FACT  Without you doing your bit at home every single day, professional periodontal therapy will not be successful. Periodontal treatment can take time and may be expensive. To ensure long term stability of your gum condition you will need to use the right tools at the right time in the right way – every single day. This takes time and effort and commitment. You may need to modify the way you brush your teeth and clean between teeth. You will likely spend much more time than you did before your periodontal diagnosis on your oral hygiene routine to control the plaque biofilm in your mouth. On top of this you will also need to address any medical and lifestyle factors that have contributed to you  gum condition e.g. smoking, diabetes, stress. The British Society of Periodontology have information about gum disease which you may find helpful. You can access it here

This Gum Care kit will get you off to a good start. Periodontal patients are periodontal patients for life. The aim of treatment is to stabilise the condition and prevent further breakdown of the periodontal tissues – i.e. gum and bone – the supporting structures of the teeth.
