At Lagan Dental Care our aim is to help maintain happy healthy smiles for life. Routine, regular visits to our dentist and hygienist in Coatbridge are essential to allow us to identify and treat dental problems early or, if possible, prevent them altogether.
During your check-up you can expect:
Following examination our dentists will discuss potential treatment plans with you and arrange additional appointments for any work to be completed.
At Lagan Dental Care we believe prevention is better than a cure. Developing great oral hygiene is not only essential for the health of your teeth but for the foundations of your smile too. Hygiene visits are mainly concerned with preventative dental health and treatment of gum disease.
Healthy gums are the foundation to a healthy mouth.
Gum disease is the process by which the supporting structures of the teeth are lost and, if progresses, may lead to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss. Early, reversible, stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. It is caused by plaque and calculus accumulating along the gum line causing inflammation and irritation resulting in red bleeding gums. With support from our dedicated dentists and adequate home care, this may be reversed.
If early gum disease remains untreated it may progress to become periodontitis. Now irreversible, this may lead to gum recession, tooth mobility and eventual loss.
