Is there a link between gum disease and heart attacks?

February 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, as a child I suffered a lot of heart palpitations and received a lot of advice on how to prevent them and have a ‘healthy heart’ in order to help. however recently I wondered, is there an established link with gum disease and heart attacks? I heard comment of this on TV recently? cheers

I want orthodontic treatment but have gum disease, how do I get rid of it?

January 26th, 2012
Q.

I am having a bit of an issue of you could please help me please Dr Zurdo. I have overlapped teeth and have been dying to get some form of orthodontic treatment for anwehile now. the issue is my gums bleed and are always very tender to touch. I assume this means theres something wrong and despite decent oral hygiene for a good while there doesnt seem to be an end in site to this. I know i must have excellent oral health in order to have braces but i dont know how i can further help my situation in getting rid of this bleeding? if you could please advise me that would be great then i can get the treatment i need and have straight teeth again! than you very much.

Could mouthwash have made my situation worse?

January 11th, 2012
Q.

I think I have a mild case of gum disease, admittedly I got lazy with brushing my teeth when I had my baby 3 months ago so I’m now paying for y actions. Only a small area of my gum is now swollen and sore as I have been using eludril whilst I’m waiting to see the dentist, however since I’ve been using it for the last few days, I woke up today and my gums are even more painful!! My gums are starting to look better but the pain is worse, is this normal?? Thanks

How long does it take to get rid of gingivitis?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr.- I was told a few years ago by my hygienist that I had gingivitis. back then I was in my first year at college and constantly had problems with my gums randomly bleeding without provocation/irritation. It happened once when I was riding my moped, I had to pull over and swill water and wait until it stopped. anyway after that, unwittingly i didnt visit the dentist for a further two years (four college/academic years). This was my fault as I had serious concerns over my future and didnt think for anything other than college and Uni etc. anyway I have very little problems with my gums, they rarely bleed now which has to be good, they look better. I had stepped up my oral hygiene a bit and they hygeinist the other week said that I just had a bit of mild inflammation around one tooth which I can get rid of easily and will keep up dental appointments, what I want to know is how long does it take to get rid of gum disease? based on what you yourself have treated? cheers

I’ve been diagnosed with gum disease. Other than going to the hygienist can I do anything else to help?

September 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi I have been told that I have the start of gum disease and my teeth are starting to separate, probably due the recession of the gums, I have now started seeing my hygienist every  three months I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do myself at home or wherever to help the situation along or will this just continue to occur regardless

Many thanks

Can I do anything to instigate gum growth in order to reverse the effects of wobbly teeth?

September 20th, 2011
Q.

hi, I have several loose teeth and was wondering what I could do to sort them out or whether or not I can? they are all the front teeth on the bottom. they feel wobbly but I don’t know if its just play in the teeth? how much play should there be in teeth? if indeed there is to much play then what can I do? I know enamel on teeth cannot grow back but what about gums? if they regenerate health and stimulate growth then surely the teeth if not to far gone will they be less wobbly? im booked in for an appointment at my dentist but im not on NHS any more so I had to wait until after pay day which is in 2 weeks so I was seeking a bit of advise in the mean time, any feedback would be brilliant! thanks a lot.
