I Have Bad Gum Recession And May Need Root Canal Treatment. What Would It Cost To Fix?

December 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, can you help me? I’m 24 and have bad gum recession around a number of teeth from gum disease. Mainly on 4 teeth at bottom and 3 on top. I went to my NHS dentist she wasn’t very friendly or helpful and told me to use Corsodyl toothpaste and mouthwash and go back in 6 months. She also mentioned I may need root canal treatment as more than 50% of my tooth is uncovered. Can anything be done or am I going to loose my teeth. Could you tell me what would it cost to fix?

My Wisdom Tooth Is Causing Me Agony And Painkillers Aren’t Working. What Should I Do?

December 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Dunn, I hope you can help me. I’m 17 years old and my wisdom teeth are coming through and have been for around six months now. They’re incredibly painful and causing me so much discomfort I can’t stand it anymore! It’s really affecting my whole life as I don’t want to go out because of the pain I’m in and it’s no use taking pain medication because it doesn’t work! Can you give me any advice on how to deal with them?! Thank you for your advice.

My Gums Are Receding And It’s Affecting My Smile. Is This Because I’m Pregnant?

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi. My gums are receding only at the top of my canines and its making the rest of my smile look horrible. I feel a gum graft is a little too extreme for my circumstances so can you recommend anything to at least slow down the process? It seems to have gotten a lot worse since becoming pregnant. I’ve spoken to my dentist who has told me to avoid brushing too harshly but I don’t think that’s the problem. Thank you for your time and help in advance!

Hello Dr Zurdo, I’m Brushing 3 Times A Day And Flossing In Between Meals. Should I Be Concerned?

December 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I hope you can help me. For one reason or another, over the past 2-3 months or so, I haven’t been looking after my teeth as well as I usually do. Still brushing but sometimes only once a day and not for very long. My gums have started to bleed when I brush them which has shocked me back into my old oral health regime. I’m brushing them 3 times a day and flossing in between meals and using mouth wash. But my teeth are still bleeding and my gums are red round my gum line and I’m convinced that my gums have started to recede on the bottom set of teeth. Does this sound like gum disease? Or just a lapse in oral health. Any advice you can give me would be great. Thanks, in advance.
