Advanced gum disease
Although gingivitis, or early gum disease may have some beneficial effects, progression to advanced gum disease does not. Advanced gum disease has been linked to the development of serious diseases such heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and renal disease amongst others.
Advanced gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss affecting eatin g, speech and appearance and is a cause of bad breath, so it can be a life changing disease. It is surprising that the NHS puts no particular emphasis on dealing with this disease, and provides derisory funding to treat it. It affects 4 out of 5 people to varying degrees during their lifetime. At this practice we give it the highest priority, checking for signs at every checkup.
If you have advanced disease, which you may be unaware of, at some stage it is very likely your teeth will loosen. Once you become aware of this you have very advanced disease and risk losing your teeth. Our new treatment QSIANT may be able to help you, but at this late stage cannot be guaranteed to succeed. Preventing this state developing is best.
Non-surgical treatment
Specialist periodontologists and others may choose to use surgical approaches to treat advanced gum disease, and indeed so may we, but we believe we have the tools to reduce risks without resorting to this.
We are at the forefront of research into non-surgical treatment, having invented a new approach, which has so far helped over 135 people. Traditional approaches rarely do more than slow the disease and prevention of systemic affects is questionnable, with the disease slowly rumbling along.
Results from our work show people responding so well that there is no sign of advancing disease two years after the initial treatment. More information is available by following this link to QSIANT.
