I Am Looking For A Practice Which Offers BOST Treatment. Do You Know Of Any?

July 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi. Do you know of any practice that does BOST treatment? I have sore gums and have had different diagnosis from 4 different professionals including 2 dentists, 1 mouth specialist and 1 periodontics practice. I have been recommended for planning by the local periodontic specialist but want to investigate alternatives. The sore gums started about 9 months ago. Some days are worse than others but it is not preventing me from eating etc. I have tried mouthwash provided by my dentist, had antibiotics, 2 scales and polishes and gingigel. Thanks.

I Have Seen Two Dentist But I’m Still Losing Gum Tissue And Getting Blisters. Do You Have Any Further Suggestions?

April 14th, 2014
Q.

I am losing gum tissue & as well as getting blisters on the roof of my mouth. I have seen two dentists so far. I have tried using baking soda & salt instead of my tooth paste, I used Amazan, I even tried using peroxide but nothing seem to help. I brush my teeth daily and have regular cleaning & check ups so I don’t understand how this could have happened. I have had a deep cleaning & have been treated for ANUG. The medication seem to help but not cure. I was given more but it seems like my body has adapted to it and it did not continue to help. I am currently on a steroid (Oracort – Triamcinolone
acetonide) which gives some relief for the pain. I have had a biopsy done & the only thing it told me was that there were no cancer cells & is not vascular. Do you have any suggestions?

I think I could have Trench Mouth, is this disease serious?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

Hiya Dr Jose Zurdo, a few quick questions – I’ve recently developed very painful ulcers in my mouth and quite bad breath, I’m finding it very painful to brush my teeth and even eating. A friend told me it could be something known as Trench mouth or ANUG ? is this a real disease, i’ve never heard of it. My dentist can’t fit me in for a week or so, is there anything i can do to ease the pain? and if it is this disease is it very serious? Thank you.

How many visits to a periodontist would it take to clear gum disease?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I was first diagnosed with gum disease around four years ago. This has become advanced and has gradually got worse and I have had pus coming from the gum on several occasions and been given antibiotics. They are very painful constantly so I decided to visit another dentist who told me they would do no treatment while I had the gum disease and that it has caused bone loss and to visit a periodontist. I had initially visited to enquireabout having the teeth taken out and see whether I could have implants fitted instead. Could you please tell me how many visits to a periodontist it usually takes to clear the gum disease and could I have implants fitted to the affected area in future as these teeth originally had a bridge which has had the middle part removed to try and clear the gum disease. Thank you

Is gum disease causing my face to become inflamed and swell?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

Dr Dunn,

I have been suffering from what I think is severe gum disease. I have spoken with my dentist about the constant inflammation of the gums and pain to my right side of my face and was given amoxycillin. However I have been sufeering with this for years and the inflammation is getting worse causing slight disfiguration to the right side of my face where i have some missing and have a bridge in its place. Please could you advise on what I could do to remedy this situation once and for all as the pain is getting worse. Many thanks

My gums are tender and bleed from time to time, do I have gum disease?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hello there I have a question for you please, when considering the symptoms that you see everywhere on the web with respect also to this website, of gum disease. is there any other symptoms to look for? my gums are really tender and bleed if they are caught awkwardly with a brush or sharp bit of an apple even for example. I wanted to know if this could mean that I have gum disease I know that bleeding gums is one of the common signs of gum disease and I did ask if there was anything else I should look out for but this is because I do not have any of the other symptoms so I wanted to just look out for any other signs if there were any indeed. if there isn’t does this simply mean that I am at not at an advanced stage of gum disease? thank you for any response.
