New Patient Guide to Periodontal Disease

It is vital that dental patients are made aware that gum health is paramount in keeping teeth healthy and that effective oral care can maintain gum condition, avoiding the deterioration that eventually leads to the onset of periodontitis.

A highly informative leaflet containing help and advice on oral care has been released by Blackwell Supplies. Entitled ‘How healthy are my gums? – Help and advice on your oral care’, the leaflet is available to all patients and practices.

The leaflet is packed with concise, clear information to help patients identify if their gums are healthy, the causes of gum disease and what to do if they are experiencing any of the symptoms described. The leaflet outlines exactly how dentists will assess gum health and what the treatment options are for controlling gum disease. There is also extremely useful information on preventing the deterioration of gums.

Blackwell Supplies provides a highly effective yet affordable range of oral health care products to dental professionals, including Dentomycin for use as an adjunctive treatment in scaling and root-planing when treating chronic adult periodontal disease.
