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 Would Like To Know If Periodontitis Can Be Cured Or Not?

February 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. Are there any cures yet for periodontis? I was never told by my dentist that I had a problem until she informed me I had this disease. I was never told about gingivitis or any other problem and have been with the same dentist for 5 years. My teeth have bled whilst cleaning on occasions but not very often. I have only lost one back tooth and I am 65 years of age. I now visit a different dentist every three months or so for a clean, he has never x-rayed my mouth. I hope you can help.

I’ve Recently Discovered I Have A Form Of Gum Disease And Wondered If It Can Be Transferred To Other People Through Contact?

October 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi Ian, I’ve just discover that I have a form of gum disease that I can’t remember the name of but it was quite aggressive and I am taking antibiotics for it. My concern is that I have two young children and a wife, I was wondering if my gum disease can be transmitted over from mouth to mouth or from sharing cutlery, etc? I wouldn’t want to transfer anything to anyone so I just wanted to know! Cheers Ian, I hope you can offer your advice on this!

I’m on my 4th course of antibiotics because of an abscess caused by a fractured root, my dentist wont take the tooth out, if i go private will they be able to sort it?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi I’m really fed up I’m now on my 4th course of antibiotics from my dentist for an abscess caused by fractured root on old root treated back upper molar. She tried taking it out 2 weeks ago but couldn’t get it numb as I can only have non adrenaline local due to reaction with normal one. After that she gave me more antibiotics for another week and I went back the other day hoping she’d would take it out but she just said she would have to refer me to hospital as she’s not allowed to give me stronger type without adrenaline, only hospital can. I’m now at my wits end. Every time i finish course the tooth starts to flare up few days later & just found that hospital can take 12 weeks for appointment. This infection isn’t going until this tooth is out and now she wont try again & i may have 2 wait 12 weeks(I’ve also been suffering with & treated for cluster migraine by GP for last 2 months could this be related?) Are there any dental surgeries that are capable of more complex extractions? Even if I pay privately? or how can I speed up hospital waiting time? Surely they can’t expect me to take antibiotics for another 3months? Your advice would be much appreciated.

Diagnosed with gum disease, told not to start antibiotics until my next appointment which is in 3 weeks, is this correct?

May 18th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I’ve been diagnosed with gum disease today. I have been given a prescription for antibiotics but told not to start them until 3 days before my 1st appointment to have my teeth thoroughly cleaned, however the earliest appointment is on the 16th May, 3 weeks away. I forgot to mention to the dentist that I also have neutropenia. Is it ok to wait 3 weeks without taking the anitbiotics? It seems odd to be diagnosed then told to wait, admittedly the dentist wouldn’t have known that it would be a 3 week wait. Please can you advise? Many thanks!

After Smoking for 23 years I have severe gum disease, My dentist said I need at least 8 sessions of deep scale cleaning at £98 per session, do I need that many?

April 20th, 2012
Q.

Can you help – I have given up smoking after 23 years and have now been diagnosed with severe gum disease. I have read your treatment for periodontal gum problems and my dentist says this is what I need. He says I need to have 8 sessions of deep scale cleaning and anti-biotics. These sessions are £98 a time! This is where my problem is. I obviously need this procedure but do I really need 8 sessions? I think my dentist is trying to get money out of me. Please advise me if 8 sessions is common. Thank you very much.

One of my teeth has fallen out due to a gum problem but I suffer from dental phobia. What can I do?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

I have a problem with receding gums. One of my front teeth has fallen out. I think i may have gum problems that require antibiotics. My question is can my gp give me this kind of antibiotic or do i need to see a dentist? I have a phobia of dentists so do not have a dentist because they get fed up of me not turning up or doing a runner. I have done a runner whilst having an xray. This may give you an idea of how bad my phobia is. Please advise. Thanks.
