my gums hurt and my upper teeth are pushing upwards
Q. Hi, i am 30 years old and have recently in the past couple of months occurred a problem with my upper teeth. i had a perfect overbite and underbite and my teeth have never had any kind of problems in the past but i have no idea whats going on my gums hurt alot now and i feel my upper teeth still pushing upwards. i have been to my dentist and the only explanation he has is that for some reason my teeh could be moving upwards because that back teeh are pushing foward but i find that hard to accept because all my other teeh seem to be in the exact place as before, so please could you help me understand my problem because at this age i was not expecting such a problem.
A. Hi,
unfortunately it is very difficult to give you a proper diagnosis without a clinical examination. If your teeth are moving, the bone structure or periodontal condition need to be assessed. There is not proven evidence to suggest wisdom teeth can cause crowding of teeth later on in life, but you are not the first person to ever suggest this to be a cause.
If the teeth are not causing the problems, then consider the gums. Have you dentist examine the health of the gums and see if there is any underlying pathology.
