What is gum disease

  • There are various symptoms of gum disease.

    Bleeding gums, redness, swelling, achy discomfort or wobbly teeth. Over time, gum disease leads to a loss of the bone that supports the teeth (their foundations) and they become loose or fall out.

  • Many factors contribute to gum disease, but a major contributing factor is dental plaque.

    Plaque is a soft material that looks like a thin layer of mashed potato, which sits at the junction of your tooth and gum. It contains a matrix with millions of bacteria (70% bacteria, 30% glycoproteins and polysaccharides). You could wipe if off with a towel it is that soft. However a toothbrush is better designed to get into all the nooks and crannies!

  • As soon as you brush off the plaque layer, it is already starting to rebuild itself again.

    So ensure you keep up a good routine of daily cleaning to prevent its build-up. Cleaning our teeth twice a day with a brush (and something to get between each one too), helps to ensure we continually remove the plaque film.

so much pain over Christmas ending in A&E desperate for a dentist due to my abscess that infected through to my sinus. My regular dentist could not extract my tooth however referred me here. There are no words to say how impressed I am and so very grateful to Roger James that rushed me as soon as possible to his colleague Dr murray, that very day. I am a very nervous person when my teeth are involved, and having a large extraction especially very very worrying. My experience on Wednesday was utterly incredible. I did not feel a thing, and I felt Dr murray was such a perfectionist with making sure ALL the Infection was gone, I cannot tell you all how relieved I felt. I have booked my next appointment for Roger to discuss my future plans. My way forward is an implant and I trust this practice implicitly. Thank you all for making me feel safe and most of all pain free.

Today, I visited Market House Surgery for the first time, and My Murray for the second, the first when he practiced in Rustington. I would like to thank all the team for their friendliness and professionalism, and, in particular, Mr Murray. I needed a further extraction and was dismayed when my dentist advised he had moved, having had, for the first time in my life, a completely painless extraction some two years ago. She kindly said that if he was on their list for referrals, then she would refer me. Fortunately for me he was, and today was a further masterclass in his art with a second pain free treatment, Mr Murray, Sir, you are a true professional in every sense, and a guy at the very top of your game. May I thoroughly commend your services to all, and I thank you and your team sincerely. John Follows

Have been with this practice for many years and have always received the best care to keep my ageing gnashers in tip top condition!!!! The ground crew are always friendly and efficient, even more so now with the CoVid19 restrictions. Roger is very thorough, spends a great deal of time with inspections and explains any treatment required with the aid of x-rays and photos. I have previously and recently had a lot of work done and have received excellent care and service. No more nerves, recline the chair, request your favourite music and relax in the knowledge you will leave feeling a lot better!!! Top marks all round to everyone at Market House.

A very professional, friendly and efficient dental practice. Roger Scholes and his staff provide an excellent service. I cannot fault the attention to detail throughout my two implant procedures which were not always straightforward. I have no hesitation in recommending Market House Dental Practice.

Roger Scholes has done some exceptional work. I can now chew on both sides without discomfort for the first time since a teenager and can smile without self-consciousness. Roger takes great care in thinking through the most appropriate treatment and explaining options. He is supported by a most helpful and friendly team. I can thoroughly recommend Market House Dental Practice

I cannot recommend this dentist practice enough. I was really quite apprehensive about the course of treatment that was being carried out, but Roger Scholes and his colleagues made me feel completely at ease the whole time. There were plenty of procedures put in place to deal with the “new normal” and I am so happy with the results of the treatment!

What is involved in a hygienist appointment

What is involved in a hygienist appointment

We treat adults and children. Our dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists work closely with you to help treat problems such as stain removal, bleeding or swollen gums, bad breath or tastes and loose teeth.

The 1st session often involves recording your present gum health so there is a benchmark to measure how successful treatment is, taking x-rays and establishing what course of treatment to arrange. You will also be shown how to look after your mouth. This will include brushing, cleaning between your teeth and diet advice, smoking cessation and anything in your medical history that may make you more susceptible to gum disease. For example, diabetes or smoking.

Once clean, you will see and feel the difference in your smile! You will feel more confident inside, knowing you have a clean and healthy mouth.

For those patients looking to remove the toughest stains caused by day to day drinking, eating and smoking, we are able to offer air polishing treatment. This is also an ideal treatment for those who experience dental anxiety or have sensitive teeth since it is a particularly gentle procedure.

Our success stories

The problem

At 86 years old, Sheila had always felt the white fillings she received in order to close a space between her upper front teeth, could look more aesthetically pleasing. Sheila visited the practice to find out how our dentist could help.

The solution

We advised Sheila on how we could remove the old, stained white fillings – not only on her lateral incisor tooth but also on the central incisor tooth next to it – and polish them back to their natural surface again. We explained how this would give us the space to simply re-apply composite bonding (a white filling) to the lateral incisor tooth. No drilling would be necessary for this procedure, and Sheila was happy to go ahead with the treatment.

The problem

13-year old Polly came to the surgery after her new adult upper lateral incisor teeth had failed to come through in the correct shape and size, giving a rather spiky appearance. Her teeth had also been straightened by her orthodontist, which had left Polly with some spaces between her teeth.

The solution

We discussed the treatment options with Polly; either to restore the tooth with a laboratory-made porcelain veneer or crown, or a simple bond composite (white filling) applied to her two upper lateral front teeth. Polly opted for treatment which meant that no tooth structure would need to be removed, and bond composite (white filling material) was applied to her two upper lateral front teeth.
