Would dental implants work after having a substantial amount of bone loss due to periodontal disease?

Monday, April 26th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have been told I have periodontal disease and I will be starting my treatment for that shortly. I have been told that my bone loss is around 30-40% and I do have a few ‘wobbly’ teeth that my dentist said I will most likely lose. I would like to know that if teeth are lost, would dental implants work on me due to the amount of bone lost? Thanks,

What are the options available in regards to replacing a false tooth?

Monday, April 26th, 2010
Q.
About 7 years ago I was advised by my dentist to have my front right tooth taken out. I had chipped it a few years earlier and a xray showed that I had fractured my tooth in 3 places as well as the pallet of my mouth. She fitted me with a false tooth on a plate (like a brace). A few years ago I went back as i hate wearing this and she said that she could put a tooth in with wings and glue it in place. Well she made a bodge job and took it straight back out. I’m only 33 and really sick of having this false tooth in as it’s started to drop slightly and I’m really embarrassed about it. I think it’s starting to make my breath smell too. What other options to I have and what are the costs? Thanks Sarah,

Is the small bump on the back of my mouth my wisdom tooth coming through?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
I am a 16 year old girl. Back in Feb ’08, I’d got a really painful toothache in the last tooth of the right side of my lower jaw. So the following month, a permanent black filling helped me to rid of the pain. Unfortunately in a few weeks’ time, a small bump occurred right at the side of the filled in tooth, outside the mouth. I know that this has something to do with that filling, and is not an ordinary pustule. An X-ray was taken by my dentist who said that the small bump is a result of the early development of the wisdom tooth. Then in May ’09 that small bump burst. It gave out a lot of pus and some blood. This continued for a few months. Now at that site the skin folds. What’s going on? Am I suffering from something serious? Should it be corrected by oral and plastic surgery? Please help. I am really worried.,

My teeth are moving out of position again after i had braces, what do you suggest I should do?

Monday, April 19th, 2010
Q.
I used to wear braces back when i was may be 15 or 16, after removing them i was told to wear retainers, i only put them on for a couple of months then on and off for a month or so. now my teeth are starting to move back gradually. one tooth on the lower line is crooked and the top teeth are movving forward. im 18 now and im scared that if i dont sort them out it will get worse. Another thing is that im a student now at university so i dont want to bee seen wearing braces but also i dont have much money to spend. can you give ma any advise and maybe a rough idea how much it will cost to have some kind of treatment to sort this problem out. Thank you very much!,
