Q.
Hello Dr Zurdo, can you help me? I’m 24 and have bad gum recession around a number of teeth from gum disease. Mainly on 4 teeth at bottom and 3 on top. I went to my NHS dentist she wasn’t very friendly or helpful and told me to use Corsodyl toothpaste and mouthwash and go back in 6 months. She also mentioned I may need root canal treatment as more than 50% of my tooth is uncovered. Can anything be done or am I going to loose my teeth. Could you tell me what would it cost to fix?

Hello thank you for getting in touch. If you keep a good oral health regime you should be able to prevent any further recession of the gum line. I would suggest seeking out an expert periodontist and an endodontist if you need root canal treatment and for further information you should start researching the various prices and treatments available. I hope this answer helps you understand your options in the future. Best of luck, Dr Jose Zurdo.
