Periodontal (Gum) Disease
in Tamworth

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, more commonly known as “gum disease”, are the terms used to describe a disease that attacks your soft tissue and gums in your mouth.
Gum disease can be divided into two categories:
- 1st stage – Gingivitis
- Advanced gum disease – Periodontitis
Since I have joined this dentist I have had excellent care and service.All the staff are very professional and they make sure everything is explained fully and the patients needs are met.I joined the practice with a serious gum problem and they helped me turn my life around with my issue.
What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis is what will form if the initial stage of gum disease is left untreated. The term Periodontitis does mean “inflammation around teeth”. This stage is very severe as it can lead to teeth eventually falling out. At this stage, you may notice more symptoms:
- Teeth feel loose
- Bad taste in mouth and bad breath
- Abscesses in gums
- Difficulty swallowing
- Receding gums
- Build up (excessive) of saliva
During the advanced stage of gum disease the bodies natural defence is for the gums to start to recede away from the infection – which is what loosens up the teeth, and eventually leading to tooth loss. The infection can grow along the gum line, causing the effects to spread to your whole mouth. Not only will the gums be effected, but it also attacks the supporting bone which can lead to bone loss, meaning it could effect the chance of having dental implants at a further date.

I recently had an urgent dental issue and turned to Ascent Dental Practice for the first time. I was impressed by their swift response in accommodating me. From the welcoming reception team to the skilled dentists, I was truly impressed by the outstanding service. After completing my pre-paid treatment with my current NHS dentist, I am seriously considering switching to Ascent without hesitation. A definite 10/10 in my book!
Would recommend 110%. I found the clinic based on the proximity to my house and Google reviews. Extremely good experience (especially considering you’re going to the dentist office!). I was booked for an emergency visit with Dr Jesal Savania, whom I would highly recommend. I had a wisdom tooth removal, which I didn’t expect to happen on the day of the visit. I had a similar procedure done 10 years ago, which was very painful and traumatic. Dr Savania is a compassionate, professional dentist who calmed me down and he did the procedure in record time, with absolutely no pain. I came back to Dr Savania a few weeks after for a general check up – he is probably the best dentist I have been too and will definitely go back.

My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.
It was 19 months ago.
My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.
The care is amazing.
All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.
Thank you
After having a previous bad experience with a dentist,I walked into Ascent a complete nervous wreck .From the moment I sat in reception I was calmly reassured . Had a consultation with a member of the team then walked jelly legged into see Jas.
I was reassured and talked through my options and what outcome I would wish for as well as a long term plan to improve my oral health and prolong the time of keeping my teeth before exploring other options.
I felt that at ease and comfortable that I agreed to an extraction of a wisdom tooth at this very first appointment rather than prolong to my next appointment.
Left with a huge grin on my face knowing I made the best choice coming to this dentist and looking forward to my next appointment.
I initially started with having the bottom teeth straightened. I was so pleased with the work and professional experience I rebooked and have had all my veneers replaced. I’m extremely happy with the way they look and would highly recommend this practice to anyone requiring dental treatment or cosmetic work.
I had a crown prep done today at Ascent and I can’t say enough good things. Didn’t even feel the injection to numb my mouth and the whole team made me feel at ease and calmed any nerves I had. Was a very easy process, and I was able to pay for the crown with their payment plan which made the whole thing a lot easier. Very happy with my choice to join this dentist a few months back. Definitely recommend.
I contacted Ascent Dental Care after my general dentist advised me that I needed root canal treatment, which they would be unable to carry out. I was looked after by Jesal, who put root canal fillings into 3 of my teeth, which was not a straightforward procedure, as they were crowned front teeth, and 2 of the crowns were some 25 years old. I can only say that he did an excellent job. He explained everything very thoroughly to me beforehand, and I was truly amazed at how little discomfort I felt when the work carried out. He is a really nice guy, who puts you totally at ease, and the nurses, reception and admin staff are all very friendly, polite and efficient.
I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent dental practice.
I was an extremely nervous patient but on both my visits I was put at ease and my treatment was pain free and better than I had ever thought possible. I will continue my future treatment with confidence. I cannot thank Ascent and Laura my dentist enough.
I recently had composite bonding treatment on my lower front teeth and i am very happy with the results. Laura was very professional and friendly and i would highly recommend this practice.

I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!
