Periodontology in Kingston Upon Thames

Maintaining healthy gums has become an important part of a modern healthy lifestyle. Current scientific literature shows a link between periodontal disease (i.e. gum) and cardiovascular disease, as well as conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease, diabetes, pancreatic cancer, chronic kidney disease, respiratory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cognitive impairment, metabolic syndrome, menopause and even as a risk factor for Covid-19 complications.

Root planning or "deep cleaning" of the root surface may be indicated with antibacterial medicaments placed in the pockets alongside an improvement of your oral hygiene. This may be over multiple sessions.

Patients may not be aware or exhibit all the above symptoms, therefore we monitor and record the gum health for every patient and can monitor and stage the level of active gum disease over time.

Periodontal treatment at Kingston Dental Clinic also includes a vast list of surgical and non-surgical procedures to improve results for gum health, dental implants, restorative treatment, teeth straightening, cosmetic treatment, tissue regeneration, among others.
