gum disease
Look no further, Smile Club offers expert gum disease treatment in the Cheadle area
Our team are highly experienced in diagnosing gum disease and have a rounded mindset when it comes to finding the right treatment for each individual patient. Gum disease is the number one reason for tooth loss in adults. With this in mind, looking after your gums is one of the biggest investments you can make into your future oral and general health. Symptoms such as bleeding or inflamed gums may indicate you are developing the early stages of gum disease, known as gingivitis. This said, early-stage gum disease often doesn’t present any symptoms, which is why we can’t stress how important it is to come along to routine hygienist appointments. During these appointments, we can make sure your gums remain free from plaque and tartar and detect any problems early
Putting you on the path to better gum health
Gum disease is caused by a film of bacteria that coats your teeth – this is known as plaque. Hardened plaque needs to be regularly removed by a hygienist to make sure your gums don’t suffer and reach a point where you lose your teeth.
A good at-home brushing and flossing routine is paramount in keeping the threat of gum disease minimal, alongside routine hygienist appointments at our state-of-the-art practice. During your routine appointment we will:
• Remove plaque and tartar from your gum line.
• Take X-rays where appropriate, to make sure you have sufficient, healthy jawbone.
• Advise on how you can improve your diet and replace sugary and highly acidic food and drink.
• Advise on how you can get the most out of your at-home oral care routine.
• Create a bespoke plan to address any degree of gum disease present.
• Advise you on how often to come in for routine appointments.
• Offer guidance and support surrounding stopping smoking if you are a smoker. Smoking seriously increases your chance of gum disease and tooth loss.
