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 got recommended by a family member to come here and it was honestly the best decision I’ve made! The whole team are just amazing. Jay is absolutely wonderful! Such a caring, attentive and thorough dentist who makes me feel so heard and looked after whilst I’m with him. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend this practice if you’re looking for first class treatment 😊

I had been advised by my previous dentist that implants were probably not an option for me after losing several teeth. I decided to pursue looking for an implant specialist in the Tamworth area where I now lived. Finding Ascent and reading the very positive reviews I arranged a free consultation with Faresh. After a very informative discussion a treatment plan was put together for me detailing all the options available.
I was delighted to know that in fact I was suitable for implants and made a decision to go ahead. I was guided by Faresh and his team as to what would happen at each stage of my treatment plan. My implant journey began in December 2020 during Covid times and everyone at the practice were meticulous with cleanliness procedures providing reassurance to the patients.
It is now April 2021 and my implants are in and looking and feeling AMAZING!! I can now smile once again with pride and confidence. It is one of the best things that I have done and thank Faresh and his exceptional team for the kindness care and guidance that I received.
THANK YOU.
I can’t recommend this dentist enough! I was petrified of any dentist and would walk and cry and run out! Since finding Ascent dental care, I have never been more comfortable! Since starting jay has been nothing but reassuring! I have now started my Invisalign journey! Having various different treatments and seeing the hygienist I feel so much more relaxed! The receptionist Kathryn always greets everyone with a smile and so does the other girls on the front desk! I honestly can’t thank this dentist enough!
Would recommend 100%. Such friendly and kind staff who made the experience so much better. Big thank you to Charlotte who I had most of my appointments with she was so kind and made me feel so comfortable and the fact that she tried so hard and get an appointment to get my braces off before prom into a busy schedule I will forever be grateful as I had a smile I was confident with at prom. I am happy with the results so thank you everyone at ascent :)
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
I have always been nervous to have Invisalign and visited Ascent Dental Care apprehensively, unsure if braces were right for me. Rachel and Gursh have both been incredibly lovely and put my mind at ease. The practice uses all the latest equipment (Dental Monitoring is the way forward!) which is allowing me to complete me treatment time far faster than elsewhere! So far I can not fault the team, thank you so much
Ascent are definitely a dental surgery with a difference. Great service and Jay is not only a highly skilled dentist but also an excellent communicator. He keeps you advised of his processes throughout your visits and along with his assistants works hard to keep you relaxed.
Well done all excellent…..
Best dentist in Tamworth, beautiful inside and staff are so friendly and attentive. So glad I decided to get my Invisalign here
If you are looking for any cosmetic or orthodontist treatment come here!
Great service from this pratice, had composite bonding done by james and he couldnt of done a better job! Also had a retainer made and got it the next day thanks to the dental nurse emily. Can highly reccomend this pratice!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Help you to feel comfortable and always do a great job! I’m having some cosmetic work done with them shortly very excited about this. I know my teeth will look fantastic! 😊 I will put on another review once they are finished so you can all see their amazing work.
I broke my tooth at 16.20 on the 15-04-21 & after a phonecall to Ascent I was in the chair by 17.05 having an emergency temporary filling by Laura.
The whole team are just pure perfection, absolutely faultless
Thank you so much laura & the team for sorting me out so quickly, youre amazing & a credit to your profession
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 came to Tamworth 5 years ago with a real fear of dentists. As I needed to find a new practise I eventually plucked up courage to attend Ascent Dental Care.
I can honestly say, they have been amazing. From the reception team, especially Kathryn to my current dentist, Laura, I now have no fear of going for any treatment. They are extremely patient focused and excellent in caring for the most scared individuals. Would 100% recommend-give them a try-you won’t regret it :-)
