I can feel a ridge at the bottom of my tooth on the gum line, do I have periodontitis?

October 21st, 2011
Q.

Is there a good way of checking for periodontal disease. I was flossing the other day and felt a ridge just at my gum line on one or two of my teeth with the spikey bit. I looked online and apparently this could be the bottom of my enamel/ start of my roots. this worried me as I have has a bit of gingivitis in the past but had hoped to have eradicated it. upon my research I found that periodontal disease was the destructive version of the disease and i’m worried I may have it. could you tell me the difference between to gingivitis and periodontal disease as well as how I can check for it. thank you for your help

How far gone are my gums?

October 5th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am very worried about my gums health? I have been reading through the website here and have read the symptoms of gum disease. my gums do bleed after brushing- not all the time only when I catch them harshly, yes my gums are a little red but not very, so I thought damn- but this seems mild I best get on top of cleaning/flossing/mouthwash etc.. however I then read the ‘more advanced’ section and I have symptoms from, but not all. I often have bad breath, sensitive teeth they don’t seep pus and how can I tell if my gums are receding I cant tell? It is a lot but based on this how far would you say I am? and can simply stepping up washing/brushing etc.. stop this? and can you reverse gum recession? Its an awful lot I apologise any help will be immense. 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

My gums dont always bleed but do I have gum disease?

August 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi, My gums bleed after I brush them, however it isn’t all the time like you’d expect with gum disease, it’s only occasionally as in once every week or something. Could this mean I have gum disease or just that Iam brushing too hard? I don’t have bad breathe or any gum recession, also Iam a none smoker, hope you can help me thanks
