Does having your teeth scaled do more damage than good if you have gum problems?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr I’m currently receiving gum and teeth treatment at my local dental clinic. I have had a few teeth pulled because of my gum’s. I have had my teeth scaled top and bottom in four stage’s can you tell me please if having your teeth scaled can do more damage than good if you already have a slight gum problem ? And if I already have a crown but have lost the root of the tooth it’s fitted to is there another way I could keep it attached to my gum ? Without having to replace it with a denture.?

I had a tooth extracted yesterday due to horrendous stabbing pains but no damage or decay, my other teeth feel squidgy so I am wondering if my other teeth are infected?

Q.

Hi, I have just had a tooth extracted yesterday and I am now wondering if my other teeth are also affected. I have what feels like squidgy teeth and this is still there now the affected tooth has been removed.

Suffered from 26th Nov 2011 with the tooth horrendous stabbing pain yet no known cause. No obvious damage or decay. Tooth felt loose and with pressure the pain was often very acute. This settled a little however then an abcess occurred leading to removal of the tooth. 2 of the 3 roots had rotted away. However now the next but one tooth to it still doesn’t feel right and I am terrified the problem is occurring in these other teeth now too.

November 2nd, 2011
Q.

I have scars on my gums lower jaw(left) as a result of surgical wisdom teeth extraction. They keep on appearing and disappearing. It usually happens when my lower lip starts twicthing involuntarily.(Same sidea) I wasput on various neuropathic drugs such as lyrica,neuorotin,cymbalta,tegretol, celebrax. Duregesic patches, rivotril,tegrotol and so many others but nothing seem to ease the pain. It satarted in 2007 up to now. I used kelannog to apply but I only get temporal relief. I underwent all blood tests from aids to oral cancern, nothing came positive. Am not diabetic, a bit hypertensive due to those drugs but not chronic.
