Is There An Alternative To Flap Surgery Which Is Less Painful?

March 3rd, 2014
Q.

I am 38 years old and have gum disease. My teeth are healthy but my gums are not. I now several ‘pockets’ and receding gums. I also now have a loose back tooth. I am desperate to see if someone can be done. I have searched lots of things on the internet. I do not really want ‘flap’ surgery as it sounds quiet traumatic! I understand that I could have laser treatment or BOST? Please could you let me know your opinion on the best treatment available? Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.

Q.

Hi, Please can you help me. I am only 26 years old and I believe I have gum disease. I have always brushed my teeth twice a day and went to the dentist every 6 months up until the age of 18. 6 months ago my gum became painful, swollen and then receded a great deal. It was one tooth and is the front bottom one in the middle. As I was working away in Japan for 6 months I could not visit my dentist. I went to my dentist last week. She said I had the early stages of gum disease and cleaned my teeth. Since then I have also switched to using an electric tooth brush and use corsodly mouth wash. Now over the last 3 days several of my other teeth on the front have become painful and bleed. I’m really upset about it and want to know what your advice would be. I will call my dentist and go again. I’m sure the new problem gum area will get better but I am worried about the first tooth where the gum has receded. Would you recommend that I ask my dentist about BOST? Where abouts in the country can I get this treatment, how do I go about getting it and how much would it cost?
Thank you so much for your time and help!

I’ve fought off gum disease once before only to see it return, Could you inform me about the BOST procedure and will it prevent gum disease from coming back?

Q.

I have been reading about gum disease treatments on the web and have found that many people have fought off gum disease only to see it return. I then found out about BOST or BOSA something like this, that is meant to help you steer clear of meeting again. I had never heard of this before. I have myself gotten rid of gum disease once already and would do anything to prevent it coming back, could you inform me what this procedure is if youve heard of it? thanks
