Healthy Gums in Greater Manchester

Your gums are like cushions for your teeth; they surround the tooth from its crown to its root in the jaw and help to support a healthy mouth. Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth, and without routine cleaning gum disease can occur.

These are the stages of gum disease:

Red and swollen gums that bleed when you brush them are a sign of a type of gum disease, gingivitis.
When gingivitis is left untreated it can develop further into a type of infection known as periodontitis, which affects the entire area surrounding the tooth, causing discomfort and difficulty when eating
Eventually this kind of infection can lead to tooth loss and may require invasive procedures to replace the missing tooth.

Fortunately, this can be avoided by attending regular hygiene check-ups at the practice and maintaining a good daily hygiene routine. Brushing between the teeth, flossing and replacing your toothbrush every three months will also benefit your gum health.

Patient Review

"I have been a patient at Altrincham Dental Practice for over 15 years now and as an anxious patient, the team have always looked after me and made me feel comfortable and well looked after during my (many) appointments.

My first Dentist was Chris who i couldn't speak any higher of and i must admit i was very worried about having a new dentist when he had retired. Hash has now taken over as my Dentist and he is a very lovely and calming person, who i felt reassured and at ease with straight away. Since, i have had the Invisalign brace, teeth whitening and fillings, and He has done a great job on them all!!

Thank you all so much for always looking after me x"
