Hi. I go to the dentist regularly for my check up and even had braces for almost 3 years. I have had my braces off nearly a year and have noticed recently my gums have receded quite a lot. My front right tooth has become loose and is getting looser as the days go by and is causing me pain now but didn’t before I brushed my teeth 3 times a day, sometimes more because I panic my teeth are going to fall out. I think I have gum disease but the dentist have never said anything about having gum disease and I used to go the dentist every 3 months sometimes before every 3 months to have my braces tightened and nobody said anything. I also went the dentist 2 weeks ago and my dentist still didn’t say anything about my gums being so low I have booked my self back in with the dentist and I’m scared in case they take my teeth out as I’m only 18 can you help please?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014Is There Any Practice In The North Which Does Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation? Or Do I Need To Travel To London?
Tuesday, April 15th, 2014Hi Mark. I’m very interested in having pinhole gum rejuvenation after seeing it on the web. I have found several practices that do this procedure but they’re all in the south east of the country and I live in the north east. I was wondering if you knew of any one in the North who could carry out this procedure? My gums have receded very badly particularly on my bottom teeth. I do see my own dentist every six months and brush and floss twice a day. I thought it was something I would have to live with until I saw this procedure.
Why are my teeth so sensitive?
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011I have receeding gums and sensitive teeth.eg eating icecream one day is fine the next terrible pain. always have sensitve teeth even when i have not ate or drunk anything for a couple of hours.wake up in the morning sensitive teeth not painful but pain always in the background. dentist told me my brushing is perfect but i have to admit many years ago i use to scrub my teeth very very hard hence why they are probably the way they are. hospital told me to see my dentist soon so that he can put something on my gums and use a type of light on them which will happen in a couple of weeks then back to hospital in october to see how they are. hop you can help as i want them whitened.
Can you use veneers to correct an overbite problem?
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Hello doctor can you use veneers to correct a problem overbite – I have been advised to have 6 upper veneers and 8 lower venners and to have all the work completed at once ( in a series of visits) as the dentist would be correcting a very problematic overbite and grinding problem. Surely, with this kind of problem would veneers on the front lower teeth be advisable in the first place? and what options do I have for improving the appearance of the lower teeth and to stop the wear ffrom the grinding?Many thanks for your time

How long will it take for my receeding gums to recorrect themselves following having crowns fitted?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 Hi there!
I just had a lot of work done to my teeth about 2 and a half weeks ago, including 9 crowns in the front on the top. I went out of the country for all of my work and crammed the whole process into a 12 day span. The temps made my gums very irritated and inflamed, so irritated in fact that they had to re-do 2 of my crowns because my gums receded so bad. So now that I have my crowns in, I’m having problems with my gums, and worried they will recede again. Maybe I’m just paranoid… I’ve been taking extra care with brushing and even massaging them. How long will it take for my gums to come down over the crowns and what can I do to help the process? I think I just need some reassurance.
Has my cancer treatment caused me to lose my teeth?
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010Hi Dr Moore. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 2000. Its now 10 years later, and i am totally cancer free, with no symptoms, or any defects, except for my teeth, which is literally falling apart in my mouth. Is this the effect of the radiation and chemotherapy I had, 10 years ago. The problem started about 6 years ago. What can i do, i do brush my teeth and try to keep a good mouth hygiene.
Is there any way I can get cosmetic dentistry without paying a fortune for it?
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010I’ve had problems with my teeth for as long as I can remember. But now things are getting worse. Despite regular brushing and using mouthwash my teeth are quite discoloured and now I’ve also noticed I have 3 loose teeth. I want to have more confidence when I smile but now I need implants as well. Unfortunately I’ve been made redundant and can’t afford to have the work done. Is there anyway I can get a brighter smile at least without paying fortunes for it?,
