Periodontal Disease, also known as gum disease, is a disease which affects the gums, bone and supporting tissues of the tooth. It affects approximately 45% of the UK population. If left unchecked periodontitis can progress and can lead to the loss of supporting bone around the teeth, and ultimately the loosening and even loss of teeth.

What happens during a Periodontal Consultation?

  1. During the first appointment our Specialist Periodontist Angela Boodhooa will record all the information she needs to give you an accurate assessment of your gum disease and tell you clearly what the results mean and what needs to be done both now and in the future.
  2. Angela firmly believes that you can only stabilize gum disease by working together and aims to give you the tools and techniques needed to keep your teeth and gums healthy for longer.
  3. In addition to treating gum disease Angela also carries out gingival grafting to cover up areas of recession or exposed roots.
