As part of offering a complete service, The Dental Academy can offer a complete range of Periodontal services.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy aims to treat the different diseases that affect the gum and bone surrounding your teeth. Gum disease is now the leading cause of tooth loss in the adult population and as such we place a strong emphasis on its detection and treatment.
Many patients are mistaken in their belief that they only have to visit the dentist for the treatment of problems or for their regular check-up. At the Dental Academy we strongly believe in disease prevention and our hygiene department leads the way in helping to prevent the damage done by Periodontal disease. Regular removal of the plaque and calculus that causes gum disease will greatly reduce the risk of developing the destructive form of gum disease.
Why not take our simple test to see if you might be suffering with Periodontal Disease and then go to our frequently asked questions to learn more.
