My gums have started to recede and it’s really embarrassing. Is there anything that can be done?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have got quite a big smile and I have always thought my teeth were my best feature. I must have been brushing too hard because the gum line has receded on the left side of my mouth. This is especially true for one tooth in the bottom left hand corner of my mouth which is giving me a lot of pain. The gum around my left top front tooth has receded a little and food keeps getting trapped between the tooth and the gum line. This is really embarrassing and is stopping me from going out with friends or eating in front of anyone without having to run to the toilet between every course. I am 25 and I don’t want to have to keep worrying about this. Is there anything that can be done? I don’t have a dentist at the moment as I have a bad experience a few years ago and I’m nervous of going back. Any help would be great.,

Spots along my gum are really starting to hurt and even peel. What’s the cause and is it common?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.
Hi, so I have a question regarding my gums. The gum spots where I had my wisdom teeth removed a long while back are really hurting. I noticed they are raw where they started peeling a little, and its really a pain to chew food now. My co-worker said she has had a similar issue. What could be the cause of this? Is this a common thing, or do I need to be concerned?,

I pulled and my baby tooth. The new tooth had stopped growing and the tooth’s turned black. Do I have tooth rot?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
At 15, I still had a few baby teeth left, one was loose, and so I pulled it out, which I know was a bad idea, but it was annoying. The whole tooth came out, and a new one grew in it’s place, however, the growth has stopped just above gum level. Over the last 2 years, the tooth appears to have turned black, and when I press my finger to the gum, I’ve noticed it smells, but it does not affect my breath at all. I mentioned it to my dentist once, but she said she would keep an eye on it, and it was nothing to worry about. My dentist hasn’t mentioned anything about it since, and I suffer none of the pain regarded with tooth rot.,

I would need to take a look be… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
