Gum Disease Treatment in Solihull

We believe at Eternal Smiles that looking after the foundation of the teeth i.e. the gum and surrounding supporting bone is important. If weak foundations are present the teeth will not be able to function optimally. Dr Singh is able to give you the hygiene clean that will clean away the bacteria, plaque and tartar that builds around your teeth. He uses the ultrasonic cleaner to clean below the gums and inbetween the teeth. It is an instrument that works more efficiently that hand instruments and allows the cleaning process to be done very well for you.

When bacteria, plaque and tartar is removed you get fresher breath and talk confidently to work colleagues and family members.

During moderate and severe gum disease (called moderate or severe periodontitist) the bacteria peals back the gum seal around the tooth. They start to attack the bone foundation and gum recession starts to occur. The reason for this is because the bone sets the tone for the soft gum tissue. Also some teeth are more susceptible to gum disease and we will examine this for you so you can concentrate on cleaning them.

Treating periodontitist requires a gum analysis first and then Dr Singh will suggest a treatment plan of deep cleaning. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed. If this regime is proving difficult to remove the bugs then a bariostatic agents are left in the deep pockets around your teeth to allow healing of the soft tissues over 3 months. If this is not successful then gum surgery around the teeth is required as a last resort for very difficult cases.

Fresher breath and your good health is the aim of the above techniques.
