Hello, I knocked my front tooth out when I was younger and wore a bridge (one sided) for years. Last year (aged 28) I decided to have an implant fitted instead. It was fitted and my dentist had to rebuild the gum above. Anyways it all went ok and then last Sept he fitted my new porcelain crown. Over the last 8 months my the gum surround my teeth EITHER SIDE OF the implant has become very red and has started to receed. This is gum above 2 good teeth and not above the implant. The gum above the implant has receeded a little too but I think that is cause they had to rebuild it so much in the first place. My concern is as to why the gum is receeding above my good teeth. My dentist cannot figure it out but says it has nothing to do with my implant yet before I had this fitted there was nothing wrong. What do you think? Do you think it could be to do with the crown itself? Please help as Im worried I might start losing some teeth! Thanks,

As a result of gum disease, I have lost 2/3 of my jaw and my tooth move – what do you advise?
Thursday, January 13th, 2011I experienced serious gum disease several years ago and lost a healthy tooth that was replaced by a successful implant. I have also lost a molar to a root canal that crumbled but I have not replaced this with and implant.
I also lost up to 2/3 of my jaw bone due to gum disease so although I have good strong teeth and immaculately clean gums (I’ve learned my lesson on good oral hygiene!) I have a lot of tooth movement – it changes my bite and I can get jaw ache from it.
I’d like to know if any kind of braces would be feasible or if there was a not too invasive way of getting my teeth to stay relatively still?
Thanks in advance.

Can you advise me what to do about my severe mouth odour?
Thursday, January 6th, 2011I have a very bad mouth odour. It happened five years ago. I have tried everything to stop it. I use mouth wash and brush ten times a day. i even went to see the dentist for general cleaning but i still have a bad smell. I am so ashamed of myself that i hardly speak to anyone. I want my mouth to be odour free and be clean without any bad breath. Everyone knows me with a mouth odour. Any advise please.
