral hygienist will be able to go through routine instructions on tooth brushing. This will include which toothpaste to use, cleaning between teeth and other specific problem areas along with professional cleaning, antibiotic and antiseptic use and aids. Sometimes tissue regeneration technology is used but this treatment isn’t one that can be used on those who smoke.

Regular appointments with a dental hygienist will help to improve your confidence through having a cleaner and fresher mouth.
