I Have Recently Stopped Smoking But My Teeth Have Now Begun To Bleed From Time To Time. What Should I Do?

February 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas I hope you can help me. I have recently stopped smoking and have been doing very well. I’ve always visited hygienists and dentists as often as I could because of this as I still wanted to maintain good oral health. However, I’ve noticed that since stopping that my gums are bleeding. It’s only a few spots here and there so do you think I should be concerned about this and what would you recommend I do about this? Thank you for your time.

I Suffer From Depression And Would Like To Know If Stress Can Impact On Overall Oral Health?

January 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Dunn, recently I have been suffering from severe depression. I have always maintained the best oral hygiene but noticed that my gums are bleeding when I brush them now. Can stress actually have an impact on your oral health? Do you think it could be something to do with the medication I have been prescribed? My gums also appear to be quite red, I don’t know what course of action I could take, do you have any advice for me? Thanks for your time.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I’m Brushing 3 Times A Day And Flossing In Between Meals. Should I Be Concerned?

December 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, I hope you can help me. For one reason or another, over the past 2-3 months or so, I haven’t been looking after my teeth as well as I usually do. Still brushing but sometimes only once a day and not for very long. My gums have started to bleed when I brush them which has shocked me back into my old oral health regime. I’m brushing them 3 times a day and flossing in between meals and using mouth wash. But my teeth are still bleeding and my gums are red round my gum line and I’m convinced that my gums have started to recede on the bottom set of teeth. Does this sound like gum disease? Or just a lapse in oral health. Any advice you can give me would be great. Thanks, in advance.

My Gums Keep Bleeding And All My Dentist Tells Me Is To Change My Brush. But It Isn’t Working? What Else Can I Do?

November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Dunn, I’m 27 years old and I had noticed over the last few months that my teeth been bleeding when ever I have brushed them. They’re not particularly sore at all they just bleed. So I went to my dentist and he told me to change my brush to a softer one. I went back after 6 weeks with the bleeding not any better and my dentist then told me I was brushing too hard. My teeth are bleeding and changing my brush or softening my brushing technique is not making a difference. Is my dentist right or is there something else I can do about this. I’m concerned that it may progress to gum disease. Thank you.
