Tooth Decay is not causing Tooth loss.
The major cause of tooth loss in adults is not decay-its periodontal ie gum
Disease. And its completely painless right up to an advanced stage.
More than half of all the people over the age of 18 have at least the early stages of
periodontal disease. After 35 about 3 out of 4 adults are affected.
People with gum disease do not realise it. If you have bad breath, red gums,
loose teeth or bleeding when you brush, there is a good chance you have the
problem.
The end result if untreated is tooth loss or worse. Gum Disease has been linked to an incresed
risk of heart disease!
During regular visits to our dental office at Smile and FACE Dental Studios @
Chafford 100 Dental Care early signs of gum disease will be identified.
You will be taught how to brush and floss so as to prevent the problem occurring.
Any condition can be treated painlessly and quickly in a few short appointments.
If YOUR eye balls bleed you would go to the doctor immediately.
When your gums bleed you should come and see us !
