HYGIENE
While
seldom painful and frequently free of any obvious signs or
symptoms, periodontal disease can progress, undetected, to
the point where supporting bone is destroyed.
With
80% - 90% of all teenagers having some form of gingivitis
(inflamed gums) and 75% of adult tooth loss over the age of
35 due to periodontal disease, early treatment and
prevention is essential.
Centre Dentaire Amical Dental Practice places the need for
regular hygiene visits on equal terms with regular dental
examinations. So often the hygienist is seen simply as a
cleaner of teeth, a fact so far from the truth.
Our
hygienists are all highly skilled experts in the field of
gum disease and on many occasions, with expert help and
advice to the patient, have reversed seemingly desperate
situations. In addition, they can also provide fluoride
treatments, fissure sealants and advise on the correct use
of dental sundries.
We are
able to offer the services of an in-house periodontist for
surgical procedures.
