At Beechwood Dental & Implant Centre, nestled in the heart of Ranelagh, Dublin, our commitment is simple: to protect your smile with cutting-edge expertise, tailored care, and genuine support. One of the most common yet often overlooked dental issues we care deeply about is gum disease. This is an oral health condition with far-reaching impact if left untreated.
What Is Gum Disease and Why It Matters
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, refers to the progressive breakdown of the tissues that support your teeth, gums, ligaments, and even the jawbone. It starts subtly and, over time, can lead to loose or lost teeth. Importantly, the health of your gums doesn’t just affect your mouth. It can influence your well-being as a whole. Gum disease has confirmed links to serious systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
From Prevention to Personalized Treatment
At our Dublin practice, prevention starts with regular visits to our hygienist, a foundational practice to keep gum disease at bay. But when early intervention isn’t enough, we’re ready with comprehensive, personalized treatment plans.
For more advanced cases, our approach may include:
- Deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing, which remove harmful plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline.
- In more severe scenarios, minor surgical procedures to eliminate infection and restore healthy tissue, enabling you to maintain proper oral hygiene.
- When needed, we collaborate with specialist periodontists to ensure you receive the most effective care.
