What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease is primarily caused by the accumulation of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. When plaque is not adequately removed through regular brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums.

Other factors contributing to gum disease include:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Smoking or using tobacco products
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or menopause
  • Certain medical conditions, like diabetes
  • Medications that reduce saliva flow

How Can We Treat Gum Disease?

Our comprehensive hygiene therapy is designed to combat gum disease and promote oral health.

Our treatment includes:

Professional Cleaning:

Our skilled dental hygienists perform a thorough cleaning, removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.

Scaling and Root Planing:

This deep-cleaning procedure targets the root surfaces, eliminating bacteria and smoothing the roots to prevent future plaque buildup.

Antibiotic Therapy:

In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to control bacterial infection.

Oral Hygiene Education:

We provide personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and maintaining oral health to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

Our hygiene therapy is tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring optimal results and a healthier smile.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.

The clinic is beautifully clean and always smells amazing! If I ever decide to go further than my regular ‘tweakments’ FACEMED will absolutely be my first port of call.
