I Brush, Floss And Use Mouthwash. Yet My Gums Still Bleed. Can You Please Offer Me Some Advice?

May 14th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. I always take very good care of my teeth and gums. I brush twice a day, I use mouthwash and I floss AND I use an inter-dental brush too! Yet, my gums have started to bleed. My last check up was a month back and the dentist said everything was fine. I don’t understand what the problem could be, I don’t drink or smoke. Do you think this could be a symptom of a medical condition? I’m very worried and I’m due to see my dentist next week but I can’t stop thinking about what it could be. I’ve conducted research on the internet and it’s talking about mouth cancer! Please can you offer me some advice? Thank you!

My Upper Gums Are Bleeding Quite Badly. Has This Gone Worse Because I’m Wearing Braces?

March 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas, I hope you can help me. I had a brace fitted 3 years ago because I had very crooked teeth and it’s still on. I’ve got slight gum disease, is this made worse with braces? My upper gums are receding quite badly. I’m just inquiring to see if there’s anything that can be done about this? If so I’d just like a rough guideline on costs? What would the procedure involve? I look forward to hearing an experts opinion on this matter. Thank you for your input in advance.

I have a hole on my lower gum, my dentist just said to use corsdyl, the problems still there after 6 months, what should i do?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have on several occasions visited my dentist about a hole before my front bottom teeth. His advise was to use corsdyl mouth wash as well as corsdyl brushes for between my teeth.

After 6 month this problem is still there and my gums are bleeding more as im only 30 I am starting to panic that I may lose my teeth.

Please could you advise me on where to go now as I feel my dentist is not taking me serious.

thanks!
