CLEANING/PREVENTION

 


Severe gum disease


Before


After

 

There are numerous ways to prevent dental decay and gum disease, which both impact on, and jeopardise, the longevity of your teeth. For example, fissure sealing for children, and oral hygiene procedures for adults are preventative methods for avoiding dental diseases.

Gum disease inflicts most adults, and is a major cause of tooth loss, mobile teeth and bad breath. Because gum disease is chronic, you may not be aware of its presence until the inevitable outcome of loose teeth, abscesses and pain. It is therefore prudent to seek dental advice regularly, and implement prevention, thus avoiding expensive and protracted treatment. At the Ridgeway Dental Surgery, prior to commencing any restorative treatment, we ensure that your gums are in optimal health. This helps with maintaining your teeth for life, and ensures long term success of filling, crown, implants, etc.
