What Supports Your Teeth

What supports each tooth beyond the visible crown? The supporting structures include the gum, the ligament that helps attach tooth to bone, the jaw bone and the cementum which covers the root.

Why does this matter for gum health? Changes in any of these supporting structures can contribute to loose teeth, gum pockets, gum recession or other signs that deserve assessment and monitoring.

The practice's gum disease treatment information explains the periodontal care available at Wycombe Dental Centre in High Wycombe.

Gum: soft tissue that seals and protects the tooth base
Periodontal ligament: fibres that connect tooth to bone
Bone: the jaw bone that supports tooth roots
Cementum: the surface layer covering the root
