June 8th, 2012
Q.

My gums actually feel like there dying there all bleeding most of the time and i’ve used corsadol i think thats how its spelt for like 6 mounths it hasnt got better. I hear that once your gums are so bad they cant go back does that mean theres nothing that can save my teeth. and will i lose them most likely im only 20 i dont understand. I understand i should go to a dentist but i was there like 4 months ago and nothing was said about my gums, How do you sugest they would have got this bad. its like when i suck in i feel hollow bits in my mouth like theres space under the teeth.

Two dentists have conflicting opinions concerning the health of my gums, what should I do?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am a bit concerned about the state my gums are in., I used to live down near Gloucestershire but have recently moved up north just outside of Manchester, reality check for me, I know! anyway not long before I left I’d had an appointment with my dentist/hygeinist who’d been somewhat concerned – no panicked but concerned about the wellbeing of my gums, she reckoned I had a more advanced stage of gum disease that could apparently be destructive, to what? anyway after six months I went for a check up at what is my new dentist who said everything looked fine!? you cansee the issue I have, If it were the other way around then Id suggest it had developed, I’d still seek advice as that would be quick to contract it and have it develop but its even quicker in terms of it just vanishing, I told him what my old dentist said and referred him to her in-case he wanted to chat but he checked again, no every things fine sir? I don’t know what to believe as my gums don’t look different to when I left? please could you help me what should I do or just look out for between now and my next check up? what do you advise? thank you!
