Understanding Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment addresses gum disease at all stages, focusing on protecting teeth and supporting structures.

Combined with personalised oral hygiene advice, regular monitoring, and maintenance, periodontal care at Polegate Dental Practice helps preserve natural teeth and enhance overall gum function.
