Can You Give Me Advice On How To Avoid Gum Disease, So I Don’t Have To Worry About It?

May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I’m really worried. Do sore, irritating, painful, sensitive, and bleeding while brushing often indicate that you may have gum disease, or could it be gingivitis? I’ve been wanting to know the symptoms for a long time. Will you hopefully give me advice on how to avoid this disease, so I don’t have to worry about anything? Please help me so my paranoia of this disease can be reduced. Thank you for taking the time to offer me advice.

I Was Confused By My Recent Visit To The Dentist. He Said I Have Gingivitis, But I Don’t Understand The Link With Gum Disease. Can You Explain It To Me?

April 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello there Dr Mitsas. My dentist has only just recently diagnosed me with gingivitis, and assures me that he can fix it. But he confused me when talking about the link between gingivitis and gum disease. Are they the same thing? Is having gingivitis the same as gum disease? I just want to know what I’m up against. I don’t really understand what he was saying so I thought I would get an expert opinion. If you could just provide some clarity on this situation I would be very grateful, Thank you in advance.

I had gingivitis in the past, I then had a scale and polish and it seems to have cleared the problem. Is there a way I can tell if the gingivitis has been completly destroyed?

April 20th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr. I have read on this site that gum disease is not reversible or curable by cleaning, and that gingivitis is. I definatley had gingivitis as my dentist told me. I then had a scale and polish and have brushed well. I was wondering how I could tell or if indeed I could that the gingivitis had been destroyed. My teeth no longer bleed or anything- not even when brushing? But some space did open up between my teeth where the little point of gum used to be (I dont think these spaces are getting bigger). Could this be the sign of more underlying problem or am I now OK would you say? I kow it’s not ideal given that you can’t see me but what would you think? thanks

I think I spent a long time with Gingivitis. My Dentist and Hygienist did not mention anything, since then I have exercised excellent oral hygiene, my gums look and feel better, have I fixed the problem?

April 19th, 2012
Q.

Mr Dunn I have a question for you please. I think I have periodontal/gum disease as I spent a lot of time with gingivitis where my gums would just bleed without being brushed and so on. I am not sure and have since seen my dentist. she did not mention anything just ummed and ahhed for a bit before referring me to the hygienist (which I was expecting as it was sometime since I had been). the hygienist also did not mention anything and after the scale and polish there was some minor bleeding .I have since exercised excellent oral hygiene and am due back in April. My gums now seem to be fine and don’t bleed at all,ever and aren’t nice and pink. Is it possible that I could have treated it or is it something that ‘needs’ to be fixed in another way and could still be eating away at me? thank you for your time and I’m sorry for the long question I just needed to explain fully my situation.

How do I stop my gums spontaneously bleeding and doing so at night?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

HI Mr Dunn, I’m currently half way through my second year at college and am seventeen. I’ve been having a few problems with my gums recently and whilst trying to research I found this site. I worried about my gums as I now think I may have gum disease. on occasion my gums bleed for no reason just spontaneously some times, it did it the other day in class which was really embarrassing. I have had to pull over on the bike when it’s done it and there’s always blood on my teeth in the mornings. what is this and how do I stop it?

I think I have got gingivitis. Can you tell me about signs of the condition and relevant treatment?

March 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doctor I think I have got gingivitis. I dont think It’s more serious than that at this point. my breath does smell a little and my gums bleed on brushing- and have actually bled spontaneously a few times, the gums are a bit red and tender and by my own admission my oral hygiene hasn’t been great up until now and I assume its a result of that. I have a couple of questions of the back of this. I know it can take between 7-10 days to get rid of gingivitis but how long does it take to kick in/contract? also if this is gum disease how do I get rid of it (I know go to my dentist but what happens?)? thanks
