As part of the thorough examination process, Birch Dental Practice will examine the very foundations of your teeth, the gums.
As the build-up of plaque (also know as tartar or calculus) prevents the natural enamel to shield the teeth from infections, excess plaque releases harmful poisons causing the gums to be irritated and inflamed.
If not treated properly, the bone supporting the teeth become weaker and will no longer hold support and can become looser, causing them to fall out.
After regular oral hygiene at home, Birch Dental Practice can be the second line of defence to maintain the health of your gums and teeth.
