Gum Care and Treatment at Periodontal Croydon

Gum treatment from Gentle Dental Care If you are in the early stages of gum disease, this can usually be treated by a dental hygienist. When you visit a hygienist, they will:

Carry out a hygiene assessment to look for inflammation, bleeding, soft plaque and hard deposits (calculus).
Carry out a scale and polish, removing soft and hard debris and deposits from teeth and gums. If you have more advanced gum disease your hygienist will refer you on to the relevant dental professional.
They may carry out treatments such as: Root planing. This consists of a deep clean underneath the gums to get rid of bacteria. Periodontal surgery. It’s possible that you might need specific surgery, or to have a tooth removed.
Your dentist may also prescribe a course of antibiotics depending on the treatment you are undergoing. Our award-winning specialist, Dr Mish, will restore your gums back to perfect health.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Gentle Gum Care by my own dentist to treat my advanced gum disease.  Following a very informative consultation my course of treatment was fully explained. I have now had my 2 intense gum treatments which Dr Mish carried out in a gentle and professional manner, whilst ensuring I was as comfortable as the treatment was carried out.  Following the procedures Nancy carefully went through cleaning management to ensure the treatments outcome is successful. I would recommend Gentle Dental care to family and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My heart sank when I heard that I had resorption in my front left canine tooth. The last thing I wanted was an extraction with a gap, denture or implant. Dr Mish was brilliant at confirming the diagnosis and taking me through the care options. I have had the extraction today and I am leaving with a denture and an Essex thing with an inbuilt tooth so I look fine for work. I'll have a check up in a fortnight and we'll see how the healing goes before I have an implant. The combination of calm, professional care and clear communication before, during and after each procedure makes Dr Mish a great professional. Highly recommended. UPDATE: My tooth is now in. After comprehensive and exceptional care, which included a bone graft, implant and now a tooth being fitted, I am delighted to say the treatment is over. I have a couple of check in in the diary to ensure the implant is all fine. Dr Mish and the team are amazing. I can smile with confidence again now I have a new canine tooth. Hurrah! And thank you Gentle Dental Care and especially to Dr Mish.
