I Have Two False Teeth And When I Brush My Mouth Sometimes Bleeds Uncontrollably. Have My False Teeth Not Healed After Two Years?

January 20th, 2014
Q.

Hi. I have two false teeth due to no teeth being/growing there at all either side of my front teeth which are capped onto the teeth either side one of the false teeth of which is causing concern. It bleeds a lot whilst brushing sometimes it can fill my mouth uncontrollably and other times it’ll be very little blood it always tastes of blood and the gum above is of different colour to my others. I brush regularly and use mouthwash and I’d like to know what could this be? I’ve always worried that when I had them my gum was cut and burnt away to allow room for the false tooth that it was damaged and never really healed as I’ve had them for two years now?

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?

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.

I’m Finding It Very Hard To Prevent Gum Disease, Can You Tell Me If I Can Get Treated Through The NHS?

November 11th, 2013
Q.

I recently visited my dentist for my regular check up, unfortunately each time I visit keep I being told that my gums are receding and also the reduction of bone surrounding the teeth have also receded. This despite my diligence in brushing/flossing my teeth 2/3 times a day. I have also been told that I could also eventually lose my teeth which I am trying very hard to prevent. I would like to have an assessment to see what can be done to prevent further damage. Can you please advise whether I am able to get my gums treated on the NHS or privately. Thank you for your help and advice.

Hi Dr Zurdo, I Think I’m Suffering From Gum Disease, Would You Recommend Any Home Remedies?

October 21st, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I think I’m suffering from gum disease, my gums are sore and starting to bleed. I have had this for a few months now but I didn’t think to much of it until recently. The gums on my top four front teeth have always been a little red but I have noticed this more so recently, also I find myself getting a lot of plaque on these teeth as well. I’m finding that my breath is also starting to smell because of this. I was wondering if there was a cure for this that I could try at home?

October 15th, 2012
Q.

Hi, can you help please. I had a pain on the left side of my mouth, I think I had a small ulcer which has now gone by using an antibacterial mouthwash. However the pain is now the right side {top} of my mouth. The pain is quite bad when I chew. I cant quite pinpoint whether it’s my teeth or gums which are hurting. I’m unable to feel a hole in the tooth, I do not have any redness, swelling or abcess on the gum. Is there anything I can try before I see my dentsist? Thank you in advance

My daughter doesn’t eat a balanced diet and i notice her gums bleed when she brushes, what do you recommend?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hello Jose, hope your doing well. I’m just a bit concerned about my daughters gums, she really doesn’t eat a balanced diet with fruit and veg and i know this can be bad for teeth and gums. We try so hard to make her eat the healthy stuff but she wont have it. Just wondering if there are any tablets or vitamins that would help her a little bit with what she’s lacking? I notice when she brushes her teeth a touch of blood sometimes comes out, this can’t be a good sign! Look forward to hearing from you!
