If you could see the bacteria in your mouth… you’d book a dental or hygiene appointment right this minute.
Our Evesham dentists say keeping our mouths free from the bacteria that causes tooth decay takes effort. As well as brushing our teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, we should also use floss or interdental brushes daily to ensure the spaces between our teeth are spotless.
At Evesham Dental Health Team on Broadway Road, we are passionate about prevention, which means we aim to prevent problems from starting in the first place and certainly before they become painful and more expensive to treat.
We encourage our patients from across Evesham, Pershore, Stratford, Alcester and the surrounding villages to visit us regularly for dental and hygiene appointments to ensure the best care of their mouth. Did you know that visiting the dentist annually reduces the risk of tooth decay by 60%? We can’t help save your teeth without your help and commitment and regular visits provide an excellent opportunity for you to highlight any problems you may have.
Don’t ignore bleeding gums
If your ears started bleeding, you’d be at the doctors in a flash. Bleeding gums can be an early warning sign of more than 20 serious medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, strokes, some cancers, bacterial lung infections and problems with pregnancy.
Bacteria cause tooth decay: the bacteria produce acid that eats away at the tooth enamel leading to toothache. The best way to avoid getting toothache is to keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
Toothache often starts suddenly. The pain can vary from mild discomfort to excruciating pain felt as severe throbbing in your jaw and ear, which can either come and go or be constant. And compared to the price of a dental health review, it costs far more to return your mouth to its pain-free state – never mind the risk losing something integral to you that is irreplaceable.
We all live busy lives and understand that planning regular dental and hygiene visits into our packed diaries can pose problems. This is why we offer very convenient surgery hours, with early morning, evening and Saturday appointments available.
Our door is always open to welcome new patients and we look forward to meeting you and your family.
