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?

I Have Seen Two Dentist But I’m Still Losing Gum Tissue And Getting Blisters. Do You Have Any Further Suggestions?

April 14th, 2014
Q.

I am losing gum tissue & as well as getting blisters on the roof of my mouth. I have seen two dentists so far. I have tried using baking soda & salt instead of my tooth paste, I used Amazan, I even tried using peroxide but nothing seem to help. I brush my teeth daily and have regular cleaning & check ups so I don’t understand how this could have happened. I have had a deep cleaning & have been treated for ANUG. The medication seem to help but not cure. I was given more but it seems like my body has adapted to it and it did not continue to help. I am currently on a steroid (Oracort – Triamcinolone
acetonide) which gives some relief for the pain. I have had a biopsy done & the only thing it told me was that there were no cancer cells & is not vascular. Do you have any suggestions?

Q.

Hello, I have been advised by my dentist that I have a bad problem with gum disease. I have given up smoking and am still using nicorette gum can this aggrivate it? As well as this my mum has had a problem with it, I am on anti depressants and have been taking HRT as i started on the early menopause at 38 yrs old. From what i can see all of these things can be contributory, is this the case and if so what would you recommend as I am very concerned? Thank you
