Help Prevent Gum Disease in Twickenham
Montrose Smile Studio
Gingivitis and periodontitis are serious forms of gum disease which is the leading cause of tooth loss. At Montrose Smile Studio our primary aim is to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy and we can show you how this can be prevented.
When bacteria builds up in our mouths, a film of plaque develops on the base of our teeth, just around the gum line. This is the beginning of gum disease and if left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis and result in the loss of a tooth.

Symptoms of Gingivitis
There are a number of warning signs that can help you to identify the formation or effects of gingivitis. These are swollen gums, red sensitive gums, bleeding gums (when flossing or brushing), receding gums, bad breath (halitosis) or loose teeth.
Causes of Gingivitis
The main cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene however, it can be caused by brushing teeth with stiff bristled toothbrushes or breathing through the mouth whilst sleeping and smoking. Other factors including age, osteoporosis and genetics can also contribute to the development of gingivitis .
