Healthy gums are essential for good oral health and issues with your gums can also lead to a range of wider health problems. To help protect your gums, it’s important to prevent plaque and tartar from building up in between teeth and along the gum line. When this happens, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria which can then attack your teeth. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to a condition known as periodontal disease or gum disease. This can eventually lead to bone erosion and tooth loss.

Gum disease intervention is much easier with early detection. This is why we encourage our patients to visit the dentist at least once a year. You can also visit sooner if you are concerned about your oral health. The treatment you receive will depend on your individual case and will be customised to your needs.
