Dental Hygiene and health

At Dental Elegance we screen all our patients very carefully for any signs of gum infection. If it is caught early treatment can be quick and advanced problems can be avoided. Gum infection or gum disease affects about 3 out of 4 adults over the age of 35. (it can affect any age group including young teenagers) . It is the biggest cause of tooth loss . There is a link between gum disease and heart disease. Gum disease progresses from mild to advanced relativly painlessly which means you are not aware of how bad your gum condition is. Gum disease or periodontitis can be a route into the bloodstream for around 700 types of bacteria found in the mouth, leading to the more serious problem of coronary heart disease. Here at Dental Elegance we have 3 hygienists who all share a wealth of experience. After your treatment is complete, not only will you see and feel a difference in your smile, you will gain inner confidence knowing that you have a clean healthy mouth.
