I’m 72 Years Old And I Have A Loose Tooth Which Hurts When I Eat. What Would You Suggest For Me To Do?

July 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I would like some advice. I’m 72 years old and I have 2 pallets one on the top and one bottom. The one at the top as 4 teeth the one at the bottom has 2. The pallet at the bottom sits next to a tooth which is loose, and the gum on one side of my tooth has receded badly but the other side of the tooth is okay. The loose tooth is painful whenever I try to eat anything. I don’t like the thought of extraction. My dentist is NHS and he did say he could weld the loose to the good one. Do you know if this a good idea or not? Thank you for your time.

I Have Got My Gingivitis Under Control But My Tooth Is Becoming Loose. Can You Help Me?

June 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I hope you can help me. I had this gingivitis and I am going to my dentist very regularly. Every three months or so. There is no bleeding any more. I have one tooth which is looser than before. And now I am getting another one coming loose. My gums are not very healthy. I told my dentist and they said they are better than before. I have diabetes as well. I am only 55 years old. Is there anything else you could help me with? My diabetes is under control. I don’t take any junk food and I clean my teeth regularly and I don’t smoke. Thank you for your time.

My Dentist Was Inconsiderate Over My Gum Disease And I Don’t Think They Did Enough. What Do You Suggest I Do?

October 28th, 2013
Q.

I have been informed I have gum disease I’m feeling really down about it to be honest. I felt like the dentist was quite inconsiderate about it, and recommended a scale and a polish and to purchase an electric tooth brush and floss. Surely if I have a disease then I need further treatment? I went to the dentist as I was in the process of eating and there was a stone in my food which I had purchased from a supermarket, my tooth bit into the stone and has made the tooth quite loose at the back. I thought by going to the dentist she would be able to fix it or give me good advice, but instead asked me if I wanted it removed? Maybe my expectations were high but I thought she would try to fix my tooth not the choice of removal or just leave it loose? Thanks so much in advance.
