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 Had A Root Canal And My Remaining Tooth Fell Out. A Hole Has Appeared. Why?

January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I lost my back molar some time ago due to the tooth breaking in half after a while the tooth became painful and the dentist did root canal, however the left over remains of the tooth fell out and in the space where the tooth was a hole has developed in the gum. The gum is now wearing down and the hole is getting deeper and wider. The teeth either side of the hole seem fine and the gum does not hurt and is not inflamed or discoloured in anyway. What do I do about the hole and why has it formed what can I do to stop the gum from wearing away? Thank you for your time. I hope you can offer your advice.

Can You Tell Me If I Can Completely Cure My Periodontal Disease?

November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I have periodontal and I’m currently getting treatment, I have bad breath too. Does the disease completely cure after treatment and does the bad breath ever go away completely?

I have also read here that you brush after breakfast, I do brush as soon as I get out of bed then have my breakfast and after about an hour I use my mouthwash before I leave the house? Is this wrong, should I first have breakfast then brush my teeth? I hope you can help me with this problem.

Around my upper left teeth my gums seem swollen, they are not painful but is this gum disease?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I notice small swollens on my gum on the upper left teeth. Which i did not even feel until my finger goes into my mouth. It is not painful except i touched it hard with my finger . It never gives any discomfort whatsoever. Is it an infection or gum disease. What treatment do you recommend.
I brush my teeth regularly and has been taken my hygiene seriously. Though i have a tooth removed due to absceess two years ago . Since then i have seen the dentist for general checking and cleaning. And it has been ok. But few days ago i was trying to remove some reminanant of food from the corner of my mouth and suddenly notice swollen which was painless except touched very hard. I do not normally feel anything except i put my finger in my mouth. It has not cause me any pain what soever . I feel like the swollen is gradually subsiding but i still feel i should see the dentist because the teeth is due for cleaning as well.
