I Have Recently Stopped Smoking But My Teeth Have Now Begun To Bleed From Time To Time. What Should I Do?

February 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas I hope you can help me. I have recently stopped smoking and have been doing very well. I’ve always visited hygienists and dentists as often as I could because of this as I still wanted to maintain good oral health. However, I’ve noticed that since stopping that my gums are bleeding. It’s only a few spots here and there so do you think I should be concerned about this and what would you recommend I do about this? Thank you for your time.

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.

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 Suffer From Depression And Would Like To Know If Stress Can Impact On Overall Oral Health?

January 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Dunn, recently I have been suffering from severe depression. I have always maintained the best oral hygiene but noticed that my gums are bleeding when I brush them now. Can stress actually have an impact on your oral health? Do you think it could be something to do with the medication I have been prescribed? My gums also appear to be quite red, I don’t know what course of action I could take, do you have any advice for me? Thanks for your time.

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.

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.

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?
