So, of the people who come to this practice, approximately 10% have genuinely complex gum problems that are difficult to manage and require special care. Approximately 90%, i.e. nearly all, do not have major gum disease.

Therefore, as many of us are likely to live well into our eighties and nineties and will want to eat effectively and smile confidently through all that time . . .
