Get healthier teeth by treating gum disease at Central Leeds dentist

The easiest way to make sure you have healthy teeth is to have healthy gums. After all, teeth are secured by gum tissue so having unhealthy gums affected by disease will have a negative impact on the teeth as well. Gum disease is very common in the UK with three out of four adults suffering from at least the milder form of the disease at some stage in their life. Gum disease is easily treated in its early stages with improved dental hygiene and some treatment from a dentist. This will not only improve the appearance of your gums but will also help to keep the teeth strong, healthy and free from decay.

Gum disease is caused by plaque acid destroying gum tissue. Plaque is the sticky substance that coats the teeth and gums consisting of bacteria and food debris. It is usually the most dangerous after eating which it is why dentists always recommend brushing of flossing after eating. Although mild gum disease is easily treated, the more serious form of the disease, also called periodontitis, is a different proposition. This may require more severe treatment such as anti-biotics and in extreme cases some tissue removal and even a stay in hospital.

Central Leeds can help patients to spot the first signs of gum disease and offer advice on the best ways to avoid it. They can also treat any gum disease they notice during routine check ups. Keeping your gums healthy will make keeping your teeth healthy all the more easy to help you have the perfect smile, framed by perfect gums.
