Looking after your gums is an important part of oral hygiene. However, we understand this is not always easy. For high-quality gum treatment in Colchester, come to Dentoworld!

After all, healthy gums make a healthy mouth. So, even if you have no cavities, you need to treat your gums with care and respect. In fact, neglecting your gums could lead to serious infections or diseases.

At Dentoworld, we are experts in all forms of dental treatment, including gums. We can help either repair your gums, prevent further damage or identify the problem early.

Disease/Recession

An example of serious gum damage is gum recession. Also known as receding gums, this refers to when gum tissue wears away. As a result, the tooth or its root becomes more exposed.

Although a common dental problem, it generally occurs gradually. Gum recession should not be ignored and requires urgent treatment.

Therefore, patients do not always realise immediately that they have gum recession. You may notice that a tooth appears longer, or has increased sensitivity. Either way, you should contact Dentoworld as soon as possible.

Gum Treatment

In minor cases, we can treat the infected area with deep cleaning. However, more severe cases – such as excessive loss of bone – may require gum surgery as a form of corrective solution.

Our gum treatment in Colchester helps to remedy the damage.

Gaps form between the gum line leading to a build-up of harmful bacteria. Without precise and specialist gum treatment, this could result in permanent damage.

Contributing Factors/Preventative Action

Gum disease may occur for several reasons, including:

• Genetics
• Rough Tooth Brushing
• Hormonal Changes – for instance, due to Pregnancy or Puberty
• Poor Oral Hygiene
• Tobacco
• Grinding Teeth

To decrease the chance of gum recession, there are some key actions. For instance, you could quit smoking (if you smoke), maintain a healthy diet and keep an eye out for any changes in your mouth.
