Gum disease - we'll help you avoid it or tackle it

Severe gum or periodontal disease may result in tooth loss, so it's important to follow a simple tooth care regime to prevent this happening. We can help you keep your gums healthy.

When gums are healthy they're salmon pink and don't bleed either spontaneously or after tooth brushing. When they're unhealthy, they're inflamed and bleed easily. Don't be embarrassed if your gums bleed - you're not alone, it happens to a lot of people!

Prevention and ongoing care is the key to healthy teeth. We can help you:

• by removing plaque and cleaning your teeth when you come and see us
• with a personalised care regime to help you keep your teeth clean when at home

One doesn't usually feel pain with gum disease, so please make sure you have a care regime in place as soon as possible to start preventing gum disease.

Remember: healthy gums - you'll keep your teeth, and smile with confidence!
