August 27th, 2014
Q.

Dear Dr Dimitrios Mitsas, I go to the dentist regularly for my check-ups but they have never said anything about gum disease or anything about my receding gums. I didn’t notice my gums had receded till recently my front right tooth is wobbly and as the days go by it is becoming more loose also is very receded, I went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and they never said anything about my gums I have booked my self in to see the dentist again because I am worried about my teeth falling out as I’m only 18 could you help me. Thank you.

I Have Been To My Dentist For A Year To Try And Get My Gum Disease Under Control, But Things Are Getting Worse. Should I Turn To Surgery?

August 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi. I’m 25 years old
I have been going to my dentist now for over a year for deep cleans etc to treat my gum disease. My gums are receding and my bone is weakening I have one wobbly tooth at the front on the bottom row and my top front two teeth have considerably moved and I am desperate for a brace, yet I am not allowed any orthodontist works till my gum disease has cleared. I feel I am not improving and when my dentist does the measurements I was told some are worsening others improving. I have never missed a day brushing my teeth twice or more and I just can’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Is there any surgery I can have to get my teeth looking better as I hate my smile?

My Dentist Was Inconsiderate Over My Gum Disease And I Don’t Think They Did Enough. What Do You Suggest I Do?

October 28th, 2013
Q.

I have been informed I have gum disease I’m feeling really down about it to be honest. I felt like the dentist was quite inconsiderate about it, and recommended a scale and a polish and to purchase an electric tooth brush and floss. Surely if I have a disease then I need further treatment? I went to the dentist as I was in the process of eating and there was a stone in my food which I had purchased from a supermarket, my tooth bit into the stone and has made the tooth quite loose at the back. I thought by going to the dentist she would be able to fix it or give me good advice, but instead asked me if I wanted it removed? Maybe my expectations were high but I thought she would try to fix my tooth not the choice of removal or just leave it loose? Thanks so much in advance.

My top teeth feel a little wobbly, should I be worried?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have recently seen a dentist despite not seeing him for 8-10 years as I suffer from extreme health anxiety which leaves me incapacitated. During this period i had the odd bleeding gums during brushing but nothing extreme, no pain etc. When I saw the dentist last month he said everything looked great and that my teeth and gums were fine- no disease or fillings needed.

Heres the problem, im worried that my front top teeth are mobile (only a little and only when i bite on them). The dentist assured me they were not mobile, but I have trust issues and am convinced that I have gum disease. Could there be something he’s missing or do I need a second opinion?

My teeth seem to have too much mobility, how can I stop this from occurring?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

My teeth seem to be very loose ive been noticing it a lot recently because i have a tingling sensation in my gum so when i go the bathroom mirror to check, have a clean and a poke around i notice that they seem to be loose, its not just the one either it a good few of them basically until you hit the big well rooted ones at the sides and towards the back of the mouth that it stops occurring. im not sure if this is exactly normal but like anything if you sort it before it starts your more likely to deal with it properly so i thought it was worth a shout. I brush regularly but have not been overly keen on flossing and was wondering is this poor hygiene practice or should i not worry could i have contracted gum disease and if so how do i stop it now would it be a simple case of adding flossing more frequently to my routine, if so how many times should i do it a week if i did it twice a day for a week id have no teeth left surely?
