Did you know that 60-80% of the adult population have gum disease? And that close to 50% have a severe form, called periodontitis (a condition that dissolves the bone in your jaw and gums)?

At The Dental Place, we have a very strong focus on the link between oral health and general health.

Certain conditions can increase your risk to gum disease and there is a body of research to show that gum disease is linked to increasing the chances of chronic conditions in the body.

This is exactly why we have a dental hygienist on our team and why it is so important to see an oral health professional regularly (usually at a minimum every 6 months) to try and keep infection managed and prevent it’s spread.

At each visit our hygienist treats and manages infection present in your gums and spends time with you developing a personalised home-care regime
