Gum and Jaw Health

More teeth are lost from gum disease than from dental disease. This mostly silent pathology is reliably treatable through diligent care and appropriate treatments.

Dr Stean is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, and is fully equipped to treat this condition and maintain future gum health.

Jaw conditions are also surprisingly common, and many people are not aware that a suitably experienced dentist is best person to consult.

One common example of current treatment is the custom -made ‘bite guard’ appliance that can prevent night time damage from tooth clenching and assist in jaw re-alignment.
