Why Milnrow patients choose us for hygiene and gum treatment
Milnrow residents have an easy run to us past Hollingworth Lake, and the M62 at junction 21 makes us handy for anyone who commutes. We see people from across Milnrow, from Kiln Lane to Newhey Road, for everything from routine check-ups to implants and straightening.
Even with careful brushing, plaque hardens into tartar in places a toothbrush cannot reach. Over time it irritates the gums, causing bleeding, bad breath and, eventually, gum disease, which is the most common reason adults lose teeth.
We offer a straightforward scale, air polishing to lift stubborn tea, coffee and smoking stains, and periodontal (gum) treatment for people whose gums need more care.

Signs your gums need attention
Bleeding
Pink in the sink when you brush or floss is often the first sign of gum inflammation.
Bad breath
Breath that stays stale despite brushing can be a sign of bacteria below the gum line.
Receding gums
Teeth that look longer, or are suddenly sensitive at the gum line.
Loose teeth
Teeth that feel wobbly or have started to drift apart need checking promptly.
