Periodontal Care

Dental Hygiene is a very important part of maintaining your general health, keeping a healthy smile and your breath fresh. In the UK more teeth are lost through gum disease than from tooth decay and research has identified a link between gum disease and heart disease.

At Beverley House we have two highly experienced Hygienists who are specially trained in the treatment and prevention of periodontal (gum) disease. They re-educate patients with regards to the use of toothbrushes, electronic aids, dental tape and interdental brushes.

Our hygienists carefully examine and chart your teeth and gums noting in particular areas of pocketing, inflammation, bleeding, swelling and the presence of plaque and calculus. They will carefully remove plaque, calculus and surface stains from your teeth by ultrasonic cleaning and gentle scraping with hand instruments and polishing with prophylactic pastes.
