Q. I am hoping you can give me some advise. I was a smoker for a long time and my dentist told me this was why my teeth were falling out, and gums receeding. I stopped smoking purchased an oral B brush, clean my teeth regularly and deep clean them also, but the receeding sstill continued. My mum has just informed me (I am 46) that the is a hiareditary problem of gum disease, this being why my gums are receeding. the left hand side of my mouth is worse particularly in the mouth. however I now have a wobbly tooth at the next to my two front ones and the gum has receeded up, it looks awful. I will probably have two maybe three weeks before it falls out. I am terrified. I have never be blessed with beautiful skill, but been proud of my smile and lips. I have lost some teeth but at the back so never bothered me. I have started using corsydil to help but the tooth is getting worse. Can I have implants, or can I have my teeth saved? is there such a treatment that can replace the gums before it is too late. how long do implants take or if I have another problem, and need bone restructuring and how much would this cost. I need some help as soon as possible Please help.
