This is despite three quarters of the adults surveyed claiming they cleaned their teeth twice a day. Studies such as this suggest there remains a lack of understanding of oral hygiene and gum disease among the general public. Cases of gum disease that are hereditary or that stem from underlying medical conditions, are rare. In the vast majority of cases, gum disease is the result of inadequate cleaning of the teeth and gums, leading to a build-up of plaque. To aid the education of patients, Blackwell Supplies has produced a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide called‘Are my gums healthy? – Advice on gum disease and its prevention.’ The guide explains the signs and symptoms of gum disease, the prime causes of problem gums and offers advice on effective prevention techniques. Blackwell Supplies is the trusted provider of quality specialist products for dental professionals, including Ledermix, Dentomycin and Nusonics NAC.
