Gum Hygiene Treatments in Middleton
Good oral hygiene is the main method to prevent the development and progression of dental problems. Gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease) are conditions that affect and damage the supporting tissues of the teeth.
Even the best teeth can be lost if the foundations are not good. It is often a painless condition in the early stages and you may be unaware of the development of the disease.
The dentists will advise you if you seem to be prone to these conditions and provide appropriate treatment or refer you to one of our dental hygienists to manage the condition.
Our dental hygiene/ therapists are highly skilled in tailoring specific oral hygiene programmes for you and can help you to maintain high levels of cleanliness around complex dental restorations such as bridges or implants. This maintenance should be seen as an essential part of your treatment plan.
