The early early signs of gum disease are swollen bleeding gums. If left untreated the tissues around the teeth break down, the gum peels away from the tooth and pockets can form.
The bone beneath this pocket is gradually lost and eventually the teeth could become loose and painful. In the early stages this can be resolved simply by improved oral hygiene and regular visits to the hygienist.
Visits to our hygienists are tailored to each individual’s needs and treatment monitored to protect against gum disease
