Should I be worried about gum recession and black areas between my teeth?

March 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Zurdo, I  hope your well. I came to see you last year in january. I have noticed I have gum recession on one of my lower molars at the front. Also I noticed that on one of my upper tooths I have developed a black triangle after seeing my local dentist he has said I have nothing to worry about in regards to the black triangle. Also in regards gum recession can this result in immediate tooth loss. According to my dentist this was caused by aggressive brushing. I would like to hear from you.

My teeth seem to have too much mobility, how can I stop this from occurring?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

My teeth seem to be very loose ive been noticing it a lot recently because i have a tingling sensation in my gum so when i go the bathroom mirror to check, have a clean and a poke around i notice that they seem to be loose, its not just the one either it a good few of them basically until you hit the big well rooted ones at the sides and towards the back of the mouth that it stops occurring. im not sure if this is exactly normal but like anything if you sort it before it starts your more likely to deal with it properly so i thought it was worth a shout. I brush regularly but have not been overly keen on flossing and was wondering is this poor hygiene practice or should i not worry could i have contracted gum disease and if so how do i stop it now would it be a simple case of adding flossing more frequently to my routine, if so how many times should i do it a week if i did it twice a day for a week id have no teeth left surely?

I brush my teeth twice daily and use mouth wash but my gums still bleed. Could I have gum disease?

Q.

I am 16 years old and I brush my teeth twice a day and use mouthwash. But when I brush my teeth my gums bleed in a couple of places. Could i have gum disease? I look after my teeth and always brush twice a day. My mum said it’s because I brush my teeth too hard that my gums bleed when I brush. Please help I am really worried and I don’t want all my teeth to fall out.
