The I burnt the roof of my mouth and it caused a gap between my front teeth what can i do?

Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi, The I burnt the roof of my mouth a week ago, and it is still a bit sore. However, my problem is – that it has caused my 2 front teeth to have a gap between them, where I’m assuming my gums have swollen – pushing my teeth apart. I am really worried that I will be left with a gap between my front teeth forever! Will the gap go once my gums go back to normal, or will I have a gap forever now? What can I do!?

Im 30 and my gums are receding and my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks please advice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
I am a 30 year old mother of one. When I was in my early teens, I used to literally ‘peel’ my gums that rest on my teeth using my fingernails, and, I found that a new (thin) layer of gum used to grow back the next day, and I then used to continue this habit. I stopped for 2 years (mid-teens) when I had track braces fitted in, but then continued after they were taken off. I noticed when I was about 22 years of age that the thin layer of gums that I used to peel did not grow back, but I still perservered occasionally with this (yes, I admit!) bad habit! As a result, I have receding gums, and would like advice on what can be done to help restore my gums. Currently, because of my receding gums, I am finding that my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks and foods. I would be extremely grateful for your help/advice please. Thanks!

It is very difficult to re gro… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
