Gum disease affects the gums, bone and ligaments that support your teeth. These structures are the foundations which enable you to keep your teeth for life, but they can be damaged by bacterial infection.

It can affect one tooth or many, and if not treated can eventually lead to pain and tooth loss – in fact, it is the biggest cause of tooth loss among adults in
the UK.

The damage caused is irreversible, but with proper treatment and after care further harm can be prevented.

At Redcliffe Dental Practice, we can offer specialist treatment for more severe cases of gum disease, which could ultimately make the difference between you keeping your own teeth or losing them.

Our specialists are among only 130 registered specialists in the UK, and offers therapies which go beyond those normally offered by general dentists. Their expertise means they treat more complex cases, resulting in pain free teeth and gums and the best possible long term outlook for you and your teeth.
