I Have Two False Teeth And When I Brush My Mouth Sometimes Bleeds Uncontrollably. Have My False Teeth Not Healed After Two Years?

January 20th, 2014
Q.

Hi. I have two false teeth due to no teeth being/growing there at all either side of my front teeth which are capped onto the teeth either side one of the false teeth of which is causing concern. It bleeds a lot whilst brushing sometimes it can fill my mouth uncontrollably and other times it’ll be very little blood it always tastes of blood and the gum above is of different colour to my others. I brush regularly and use mouthwash and I’d like to know what could this be? I’ve always worried that when I had them my gum was cut and burnt away to allow room for the false tooth that it was damaged and never really healed as I’ve had them for two years now?

I Suffer From Depression And Would Like To Know If Stress Can Impact On Overall Oral Health?

January 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Dunn, recently I have been suffering from severe depression. I have always maintained the best oral hygiene but noticed that my gums are bleeding when I brush them now. Can stress actually have an impact on your oral health? Do you think it could be something to do with the medication I have been prescribed? My gums also appear to be quite red, I don’t know what course of action I could take, do you have any advice for me? Thanks for your time.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I’m Brushing 3 Times A Day And Flossing In Between Meals. Should I Be Concerned?

December 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I hope you can help me. For one reason or another, over the past 2-3 months or so, I haven’t been looking after my teeth as well as I usually do. Still brushing but sometimes only once a day and not for very long. My gums have started to bleed when I brush them which has shocked me back into my old oral health regime. I’m brushing them 3 times a day and flossing in between meals and using mouth wash. But my teeth are still bleeding and my gums are red round my gum line and I’m convinced that my gums have started to recede on the bottom set of teeth. Does this sound like gum disease? Or just a lapse in oral health. Any advice you can give me would be great. Thanks, in advance.

My boyfriend’s gums bleed when brushing and his breath smells. Is gum disease contagious?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Ian Dunn,

I think my boyfriend has gum disease! He has really bad breath and bleeds quite a lot when he brushes his teeth. His teeth also look in quite bad condition. I am wondering if it is contagious? I have very good dental hygiene and always brush my teeth twice a day, but am I at risk from kissing him? Can it be passed on through saliva? And if so, will I know if I have caught it?

Thanks for your time

Can gum disease develop over night?

February 22nd, 2012
Q.

Can tooth abscess/ tooth ache cause gum disease? As I am having tooth abscess and waiting for a root canal treatment that will take place next Friday. Last Wednesday my dentist told me that I have gum disease and that tooth will need to be extracted. She never mentioned that even the day before ( Tues.) when I came to see her about swelling under my tongue. Can gum disease develop over night? I do have good oral hygiene. This tooth has large filling ( done 3 years ago) and had been very sensitive since late Dec., more to cold than hot. Then in late Jan. it became very sensitive to hot/even warm water. Then I experienced terrible tooth ache and now that the tooth is death, and I am having abscess. I do not recall that my gum bleed after brushing.
