Gum Disease Treatment in London

Many people suffer from gum disease at some point in their lives. While it is preventable it can, if left untreated, lead to bleeding gums, a receding gum line, bad breath and tooth loss.

Gum disease starts with a build up of excessive bacteria known as plaque, which hardens to form tartar. There are two main types of gum disease, which are gingivitis and periodontal disease. Gingivitis starts with the inflammation of gums where they turn red and swollen and often bleed when they are brushed or during eating which is the most noticeable symptom.

Periodontal disease is more severe and heightens the problems caused by gingivitis. There are many types of periodontal disease but they all relate to the effectiveness of the gum tissue in supporting your teeth. As the condition worsens, the bone anchoring the tooth is lost, which loosens the tooth before it eventually falls out.
