I’ve just had new crowns, I’m suffering with inflammation around the margins and my gums are swollen and tender. I believe this is to do with the invasion of the biological width. Do you have any suggestions on what to do?

Is gum disease causing my face to become inflamed and swell?

January 3rd, 2012

Dr Dunn,

I have been suffering from what I think is severe gum disease. I have spoken with my dentist about the constant inflammation of the gums and pain to my right side of my face and was given amoxycillin. However I have been sufeering with this for years and the inflammation is getting worse causing slight disfiguration to the right side of my face where i have some missing and have a bridge in its place. Please could you advise on what I could do to remedy this situation once and for all as the pain is getting worse. Many thanks

Can eating lots of sweets, pre-diabetes and gum disease all be linked?

December 2nd, 2011

hello. Dr Dunn I have a question involving gum disease. I recently looked at how much chocolate/chocolate bars/confectionery I eat and to be honest its too much- way way way to much! I know that the first thing to be damaged is obviously my teeth ad the tooth enamel. I have also been warned that if I keep it up I may contract pre diabetes? which is basically diabetes before diabetes or something. I was wondering if all three things could be linked, and aside from cutting down on the sugary things is there anything other than this that I can do to aid the health of my gums?

I think my gums are receding, can you help?

December 1st, 2011

Hi there Dr Zurdo I am a little worried that I may have gum recession but I cannot tell whether this is the case or not. I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that I have a few small gaps appearing around my front teeth right where the gum would normally come to a point between them. also my right incisor looks a little too long. normally I would just conclude that this was happening but I have recently been to the dentists and following that I have been to the hygienists. none of them have mentioned that this is happening and when I asked them they said yhh it does look a bit enflamed in these areas, hurt like hell when she was scaling around these areas with the water jet as well! I am not sure but how can i keep track of it or evenn stop it occuring Dr? it really worries me and your feedback would be priceless, thanks.

Why have my gums started to bleed?

July 22nd, 2011

i have always been really good at keeping my teeth and mouth clean through what I think is proper dental hygiene practice ( brushing twice a day, fluoride mouthwash and flossing) but i have recently started noticing an increase in blood when i am brushing my teeth and this is worrying me greatly. is it possible that i am brushing too hard ony my gums and this is the root of the problem? or do you think i could have underlying gum disease? should I go and see my dentist, I feel like I’l be wasting his time though. thanks for reading and any help you can give me would be greatly valued
