The light touch clinic

Keeping your gums healthy takes tlc

Eighty per cent of adults and more than half of all teenagers are affected by gum disease to varying degrees. It is the biggest cause of tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, bacterial lung infections, premature births and strokes.

St Helens hygienist Jo Rayka

Many people remain unaware they have the disease or that early signs include sensitivity, gum bleeding, bad breath or bad tastes. There is no cure for gum disease but it can be avoided and controlled with a combination of expert assistance and the right oral hygiene routines at home.

Our dedicated clinic is at the forefront of periodontal care. Through our continued investment in the latest equipment and techniques, we have established a conveniently local and well-respected centre of excellence for the prevention and management of gum disease.

We welcome patients who are concerned about the health of their mouth; who understand that a foundation of strong, healthy gums is necessary for any kind of cosmetic dentistry and who appreciate that gums, just as much as teeth, require regular, professional care.

We also work in partnership with dentists across the North West by offering a local and alternative referral service to city-based clinics. Our partner dentists enjoy access to our consistently superb hygiene service that adds value to their patients. more »

It is clear why we put such emphasis on the early identification and management of any gum disorder - you have more to lose than your teeth if you allow gum disease to continue unhindered.
