A. Many thanks for your e-mail, usually when a patient is having continual problems with gum infections their dentist will recommend that they see a dental hygienist. In the beginning the visits may be quite regular, and on improvement of the condition the hygienist may recommend regular visits although with slightly less frequency. You can find your local NHS dentist by visiting NHS Direct or by contacting your local Primary Care Trust. I recommend that you visit a dental professional at your earliest convenience. Many Thanks.
