County Road Dental Practice

County Road Dental Practice - Best Dental Clinic in Liverpool was founded by Mr Brian O’Gorman (known to many as BOG) and built up to the thriving place it is today. The ownership has changed recently and it is now owned and run by Paul and Sinead Geoghegan, however, Brian continues to work at the practice and remains as big a part of it as ever. Paul has been in the practice for 16 years himself. He and Sinead are investing in the practice to ensure it continues to provide high quality dental services. If you have noticed your gums bleeding or looking red rather than pink in colour, this often means your gums are inflamed. Your dentist will also be able to spot if gums are inflamed and will let you know if this is the case. If the gums are inflamed for a prolonged period of time, this will need to be treated to prevent tooth loosening and tooth loss. Your dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth to remove any plaque and tartar both above and below the gumline, especially hidden inside any gum pockets. They will also discuss with you exactly the procedures required for your home oral hygiene. The success of the treatment relies very heavily on your motivation and oral hygiene regime at home. The success of treatment depends on the risk factors. The most important are oral hygiene and smoking, although genetics and diabetes also have effects. In any case, the better these factors are controlled, the more stable the disease will be, and the longer it will be before teeth start to come loose. Teeth can be damaged by decay, fracture, erosion or attrition. A damaged tooth will need to be repaired to prevent it from getting worse and causing more serious problems.
