Bleeding gums when you brush
Gum disease treatment clears the infection out from under your gumline. Treatment starts from £196. You get a written plan and a fixed price before anything starts.
Gums that bleed are telling you something
Most people who come in about their gums have been rinsing the sink out for months first. Nobody here is going to tell you off.
You stop watching the sink every morning. You keep your own teeth, and your breath stops being something you think about.

"After being panicked by the wonderful google about having a deep clean! I was pleasantly surprised by the length of time it took! The whole experience was not what I was expecting! All staff at Tower Dental are kind, caring and very pleasant! It is always a pleasure to go there! I used to be a very nervous patient but thanks to Tower I can now say that I feel comfortable in every way going to the dentist! Never thought I would say that. Thanks everyone"

What is gum disease, and what does it do?
Gum disease (periodontitis (advanced gum disease)) is a long-term infection caused by bacteria. It attacks the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place. It makes the gums sore and swollen. They bleed and start to shrink back. It also causes bad breath that will not go away. In the advanced stages you lose bone around the roots. Teeth then become loose and can be lost. About half of UK adults have it to some degree. It is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the UK. At Tower Dental Blackpool we diagnose it with full periodontal charting. Periodontal means the gum and bone around your teeth. Charting means measuring the gap around each tooth. We also do plaque scoring and check your bone levels on an X-ray. So you can see exactly where your gums stand before we talk about treatment.
Healthy gums are the foundation of every healthy smile.

I am nervous about gum treatment — can Tower Dental help?
What makes Tower Dental in Blackpool different?
Tower Dental Blackpool — Why We Are Different
All that postgraduate training is right here at our Blackpool practice. It helps every patient who comes to us. It is true whether you come for a routine examination or emergency treatment. The same goes for dental implants. And for composite bonding, which is tooth-coloured filling material shaped onto your teeth. We base our clinical decisions on strong evidence. We pick the materials carefully to suit each case. We give you the time your case needs. We do not cut it short to fit an NHS appointment schedule.
Patient-First Philosophy at Tower Dental Blackpool
Our philosophy is simple. We make every clinical decision in your best long-term interest. We do not pick the option that earns us the most per appointment. So we tell you honestly when you do not need treatment. We tell you when a cheaper option will give the same result as a dearer one. We tell you when your case is better handled elsewhere. We then refer you to the right specialist. We also tell you what results to expect in real life. That includes the limits of the treatment and the upkeep it will need. We do not oversell results.
This honesty matters to us. It is the base of the trust our patients place in us. The 5-star patient reviews on Google for Tower Dental say the same things again and again. They mention the team's honesty. They mention the lack of pressure. They mention how clearly we explain things, and the genuine care shown all the way through. Patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire keep coming back to us. They send their family and friends too. That is not down to marketing or special offers. It is because the care here is really patient-focused.
