At the Barker Dental Practice, the first stage for any patient is a discussion with one of our expert dentists about any concerns you may have followed by a thorough examination not only of your teeth but also of your entire mouth including your gums, jaw joints, and associated muscles. This assessment will allow your dentist to create an individualized treatment plan to remedy any dental health problems you may have. In addition to this, our dentist can advise you on the different ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. |

Periodontal
disease destroys the gum and bone that support the tooth
and is the most common cause of tooth loss. Periodontal disease is caused by a combination of natural predisposition, inadequate oral hygiene, and other factors such as smoking and diabetes. Patients are usually unaware that they have periodontal disease which is why it is so important to have regular check-ups with your dentist. Treatment typically involves establishing perfect oral hygiene and regular thorough cleaning by your dentist/hygienist. It is imperative to stop the progression of periodontal disease to prevent serious dental health problems in the future.
