Jayne's Story

Jayne's Story
Jayne was in her late fifties when she first came to Hest Bank Dental Care looking for a solution to her dental problem. She was very worried about her loose teeth, due to bone loss caused by gum disease, and was desperately concerned about losing all her teeth.

The Treatment
Having made a full diagnosis of chronic gum disease, often a genetic problem, and explained the problem to Jayne, we believed we could save her teeth. Jayne visits the hygiene therapist very regularly as part of her treatment, who has managed to save all Jayne’s teeth and nurse the support tissues back to health, as well as educate Jayne on how to maintain them at home.

The Outcome
Jayne has the same number of teeth as she did when she first saw us ten years ago. The prognosis for her teeth has turned around and, with the wonderful care they are given between Jayne at home and the hygiene therapist, she should maintain her fabulous smile for the rest of her life.

“After a previous dentist told me I would lose all my teeth due to poor gum condition, I came to Hest Bank Dental Care. 10 years on, thanks to the skill and care of my dentist and hygienist, I still have all my teeth and my gums are now in a good condition. Treatment has been intense at times but always carried out with great care and thoughtfulness. My hygienist is so gentle and, through all the treatments, has made sure that I am never in any pain. I’m just so grateful.”
