Q.

Hi Ian, I’ve just discover that I have a form of gum disease that I can’t remember the name of but it was quite aggressive and I am taking antibiotics for it. My concern is that I have two young children and a wife, I was wondering if my gum disease can be transmitted over from mouth to mouth or from sharing cutlery, etc? I wouldn’t want to transfer anything to anyone so I just wanted to know! Cheers Ian, I hope you can offer your advice on this!

Q.

Hello Jose! Well, I was wondering if you can help me. My bottom four teeth tend to build up a lot of plaque behind them, I brush vigorously behind them trying to remove it, but always it builds up again! When i visit my dentist he removes it with his scrubber machine! And tells me to brush more regularly, i do this but it never seems to work. Can you tell me if this has anything to do with maybe some gum disease i have or give me some tips on how to improve this problem? Thanks alot mate!

Hi, My Husband has just been told by his dentist he has Gum Disease and has been told to give up fizzy drinks llike cola.This may seem like a silly question but to what extent does this apply to Lager. He has also been told that working night shifts can contribute to it because,at night, your saliva decreases. is this true? he has been told to eat fruit but fruit can be acidy, is there any he should avoid eating or eat more of?

Thank you.
