The health of our patients' gums is a top priority at Ewan Bramley Dental Care which is why we have invested so heavily in this area.

We are one of the only a handful of practices in the North-East to employ full time Dental Therapists - university graduates who receive significantly more training than a dental hygienist allowing them to perform more advanced procedures.

Our gum appointments are all an hour long as opposed to the ten minute slots most of us have become accustomed to.

Our Gum Maintenance Appointment includes:

• An in depth assessment of the health of your gums with the Florida Probe. This allows us to accurately monitor the health of your gums to make sure that your jaw bone is not dissolving away
• The microsonic cleaning of any tarter etc. This is the latest technique to gently and comfortably clean your teeth and flush way any bacterial infection from your gums
• The treatment of any infection with the "OzoTop". This revolutionary new technology allows us to painlessly kill the bacteria that cause gum disease and bad breath. Leaving you with healthy gums and a fresher mouth
• The removal of any stain from your teeth to keep them sparkling.
• We will show you any problem areas with the help of a brand new camera that can see inside your mouth. We can store images of these areas to check against at a later date.
• Instruction in any advanced Home Care necessary. Sometimes it can be really difficult to clean areas of your mouth we will help you to achieve the level of home care necessary to maintain the health of teeth and gums.

"You wouldn't build a stylish house extension without first digging deep enough foundations..... the same goes for our teeth; there is little point spending time and money on cosmetic and restorative procedures if the foundations -the gums - are not in pristine condition"
