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.

I’ve Been Told That Nothing Can Be Done About My Gum Disease. Is This Correct?

November 4th, 2013
Q.

I have had terrible pain in the upper and lower right side of my mouth in the gums and teeth for around 3 weeks and have been taking painkillers everyday to alleviate the pain. I have visited my dentist in the beginning and she has booked me in on Tuesday for a deep clean as she says it is tartar build up. I have had it confirmed that I have gum disease but have been told there is nothing that can be done. I am 45, I do not smoke, I brush and floss regularly and use Corsodyl daily. What worries me is that the pain is not confined to one tooth are but is the whole right side go my mouth.

My mum has gum disease, will i get it too?

September 5th, 2011
Q.

Today my mum went to our dentist and she got told that she’s at the start of getting gum disease. But she doesn’t smoke and eatings plenty of fruit and vegetables and only buys sweets for me and my sister so doesn’t eat any for herself. This has made me wonder
1. Because she has gum disease will I get it? I’m not sure if this is how it works. 2. How do I prevent getting it if this is the case and I am likely to get it?
3. How do you cure it because Idon#t want it!?
Thanks alot for your time, btw I’am only 13
