After avoiding a dentist for 10 years, through fear and bad experiences, I was recommended by a friend who had been treated with sedation at Twickenham Dental Care. For anyone who can't face dental treatment, sedation was a fantastic option
Before receiving treatment with Dr. Cheong, I was concerned about pain. Not only was the treatment painless, I did not feel ANY pain afterwards. I highly recommend Twickenham Dental Care to anyone interested in receiving professional and painless Implants.
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals specifically with conditions affecting the gums and soft tissues that support your teeth. They treat periodontal disease (an advanced form of gum disease) and other inflammations of the mouth.
Gum disease begins as gingivitis, with common signs including blood on the toothbrush when you brush your teeth. You should contact your dentist immediately if you experience such symptoms, as gum disease is best treated early. Left untreated, gingivitis can become periodontitis, which is much more serious.
Periodontitis affects the soft tissue that holds the teeth in place and can cause the gums to start separating from the teeth. The condition can also spread to the jaw bones, which can start to dissolve, leading to tooth loss. It usually takes some years for periodontitis to develop, and you should make an appointment with a Periodontist if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Gum disease is very common, and if caught in its earlier stages is relatively easy to combat. Bleeding gums is the first signs of gum disease or Gingivitis. This is normally a sign that you need to see a Dentist!
However, there are some patients who have a more advanced form of this disease, usually known as Periodontitis where the bone supporting your teeth starts to erode away, and who require specialist care. Without treatment, they are at risk of losing their teeth. Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals specifically with conditions affecting the gums and soft tissues that support your teeth.
