I Would Like To Know If Periodontitis Can Be Cured Or Not?

February 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. Are there any cures yet for periodontis? I was never told by my dentist that I had a problem until she informed me I had this disease. I was never told about gingivitis or any other problem and have been with the same dentist for 5 years. My teeth have bled whilst cleaning on occasions but not very often. I have only lost one back tooth and I am 65 years of age. I now visit a different dentist every three months or so for a clean, he has never x-rayed my mouth. I hope you can help.

Can You Tell Me If I Can Completely Cure My Periodontal Disease?

November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I have periodontal and I’m currently getting treatment, I have bad breath too. Does the disease completely cure after treatment and does the bad breath ever go away completely?

I have also read here that you brush after breakfast, I do brush as soon as I get out of bed then have my breakfast and after about an hour I use my mouthwash before I leave the house? Is this wrong, should I first have breakfast then brush my teeth? I hope you can help me with this problem.

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?

Hi there, recently my gums have started to bleed under the smallest bit of pressure. So even eating foods like apples or pears can cause them to do this. Could there be any reasons apart from the obvious gum disease? Is there anything I can do to stop it? thanks for your time

August 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi, My gums bleed after I brush them, however it isn’t all the time like you’d expect with gum disease, it’s only occasionally as in once every week or something. Could this mean I have gum disease or just that Iam brushing too hard? I don’t have bad breathe or any gum recession, also Iam a none smoker, hope you can help me thanks
