This treatment may be carried out over one or more appointments. Dentists are becoming increasingly aware that gum disease is influenced by many factors and has links with a person’s medical health.
Primarily treatment involves the removal of plaque that is on or below the gumline, and is the main cause of the inflammation-causing the gum disease. Over the course of the treatment, our dentists will take time to explain to you what has caused the gum disease and how you can take steps to reduce the symptoms with home care.
Usually, once you have completed a course of periodontal treatment, your periodontist may recommend regular hygienist appointments to help prevent the symptoms from returning. Your dentist will also ask you to return to them for regular examinations, to ensure that your gums remain healthy in the future, and provide further advice on how to care for your gums.
If you are concerned about the health of your gums or need emergency dentist in Tiverton, please contact our reception team to book in an examination with your dentist.
