Protect yourself from tooth and gum disease at Leeds dentist

It is very important to look after your teeth and gums. It is all to easy to assume that they will be fine as long as they are not causing you any problems and carry on with your simple routine of brushing in the morning and evening. But in reality, your teeth need a lot more care and when it’s too late you really might regret not being more careful about how you took care of them.

Tooth and gum disease is not a laughing matter. Just ask anyone who has suffered from the pain of toothache or an abscessed tooth. Even those who take relatively good care of their teeth with effective brushing and flossing can still be at risk form dental or periodontal disease. It is important that you make sure you see your dentist every six months to keep your teeth as clean and healthy as possible.

Tooth and gum disease begins when bacteria and plaque is allowed to build up on the surface of the teeth or gums. This reacts and releases an acid, which gradually erodes the protective enamel layer of the teeth and on the gums it causes the tissue to break down. In both cases this may ultimately lead to infection which can be very painful and lead to lost gum tissue or even lost teeth. Not only will this be very unpleasant but may also cost a small fortune in dental bills to restore the appearance of the teeth.

Looking after your teeth only takes a few minutes a day extra cleaning and half an hour every six months at a Leeds dentist. It is a small sacrifice to protect yourself from what may otherwise be many months or even years of anxiety and suffering because of unhealthy teeth.
