Also known as periodontitis, gum disease can affect individuals from a very early age through to their elderly years. It leads to early tooth loss.
Periodontitis occurs due to a build-up of plaque on the teeth from poor or irregular oral hygiene. However, the condition is generally painless and often goes unnoticed.
Treating gum disease is often quite simple. You can usually cure mild cases by keeping good oral hygiene and allowing your gums to return to a healthy state. Visiting your dentist or dental hygienist for a thorough clean will remove any hardened plaque (tartar).
For more severe cases, you would normally need further medical and dental treatment, such as antibiotics, deep cleaning, tooth removal, or gum surgery.
To prevent gum disease, or treat it as it occurs, you need to make sure you remove all the plaque from your teeth every day.
Our hygienist will further explain and help you to understand the importance of having healthy gums, and will offer advice on how best to maintain good oral health.
