Get your gums into shape at the Grange Dental Practice

Do you ever suffer from bleeding gums?

If the answer is yes, then you may also be suffering from gum disease.

Bleeding gums are generally a warning sign of gum disease, caused when plaque bacteria builds up on the teeth. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to periodontal disease, which in turn causes drifting teeth, bad breath, altered taste and ultimately tooth loss. What’s more, numerous studies link poor oral health with heart disease.

Visiting a Dental Hygienist regularly will help you maintain a clean oral environment, keep gum disease at bay and will also give you the support and advice needed to keep your mouth healthy.

Diane Washington, our resident Hygienist at the Grange Dental Practice, has worked at the practice for over seven years. Working alongside the Dentist, Diane is able to monitor the general health of your gums and teeth, give them a good scale and polish, and treat all stages of gum disease.

To book an appointment with Diane, just ask your regular Dentist for a referral or alternatively contact the practice and register for a free new patient consultation. Hygiene treatments start from only £39.50.
