Gum Treatment in Birstall, Leicester, Oadby

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Everyone wants to have a beautiful, straight, white smile.

A beautiful smile can be achieved with treatments such as teeth whitening, teeth straightening, veneers, crowns, implants etc.

The most important thing to consider prior to having any form of cosmetic dental treatment is the health of your gums. Are your gums healthy? your gums are the foundation to your teeth, therefore if the health of your gums is not good, then cosmetic dental treatment is not going to be succesful.

It is very important to have a thorough check up with the dentist prior to embarking on cosmetic dental treatment. At our practices in Leicester/Loughborough, we carry out a thorough examination, where we check the health of your teeth, gums, bone around your teeth, your jaw joints, your soft tissues.

If your gums are not 100% healthy, then we offer gum treatments such as simple scale and polishes, to deeper cleans for those with more serious gum problems.

We can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted! Give us a call!

Gagging During Dental Treatment Leicester Loughborough Nottingham

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

The Gag reflex is a natural response as it is a contraction of the back of the throat to prevent choking. Touching the back of the roof of the mouth can instigate a gag response. Some people have a more sensitive gag response than others and may gag more easily. Because of this hypersensitive gag response, patients may avoid dental treatment for various reasons. Sometimes dental phobia can contribute to an increased gag reflex.

At the Dental Suite, we have a wealth of experience in treating Nervous Patients and in treating patients with a increased gag response. There are many ways that hyperactive gag response can be reduced: IV sedation, Hypnotherapy or acupuncture.

We always like to stress that avoiding the dentist turns minor problems in major problems, therefore if you are apprehensive about dental treatment , why not give us a call. We can help you!
