Regular Treatment at Enderby Dental Centre Helps Prevent Gum Disease
Periodontics is the area of dentistry that deals with the gums and bone surrounding your teeth. It's essential that your teeth have a solid foundation for healthy gums and strong bone. Regular cleanings and treatment is the key to maintaining this foundation.
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth.
Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Swollen, puffy and bleeding gums.
Spaces between teeth.
Tooth sensitivity.

If not adequately treated, periodontal disease can result in loose teeth and, ultimately, tooth loss. Early detection and treatment are important to successfully rectify gum disease.
