Did you know that Periodontal disease stands as the leading cause of tooth loss in adults? This inflammatory condition, commonly referred to as gum disease, targets the gums, bones, and supporting structures of the teeth. The root cause lies in plaque, a colourless bacteria that forms on teeth. If left unaddressed, plaque triggers the gradual recession of gums away from the teeth, creating pockets between teeth and gums. These pockets become breeding grounds for plaque, leading to deterioration and advancing periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease not only impacts your dental health but is also linked to systemic health concerns. Scientific studies suggest that the inflammation associated with gum disease may contribute to the development of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases.

At 740 Dental, we take a comprehensive approach to your dental care. Beyond just treating the symptoms, we aim to educate and empower you in understanding the critical link between oral health and overall well-being. Regular check-ups and careful examination, including x-rays and measurements of gum pockets, help us diagnose and address periodontal disease in its early stages.

Prevention is key, and we emphasise the significance of oral hygiene and preventative care. To combat gingivitis, the precursor to periodontal disease, we recommend simple yet effective practices:

• Brushing your teeth twice a day (in the morning and last thing at night).
• Flossing daily.
• Not smoking.

If possible, it is best to use an electric toothbrush to clean your teeth. You should also try using fluoride toothpaste if your water supply is low in fluoride. Fluoride is a natural mineral, which helps to strengthen your tooth enamel, protecting it from tooth decay.
