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.

Q.

Hello Dr, I have part dentures and i hoped to hang on to my remaining teeth but i have bleeding on my eye tooth, is this the end?  I clean 4 times a day and use mouthwash. I am mid sixties and cant afford very expensive treatment .I noticed the last time i went to my dentist to have the front tooth removed he didnt suggest cleaning. I did not like to ask as i went national health. I used to go private with the same dentist but my circumstances changed after 2 berievments and suddenly not working. Any advice would be great.

Q.

Hello Dr Ian Dunn and I am twelve years old and thirteen in April. My dentist has just told me I have gum disease, severe gum disease to the lower mouth. I have two questions: is it normal for someone my age to get gum disease? And what can I do to treat it and prevent getting it again? I know there is already information on this website but I really need some advice. To be honest I’m scared.
