Q.

Dear My Dunn,

I have been experiencing tooth pains recently and had wondered why. I think It is down to my diet and sugary things i drink. I do not smoke or any of that. I do not drink alcohol excessvely either. I contemplated that as everything in my mouth is physically conected then the prblems and reasons may be also. the teeth are aching somewhat as i say but i wondered if this could have anything to do with my gum? could my diet affect my gums health as they do my teeth? thanks Dr, your time is appreciated

Dear Jose

I have been treated for grinding my teeth and wear a gum shield at night. Recently I have been having discomfort in my front lower teeth and my dentist has said that I have sensitive teeth, but I have dark spots on my gums a regular nasty taste in my mouth and soreness in my cheeks and receding gums which my dentist has said is caused by overbrushing – can you please advise me on what you think is wrong with my teeth

Thank you
