Nobody
wants to have tooth decay or gum disease. We know that nobody wants
an extraction or for that matter a filling if they can avoid it. So why
then do so many of us end up needing a filling every so often or suffering
from bleeding gums. Is it just down to luck?
The question we always want
to help you answer is WHY is this happening? And more importantly what can
be done to prevent it.
There are many factors that
influence your personal risk of experiencing tooth decay or gum
disease. By working together we can help you to take control of many
of these thus reducing your risk of future fillings and gum disease.
We would like to share our knowledge with you,
to
help you benefit from improved health and the reduced costs
that preventative dental care can bring. If this sounds like
your type of dental care why not.......

Gum
Disease is also
known as Periodontal disease, this affects the gums and structures that
support your teeth. It slowly removes the bone around your teeth. If
left untreated, it can progress to the point where the teeth become
loose. Bleeding gums, bad breath, sore gums, red gums are all signs that
this might affect you.

The aim of prevention is to
control the 8 factors that work together to cause tooth decay. Once
a tooth has decay, there is no going back, it has to be attended
to. The sooner, the better. Left unattended, decayed areas
increase in size and destroy more of your tooth.
