For many people finding an NHS dentist in their town is very difficult if not impossible. However in Exmouth dentists are providing NHS treatment everyday. This is certainly a big bonus to living down on the Devon coast.
An Exmouth Dentist Smile!
Everyone understands the importance of good mouth health. The 2 main problems are tooth decay and gum disease.
With tooth decay the hard surface of the tooth (the enamel) is damaged by bacteria. This eventually leads to decay, which causes the classic toothache.
By that stage the only treatment is to remove the tooth. You are left with a gap in your teeth.
Gum disease happens almost unnoticed. It seldom causes any pain but if left untreated causes the gums to recede. Your teeth become loose and eventually fall out.
Also there is now strong evidence that people with gum disease have a much higher risk of suffering major illness such as diabetes, heart disease and early labour.
In the last few years there has been a major problem with the supply of dentistry on the NHS. Fortunately in Exmouth dentists are available to register for on the NHS. This at least means you can have regular check ups and maintain your teeth in mint condition. You will be able to receive good dental care and advice
