[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is gum disease?” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Gum disease is very common and equally very treatable. It occurs because of the build-up of plaque on the tooth surface which contains vast amount of bacteria which can irritate and damage them. If teeth are not cleaned regularly the bacteria can cause the gums to become inflamed, bleed and become painful. These are all signs of gum disease and must be treated immediately. If left untreated gun disease can result in more severe symptoms such as gum recession, sensitivity and mobility of teeth.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How can I prevent gum disease?” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Brushing twice a day on the tooth surface and gum margins which will remove the plaque and the cause of the irritation to the gums and gum disease. It is also important to use floss of interdental brushes to remove any plaque and debris from between the teeth. <\/p>\n
Visit the hygienist every six months. The hygienist will ensure that the health of the gums are checked, cleaned and also provide advice on how best to improve any oral hygiene regimes.<\/p>\n
Avoiding smoking. Smoking can release many potent chemicals into the mouth which can result in gum disease.<\/p>\n

Severe gum disease is usually correlated with a degree of bone loss which can cause wobbly teeth, pain and possible infections. When this is identified, it usually requires several sessions of deep cleaning which may even need to be carried out under the supervision of a Specialist periodontist.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is gum disease hereditary? ” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Scientific research has identified a genetic link to gum disease which means it can be passed down from previous generations. However, it can be managed if monitored and maintained regularly and prevented by regular dental and hygiene visits.<\/p>\n
