Hi, I have gum resession which seems to have stopped but I am so worried it will continue and i will end up with no teeth by the time im 30. Could you advise me on how much gum graft surgery costs?
Thanks!

I also have slightly receeding gums as a result of brushing too hard and am more concerned about the cost of the procedure, because that is what will be the deciding factor. Anything over a few hundred worries me.

hello I have been quoted £1500 for a gum graft procedure but the periodontist called it gum plastic surgery. How much does gum grafting usually cost? is this about the right price or too expensive.

Do you recommend doing invisalign before or after gum grafting? Will invisalign help with my under bites. Please advise… Thanks!

Hi I would recommend having Invisalign before gum grafting, however any gum problems must be treated before any orthodontic treatment or tooth movement. Invisalign can help some underbites depending on how simple it is as often there is a jaw discrepancy which may limit the end result. Good luck

Hi id like to enquire into the gum grafting.

Im only 22 but ive got a very blunted papillae particularly in between my front teeth you can actually see through it i have slight recession but haven’t any exposed roots. My gums are healthy pink without any calculus so i dont need any hygienist visits my recession is due to gingivitis about 6years ago and over brushing ever since. Would the gum graft be suitable for me it is purely for aesthetics as it really bothers me. Thanks

I have weak gums (bleeding gums) and my front teeth are not straight. Currently i see a hygienist every 3 months. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss, use d tepe brushes n use mouthwash and my gums still bleed, but not as much as before. I have been seeing the hygienist for the past 3 years. I am so frustrated now and i want to smile again. Please can you advice me wether i can get my teeth straightened with braces or have implants, bone grafting. I will be looking forward to hear from you. Many Thanks

Please come for an assessment so we can determine if your gum condition is healthy enough to have orthodontics. Alternatively ask your dentist to refer you to a Periodontist (a gum specialist) for advice Best wishes

Where can I get get considered for gum grafting in the greater manchester area? I have no upper teeth and serious gum recession on the bottom jaw?

You can search for a Periodontist (gum specialist), who will be able to assess your gums and the potential need or not for grafting. There are several periodontists in that area, you could ask your regular dentist to be referred if necessary.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me, I’m 24 years old and I’ve been having bleeding gums for about 5 years now and been taking Corsodyl on and off for the same length of time, which stops bleeding for a short while then it starts again. It stains my teeth so I take a break from it to allow my teeth to become whiter again. My dentist just tells me to keep brushing and flossing, which I am doing, but the gums are still bleeding. Any advice you can give or other treatments I could try?

You need to have professional cleaning done and be shown how to clean properly. Bleeding gums is a sign of a problem and should not be accepted and there will be a way to get on top of this, if you dentist is unsure, why not ask for a referral to a PEriodontist

Hi, Can you recommend a n antimicrobial mouth rinse please? i have looked in the supermarket and find that the prices are very different. I don’t have gum disease, but at 40 years feel I should be taking more precautions. Can you suggest one that is effective please?

Mouth wash will not protect against gum disease but a fluoride containing mouthwash will help in terms of reducing the risk of decay. Most contain Fluoride.

My teeth bleed a little when I brush and I’m 14, is this bad? And is it gum disease and can it be treated and healed?

I’ve got a hole in one of my lower teeth. Due to having a hole the gum by the teeth is quite swollen The dentists says before they can do the filling in that teeth I would need to go to 4 scale and polish sessions. Would the scale and polish sessions help to reduce the gum swelling ? My gum is only swollen in one place so would the scale and polish help? I’ve had this problem for quite a long time now. What do I do. The gum is really swollen in one place. What can I do to help with the swelling of the gums. Would the scale and polish help with my gum swelling. Thank You

It sounds like a generalised gum problem if you need that many visits so its best to sort that out first before finishing the filling. perhaps he could place a temporary filling in the meantime?

My gums bleed when removing the trays and I have dry mouth , gums feel itchy through out the day . Is this normal & should I notify mt dentist! Sores in the back of my cheeks!

It is not normal for your gums to bleed. Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and it is recommended that you book in to see your dentist.

I am a young teen who hates getting up in the morning. I rarely brush my teeth. But when I give my teeth a good brush my teeth always bleed. I have tried aqua fresh and Colgate toothpaste but it doesn’t seem to help. Please can you advise me on what I should do to have a healthier mouth. Also if I keep bushing my teeth everyday will the bleeding stop? Or is there something else you have to do like use mouth wash or floss every day of the week?

Just by brushing your teeth twice a day, you should see a reduction in the bleeding within around 10 days. You sound like you are an inconsistent brusher and consistency and thoroughness is the key. Ideally, you would also clean between you teeth with floss or brushes, but I would focus on the tooth brushing first and see how that goes
