Gum Disease

Gum disease is inflammation and infection of the tissues supporting the teeth. There are two main forms of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis affects the gums alone and is usually reversible however periodontitis is more serious and affects the bone supporting the teeth.

Am I likely to suffer from gum disease

Most of the adult population in UK suffers from some form of gum disease and it is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. However, gum disease usually progresses very slowly and with monitoring, advice and treatment, most people are able to keep most of their teeth for longtime.

What is the cause of gum disease? +

Gum disease is caused by plaque. Plaque is a biofilm of bacteria which forms on the surface of the teeth and gums. To prevent and treat gum disease, you need to make sure that you remove all the plaque from your teeth every day. This is usually done by brushing & flossing but your dentist may also recommend other techniques.

A truly superb dental practice, friendly, professional and very clean.
The team are wonderful and very helpful. The dentist I saw was Dr Hema Rajah, who was absolutely amazing and a true artist at dentistry.
A big thank you to Dr Hema Rajah, Sophie, Abbey and Lucie.
I can honestly highly recommend North Lane Dental Practice to anyone (especially nervous patients).

‘Changed my life’ From the second I walked into North lane I felt completely at ease. From the girls at reception to my incredible dentist Hema. I desperately wanted to improve my smile which has been an insecurity of mine since my teenage life and opted for an initial treatment of Invisalign. This in itself had the most incredible results leaving my teeth completely straight. After my final treatment of composite bonding to both top and bottom my teeth are absolutely perfect. I cannot thank North Lane dentist enough and would recommend anyone to choose them to change there smile forever. Thank you to the whole team

I had my composite veneers done nearly a year ago now, and this has completely boosted my confidence and my self esteem!!! Hems has been absolutely fantastic, she takes amazing care and takes deep thought into what your desired results are, and recommends what shape/shade would suit you best. I wouldn’t ever recommend anywhere else, it’s the best thing I have ever done. I am so confident now, and it’s made me love my smile

I have been looking for such a long time for a new dentist and for the right place to have my composite bonding done. The team here have been so helpful from the offset and I could not recommend them enough. If you are looking for a dental practise or for cosmetic dentistry then they certainly are the place to get in touch with.
