I’m 72 Years Old And I Have A Loose Tooth Which Hurts When I Eat. What Would You Suggest For Me To Do?

July 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I would like some advice. I’m 72 years old and I have 2 pallets one on the top and one bottom. The one at the top as 4 teeth the one at the bottom has 2. The pallet at the bottom sits next to a tooth which is loose, and the gum on one side of my tooth has receded badly but the other side of the tooth is okay. The loose tooth is painful whenever I try to eat anything. I don’t like the thought of extraction. My dentist is NHS and he did say he could weld the loose to the good one. Do you know if this a good idea or not? Thank you for your time.

I’ve Been Told That Nothing Can Be Done About My Gum Disease. Is This Correct?

November 4th, 2013
Q.

I have had terrible pain in the upper and lower right side of my mouth in the gums and teeth for around 3 weeks and have been taking painkillers everyday to alleviate the pain. I have visited my dentist in the beginning and she has booked me in on Tuesday for a deep clean as she says it is tartar build up. I have had it confirmed that I have gum disease but have been told there is nothing that can be done. I am 45, I do not smoke, I brush and floss regularly and use Corsodyl daily. What worries me is that the pain is not confined to one tooth are but is the whole right side go my mouth.

Should I have laser surgery treatment to get rid of periodontal disease?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi there Jose! I was recently diagnosed with periodontal disease. I was told by my periodontist that laser surgery might be appropriate for my condition. I had a number of questions as I don’t know much about this type of treatment so my main concern was is it safe? Has this type of treatment been successful in the past? How long have they being using this type of treatment? Does it hurt? How many treatments on average to people need? How much does it cost? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
