I’ve Been On Anti-Depressants And My Gums Have Turned Milky White. Have You Heard Of This Before?

June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I’m having a bit of a problem, as ever since taking anti-depressants I have noticed that my gums are turning a milky white colour, only around the front of the mouth and they do bleed slightly. Can this type of medication have an effect like this on my gums? It just seems a bit of a coincidence that this is happening as I’m taking the medication. Is there anything you can suggest please? Thank you for your time.

I had a pain on the left side of my mouth now it has moved to the right side, im unable to see any signs of damage, what should i do?

Q.

Hi, can you help please. I had a pain on the left side of my mouth, I think I had a small ulcer which has now gone by using an antibacterial mouthwash. However the pain is now the right side {top} of my mouth. The pain is quite bad when I chew. I cant quite pinpoint whether it’s my teeth or gums which are hurting. I’m unable to feel a hole in the tooth, I do not have any redness, swelling or abcess on the gum. Is there anything I can try before I see my dentsist? Thank you in advance

I keep getting ulcers in my mouth, what is causing them and what medication should i take?

August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could maybe advice me on what medication to get with my problem. I have recently been getting a lot of ulcers on my gums and tongue. It’s really sore and they don’t seem to be healing very quickly, new ones keep popping up regularly. I have just started a new job which involves night shifts so my sleep pattern has altered, could this be the cause or is it a bigger problem? Thanks Ian!

I have smoked for two years and think I have gum disease, what should I do?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

I think I may have gum disease as my gums bleed after brushing and the gum between my bottom fang and molar seems to have a split in it. I brush twice a day and regularly floss and use mouthwash however I have smoked for two years. I haven’t really suffered with dental problems apart from having a brace in my teens. What should I do? I’m quite apprehensive about going the dentist plus I don’t have the funds right now. Thanks!

I think I have gum disease but don’t want the dentist to extract all my teeth!

Q.

Hi, im worried and think i may have some form of gum disease but I don’t know what stage exactly! I am too scared and/or embarrassed to even go to the dentist through the fear that I may have to get all my teeth taken out, its making me feel a bit depressed especially as I don’t know enough on the situation, please help I really could do with some advice!
