We’re the Bracknell practice for you if you want to be seen QUICKLY!
Why See Our Dental Hygienists?
Bleeding gums? Bad breath? Bad taste? Call 01344 429485 (Bracknell). Periodontal disease causes loose teeth, eventually, but in its early stages it is easily treated and is reversible.
Do not worry if you have bleeding gums already. Just telephone!
The dentist will discuss your treatment needs with you and ask the receptionist to organise appropriate hygienist appointments.
Please be aware that, under the Law, to see the hygienist you have first to see the dentist to have your clinical condition evaluated.
Hygienists are highly trained in the very intricate skills required to remove calculus [tartar] thoroughly from your teeth and your root surfaces.
It is very important to have all calculus removed as it forms a ledge where food and bacteria stagnate. Having scaled and polished your teeth and removed all the plaque and calculus, the hygienist will then draw your attention to any areas which YOU find difficult to clean and show you how to tackle these using specialist products.
As stated above, our hygienists and very nice and considerate, and will make sure that all aspects of your cleaning are tackled thoroughly and professionally.
Why See Our Periodontist?
If periodontal disease has spread in your gums/bone, call 01344 429485 [Bracknell] to see our periodontist: a specialised dentist, to try to save your teeth.
The periodontist will be able to carry out special deep scaling and chemical/antibiotic treatment may be needed. Intervention with the laser is possible in some cases.
A small operation may be recommended to remove your infected gums/bone.
This is done under local anaesthetic. The aim is to remove hopelessly infected tissues and to clean the area out thoroughly.
Your lost bone will never come back in its entirety. However, some will build up, and if enough does build up and tighten around your teeth, your teeth will firm up. Once you have the disease under control, your bad breath and bad taste will go away.
