Signs Of Gum Disease

Gum Disease is very avoidable. It’s usually the case of bad hygiene and oral health. Gum disease is where the gums become swollen, red, sore and bleed. It can be prevented by brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing and getting regular checkups and dental hygiene appointments.

Signs of Gum Disease

Signs and Symptoms of gum disease can include:

  • Swollen or inflamed gums
  • Gums that bleed easily

  • Bright red/purple coloured gums
  • Bad Breath
  • Pus between gums and teeth
  • Loose teeth/loss of teeth

Typical Causes of Gum Disease

Gum Disease, also known as Periodontitis is a serious gum infection which damages the soft tissue around the teeth. It tends to start with plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance made up of bacteria from the mouth. Here’s how Plaque can develop into Periodontitis:

  • Plaque, which forms on your teeth when sugars and starches in food cause a reaction with the bacteria, likely to be come in your mouth. Make sure you are brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day to prevent this from happening.
  • Tartar, which is plaque that hardens under the gumline and turns into tartar. It is very difficult to remove, you need professional dental cleaning to remove it. Plaque and tarter can do a lot of damage the longer it stays on your teeth as they’re filled with bacteria.
  • Gingivitis, which is the mildest form of gum disease. Gingivitis is swelling and irritation of the gum tissue around the base of your teeth. It can be solved professionally with a dentist and good home oral care as early as possible as it can lead to bone loss.
  • Periodontitis, which is caused by swelling of the gum, gum irritation and inflammation. Over time this causes deep pockets to form between your gums and teeth, these are filled with plaque, bacteria and tartar. if not treated, it can cause the loss of tissue and bone.

Have you heard of the “Salmon Sperm Facial”?

Polynucleotides

It’s all the facial aesthetics industry is talking about at the moment, but Polynucleotides (known in the media as the “salmon sperm facial after a famous celebrity interview”!) are a regenerative skin therapy with fantastic natural results. They have actually been used around the world in medicine for over 40 years, with extensive research undertaken for numerous applications including bio-regeneration of the skin, improvement of several skin conditions, promoting antioxidant effects, and wound healing.

Who do Polynucleotides work for?

Polynucleotides are a treatment that can benefit almost everyone, and are an incredibly safe treatment with minimal risks and incredible benefits for your skin.

If you suffer from

  • Dark circles under the eyes
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne scarring
  • Menopause-related skin changes
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hair loss
  • Sun damage
  • Crepey skin
  • Tired, dull skin across the face, neck and body
  • Thinning skin
  • Rosacea

Then polynucleotides could be the ideal treatment for you. The science behind Polynucleotides Polynucleotides are a bio-stimulator of the skin. They are highly purified DNA fragments, isolated from trout and salmon sperm as this is known to contain high levels of the protein arginine which is renowned for its regenerative effects. Polynucleotides are injected into the skin in lots of tiny ‘blebs’, and stimulate our own skin cells (known as fibroblasts) to produce collagen and elastin and regenerate the skin on a cellular level. This improves tissue regeneration, skin tone, elasticity, hydration and has an antioxidant effect, making the skin look and feel healthier.

What is the treatment process?


Polynucleotide therapy requires a course of 3 to 4 injection treatments, every 3 to 4 weeks,
and the cellular changes take around 4 to 5 weeks to start to kick in to see results. The results are long lasting, and a further single injection treatment to combat any new cell damage accumulated over time is recommended every 6-8 months, depending on your individual results.
