Prevention & Gum Health
Professional care for healthier teeth and gums.
Caring for your gums is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health. Gingivitis, the early and very common form of gum disease, can advance into periodontitis, the leading cause of tooth loss, which has been linked in studies to heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s. The reassuring news is that it is both preventable and treatable. Signs to watch for include gums that look swollen or are receding, bleeding when you brush, and increased sensitivity. At Netherton Dental Practice our hygienists help patients of every age keep these problems at bay.

Even the most diligent brushing and flossing leaves areas where plaque and tartar quietly gather. A hygienist appointment with us includes a thorough professional clean, stain removal using the gentle EMS Airflow system, which combines warm water, air and a fine cleansing powder, and Guided Biofilm Therapy to clear bacteria from above and below the gumline. You will also leave with home-care advice tailored to you, so your routine between visits works as hard as it can.
