DENTAL TREATMENTS

At VIDA we understand that healthy gums and teeth are central to social communication and confidence. In fact, we believe a healthy mouth improves your overall quality of life.

Most people experience some form of gum disease at least once in their life and this disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults in the UK.

Good oral health is now recognised as being necessary for complete general health. Recent understanding now points to periodontal (gum) disease as an additional, independent risk factor for conditions such as diabetes, lung disease heart disease and stroke. Periodontal disease may also have connections with osteoporosis, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease, all of which are being researched.

More and more patients are coming to VIDA because they have been diagnosed with medical conditions which are associated with gum disease and they want to reduce the impact of poor gum health on their overall health.

Healthy gums are also needed before any restorative treatment or tooth straightening such as crowns or bridges, veneers, implants, whitening.
