Gum disease – Covid 19

Gum disease could increase complications with Covid 19

COVID 19 has affected many people with a varying intensity of symptoms. A recent study has shown that COVID 19 patients who also had gum disease were 4.5 times more likely to require a ventilator during their treatment. The study also found that compared to patients with healthy gums those with gum disease were nine times more likely to die during their fight with the virus. These are scary statistics, and they really highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth.

You may ask how can the two conditions be connected? Gum disease is an inflammatory condition, and the study suggested the high level of inflammatory markers in the blood of those with gum disease may be the explanation behind the increase in complications.

Many common health issues that people experience, such as diabetes and heart disease, also have proven links to poor gum health. Again, the common factor is thought to be increased inflammation in the bloodstream.

If you are worried that you may have poor gum health, the best people to help are dental hygienists. Their main focus is on helping people improve their gum health by providing gum treatments and assisting them to understand how their daily activities can hinder or help their mouth health.

If you would like to see a hygienist, please give us a call on 01275 842550, we are open and Covid compliant, you don’t need to be a registered patient.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.

Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.

For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.

If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.

Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.

After completing her Invisalign treatment with Yasmin, she now loves smiling with confidence and showing her teeth.

We’re so pleased to have been part of her journey - and grateful for her lovely recommendation of Evolve Dentistry.

Can cosmetic dentistry improve your confidence?

In this video, Carol answers a question we hear often - and for many patients, the answer is yes.

Feeling confident in your smile can have a real impact on how you feel day to day. Cosmetic dentistry can help improve concerns such as tooth colour, shape, spacing or worn edges, while keeping results natural and suited to you.

Every smile is different, which is why treatment always starts with understanding your goals and recommending the most appropriate options.

If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, our team at Evolve would be happy to help.
