Your periodontal health (the health of the supporting tissues around the teeth) are of great importance. Not only do these keep your teeth in place, there is also a significant evidence that the health of your gums and your cardiovascular health are intrinsically related.
The discolouration and staining of teeth is almost inevitable. As a nation, we love our tea and coffee which, along with other things like red wine and nicotine, will leave marks and stains. There are ways of cleaning these stains and discolouration without harming the enamel.
From our London clinic near Harley Street, we undertake thorough deep cleaning, utilising equipment such as the AirFlow which gently and effectively removes stains. Your teeth are cleaned using a fine jet of water, powder and compressed air which removes the stains from the surface gently and painlessly. As it will give your teeth a whiter appearance, it could be an effective alternative to teeth whitening. And you’ll see the results immediately – which will definitely give you something to smile about!
Gum health is hugely important. Without healthy gums, you can’t have healthy teeth. An additional danger is that implant treatments will be at risk of failure if your gums are not healthy, which is another reason to maintain gum health. Gum disease – or gingivitis – is caused by the build-up of plaque along and underneath the gum line. The bacteria in the plaque can cause an infection that, left untreated, can damage the gum and bone which leads to tooth decay.
The good news is that damage caused by gingivitis is reversible and we can treat problems with your gums in a number of ways.
Scale and polish – we will remove any build-up of plaque and tartar from your teeth, then polish your teeth which will remove marks and stains.
Antibiotics – for more advanced gum conditions we recommend full mouth or localised gum treatments using topical antibiotics that significantly improve the gingival health.
Good oral hygiene is essential for your good health, not just the health of your teeth and gums. There are a number of simple actions you can take to protect your oral hygiene which includes:
Check out our online shop for the Dr Richard range of whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes which are made from 100% natural ingredients. If you fancy a change from mint flavoured toothpaste, try our strawberry flavoured one – perhaps it’ll encourage the kids to remember to brush their own teeth. And as you only need to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for each brush, each tube will last a long time. An essential part of your Harley Street smile!
