Gum Disease

How our Hygienist can Help You

[Sequence of images describing how a hygienist helps you] Periodontal disease effects teeth, gum and the bone that surrounds the teeth. Most people who have periodontal disease are rarely aware of it. Its very often not painful, especially in the early stages.

The main cause is accumulation of plaque. Plaque is the sticky food and bacteria that forms constantly on your teeth.

Bleeding is a sign of infection -- Healthy Teeth Don't Bleed.

Our dental hygienist, Yvonne Steward, is specifically trained to help you with gum problems

When you go to see the hygienist, she will scale your teeth to remove plaque, tartar and bacterial toxins from root surfaces. Most importantly, she will give you advice on how to keep your mouth healthy.

Visiting the hygienist is an essential part of the preventive programme that we strongly recommend to help preserve your teeth.
