Despite regular check ups and dentist assurance, I have lost teeth and am about to loose more! Can you help me?

October 21st, 2011
Q.

I visited a dentist for 4 years and went every 6 months for a check up.He told me my teeth were perfect. I changed to another dentist and he advised that i had gum disease – peridontal. I was first given the root cleaning treatment 4 times which was agony. No anasthetic allowed i was told. Since then to my extreme distress I have had to have 10 teeth removed. I visit every3 months and again am getting the root cleaning treatment this week and a further one next week. I use corsodyl toothpaste, mouthwash and the small brushes for cleaning. I feel that thinks are not getting better. I wake up in morning with bad breath and during day my mouth tastes awful. I can feel movement in another tooth. What more can i do. Can you give me any advice. Thanks

I got over periodontal disease, can it return and what do I look for?

October 14th, 2011
Q.

Hi there, I am very pleased to say that I got over my periodontal disease and have previously used this site and have had great/helpful feedback from yourself that pointed me in the right direction in terms of identifying what how serious the problem could have been and indeed was. thankyou for this. however im a bit worried that even though Ive been keeping up my oral hygiene routines he signs of gum disease seem to be returning but im not sure, is it possible to contract gingivitis after getting over periodontal disease (I thought if I was to catch them both it would have been the other way around as in gingivitis first Then periodintitis?) what are the very first signs or gingivitis or does it just start with bleeding gums?

Can periodontal gum disease return after being eradicated?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi i have recently eradicated periodontitis I managed it quickly before any significant gum was lost (very proud of myself for noticing the signs early, woop!) but i have been advised it can come back despite brushing religiously! and flossing, this hardly seems like a fair playing field I would firstly like to know if this is true? my dentist mentioned it but i thought he was just trying to scare me into keeping on top of it (which i will and would have done regardless) but then the other day a freind said the same thing and im unsure?? Ive been using flossets as well as brushing and mouth washing twice a day (often using mouthwash (diluted with water as to not erode my teeth) more than once a day- so after any sugary snack breaks etc) I was thinking, would this be enough or is there more i can get from my routine in order to stop it coming back again?
