My gums are receding day-by-day inturn increasing length of teeth

Q. My gums are receding day-by-day inturn increasing the length of my both front teeth and my gums bleed very frequently.since i dont have an insurance i never consulted a dentist.which treatment/surgery do you recommend for me(plz include the cost of the surgery) & which dental insurance is best for me???

A.

It sounds like you have gum disease. This needs to be dealt with otherwise you are at risk of loosing your teeth. Unfortunately I don’t know of any insurance scheme that would cover this. If there were then just like medical insurance it would not cover pre existing conditions.
 Many dentists have finanace plans which allow the cost to be spread over a number of years. This will be your best option. Treatment of gum disease is fairly involved and would cost between £500 and £800
Kind regards
