General dentistry at Epping Beyond Dental focuses on preventing gum disease and tooth decay, which is why regular check-ups with your dentist are so essential. When things go wrong, however, we need to deal with the problem quickly.
Gum treatments, tooth extractions and caring for wisdom teeth are some of our frequent procedures, so let’s take a look at each of these in turn.
Gum treatments at
EPPING BEYOND DENTAL
Gum disease is an inflammation or infection of your gums, typically caused by poor oral hygiene. More specifically, poor brushing and flossing allows plaque (bacteria) to build up on your teeth and form a hard surface that’s difficult to remove. The easiest way to avoid gum disease is to have your teeth regularly inspected and cleaned by your dentists.
Our gum treatment consists of a deep cleaning using root planing and dental scaling to both treat and prevent the spread of gum disease. These procedures can be uncomfortable, so if your teeth are very sensitive, we can apply a local anaesthetic to your gums and tooth roots while the procedures are performed.

Tooth extractions
and wisdom teeth
Whilst we much prefer to save your teeth, there are instances when they can’t be saved, resulting in an extraction. Impacted wisdom teeth often result in pain and infection, as well as damage to adjacent teeth, tooth decay and gum disease. Sometimes, however, wisdom teeth grow in normally and pose no problems.
At EPPING BEYOND DENTAL, we will examine your wisdom teeth to ensure that they are growing normally, and if not, discuss a number of solutions, one of which is a safe extraction.
