What is gum disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but preventable oral health condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, where plaque bacteria build up along the gum line, causing inflammation, redness, and bleeding—especially during brushing or flossing. At this early stage, gum disease is reversible with good oral hygiene, professional cleaning, and regular dental hygienist visits. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into advanced periodontal disease, where the gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that trap bacteria. Over time, this can lead to infection, gum recession, persistent bad breath, and damage to the underlying bone. As bone loss worsens, teeth may become loose, shift position, or even fall out. Early diagnosis and treatment by a dental professional are essential to prevent long-term complications and maintain healthy gums and teeth.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I cannot rate Lucia Palladino highly enough. I’ve had hygienist treatments with Lucia for the last 8 months or so and in that short period of time, the treatment has been so successful, I may be the first person ever to say I wanted to give my hygienist a hug!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I’ve been a patient here for many years and have complete trust in the team for their skills, range of services and attention to detail. I have moved a long way away from the surgery but have never considered changing dentists. Also a special mention to Molly on the reception desk. Molly is so friendly, attentive and always gives everyone a warm welcome. I have observed that she goes out of her way for everyone to make sure their needs and queries are met. In a wold where service is being more and more dehumanised, Molly does the exact opposite, and provides such a genuine, authentic human experience for everyone ..

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I’ve just finished a course of dental treatment with Kirrit Johal and really pleased with the results. I’ve been with Claremont for over 20 years and have always found the front staff, nurses, and the dentists to be very friendly and professional. Highly recommended. 😊

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Love Claremont practice, the dentists and hygienists are all excellent. I broke my tooth just after Christmas and they were able to arrange an emergency appointment to fix it. The admin is well managed with regular appointment reminders. The best thing of all is that they take NHS appointments. 100% recommend.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Don’t normally do this sort of thing - let alone for a trip to the dentist - but wanted to sing the praises for my hygienist Lucia today. Great job - and without the usual discomfort. Won’t go as far as saying I look forward to my next visit - but I know it’ll be fine with this hygienist.
