Periodontics refers to the treatment of the gums and structures that support the teeth.
For most patients, this involves the prevention and treatment of gum disease.
At Desford Dental Care we strongly believe in preventive care, and take care of the whole mouth – not just the teeth. We know just how important it is to take care of the gums – in fact, gum disease is not only the most common cause of tooth loss but it is also connected to an increased likelihood of heart disease.
We place a great emphasis on taking care of the gums and can help our patients do the same by building an oral health regime that works for them. We recommend attending dental hygiene appointments here with us at regular intervals. Our hygienists will not only be able to help prevent gum disease from occurring, but are also able to diagnose and in some cases treat it too.
If you are in need of periodontic treatment, we will talk through all your options with you and make sure you feel comfortable and confident in the treatment plan we design with you. If, for any reason, we need to refer you out of practice in order to provide you with the best treatment, we will inform you of this at the earliest opportunity.
