Periodontics - Westbourne Grove Dental

When gum disease is left untreated or has advanced to periodontitis, you may require periodontal treatment to restore you back to oral health.

This branch of dentistry focuses on the gums and jaw bone or the teeth’s supporting structures. At Westbourne Grove Dental, if you are suffering from periodontal symptoms such as inflamed gums, infection, receding gums or any other related issues, we can help to resolve the problem. Our dental experts are able to treat a variety of periodontal concerns and where cases have become advanced we will refer you to a specialist to make sure you receive the right treatment.

Gum disease which remains untreated can cause problems with the jawbone which could ultimately lead to the loss of your natural teeth. As plaque builds up on the gum line, it makes the area more vulnerable to bacteria and infection. In recent years, many links have been made between gum disease and general health, so it is a problem that should not be ignored. It is important to stay on top of your dental health through regular visits to your dentist and the hygienist so your teeth and gums can be cleaned thoroughly
