Dental hygienist in Glasgow & gum health treatment

A: This is why our own checks for signs of gum disease include:

• Checks for changes in the way partial dentures sit in the mouth
• Slight changes in tooth placement and alignment
• Checks or inflammation & white spots on gums
• Checks for bright red, swollen gums
• Poor odour and visible signs of pus between gums and teeth

A: If your dentist does find evidence of gum disease during a routine examination or special appointment, he or she will immediately attempt to diagnose the specific form of gum disease in question. Depending on your diagnosis, our dentists will then recommend everything from basic antibiotic treatments to painless scraping of gums to remove plaque, and even deep cleaning under implants and teeth roots in order to restore full gum health.

Are you in pain and or discomfort with your gums? If so, never attempt to diagnose yourself, or wait for problems to get progressively worse. Instead, let us help. Book an appointment today and we’ll check for signs of gum disease in your mouth. If we find something, we will then advise you in regard to the best gum health treatment plan and work to get you back to full health as expeditiously as possible.
