July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas, I want to know what treatment I would need to take to stop my teeth from coming loose. Some of my teeth are loose and also missing. I want to replace them so that I can smile again. I am 28 year old and I do not know why this happening. I have visited some dentists and they do not know what I can do and don’t offer me any treatment. Please help me. I also want to send you my X-ray of teeth to understand my case. I hope to hear your reply soon. Thank you for your time.

Are My Headaches Being Caused By My Periodontal Disease?

May 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi. Is it possible to suffer from headaches due to having periodontal gum disease? I have recently been diagnosed with this condition and having read a bit more about it would like to ask what would be the best way to prevent further damage to gums and bone to prevent tooth loss? My dentist has suggested using various mouthwash and brushing more often but my condition is quite severe and I would like to know if the BOST treatment would be the best option or the regular treatment. According to my dentist and having seen recent X-rays the bone has significantly receded by around 6mm which suggest a very serious problem could you please be able to give me more advice and an opinion on how you would seem the best treatment to suit my condition? Thank you!!

I Don’t Think My Dentist Scales My Teeth Right. I’m Trying To Stop My Gums From Receding. What Can I Do?

January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I have gum disease and my gums have receded exposing some root and they occasionally bleed. I use corsodyl mouthwash and colgate pro gum health toothpaste. My dentist tells me that my gums are healthy? He recommended using an interdental brush to floss with.  When he scales them he only does the front teeth which I don’t think is right. I feel film on back teeth but I don’t like to say. Is this correct? Also, what treatments are available for gum disease as I am doing all I can brushing wise but my gums obviously aren’t that healthy as they recede. I would appreciate some advice, many thanks.

My Gums Keep Bleeding And All My Dentist Tells Me Is To Change My Brush. But It Isn’t Working? What Else Can I Do?

November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Dunn, I’m 27 years old and I had noticed over the last few months that my teeth been bleeding when ever I have brushed them. They’re not particularly sore at all they just bleed. So I went to my dentist and he told me to change my brush to a softer one. I went back after 6 weeks with the bleeding not any better and my dentist then told me I was brushing too hard. My teeth are bleeding and changing my brush or softening my brushing technique is not making a difference. Is my dentist right or is there something else I can do about this. I’m concerned that it may progress to gum disease. Thank you.
