Q.
Dr Hughes. After years of not looking after my teeth due to a fear of the dentist, I got gum disease (suprise suprise I hear you say!! I have since booked my ideas up and after 2 years of regular dental appointments and a new dental regime my gums are back to health. HOWEVER I struggle to keep the tartar from the back of my 2 front lower teeth and because of my previous gum disease I have practically no gum left at the front or back of these 2 teeth. My dentist doesn’t seem too worried. There is a little movement in them but not much. Is there any surgery I could have to cover up the space where my gum has dissapeared? or could you suggest anything else? I am 36 years of age and use to have lovely white teeth some of which are now stained as a result of using Corsidal. Any advice on treatment would be very much appreciated. ,
