EARLY STAGES OF GUM DISEASE

Where bad breath is attributed to gum disease, there are several signs of infection. In the early stages of gum disease the gums are inflamed, red and may bleed when you brush your teeth. Early gum disease can be effectively cured through improved hygiene and education. Avenue 9 Dental Clinic is passionate about assisting you to make the change and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

ADVANCED GUM DISEASE

Where bad breath is attributed to advanced gum disease; there is significant tartar under the gums, which are red, swollen and painful. The tartar must be professionally scaled off. Avenue 9 Dental Clinic has two experienced and qualified hygienists which assist in treating the gum disease and educating you on reducing issues in the future. After your visit, your teeth will look and feel cleaner, and stains or bacteria build-up will be removed. Regular dental hygiene is then required to maintain your healthy new mouth. For very advanced gum disease, the professional team at Avenue 9 Dental Clinic will refer you to a specialist.

It is essential to take dental hygiene seriously, because if not treated gum disease can cause serious tooth loss.
