Before Christmas last year my dentist told me I had quite bad gum disease. In February this year my gums started bleeding and I used Corsodyl mouthwash (I had used it before) but my mouth and gums came up in ulcers and my gums were inflamed. My dentist couldn’t give me an appointment, I was in so much pain that I went to see another dental surgery who saw me there and then. The new dentist said I had an allergic reaction to the mouthwash. They discovered I have been grinding my teeth. Since then the ulcers have gone but now my gums have receded to the point that it feels like I have almost none, they hurt all the time, my teeth now hurt and I keep getting headaches. I saw the new dentists once a week for nearly 3 months and was sent to my GP for blood tests to check for underlying issues but it was clear. The new dentist said I need to see a periodontist – but they all charge more then I can afford. I’m a single parent on benefits and on NHS tax credit exemption. But I cannot find an NHS periodontist anywhere and I’m in constant pain. My GP referred me to a dental hospital but they do not offer the service I need. How can I get seen and treated via the NHS for this?

How Can I Get NHS Treatment for Gum Disease?
Friday, July 3rd, 2015How Can I Rid Myself Of The Nasty Pain Surrounding My Left Canine Gum Line?
Friday, January 3rd, 2014 Hello Dr Moore,
The gum surrounding my left canine at the bottom of my mouth is very, very sensitive as well as the bottom of the tooth.
If I touch it, it sends a nasty pain, and feeling. It has been like this for a few months now.
It has now started to affect the teeth either side of it also.
What could I do to rid myself of this pain?
Is there any surgery or dentistry I could have or could it prevented by buying any supplements etc.
Many thanks, I look forward to hearing your advice.
My mother has burning gums after using Corsodyl mouthwash too often and for too long. Can you help?
Monday, November 26th, 2012Dear Dr Kalpesh,
My mum had serious effect of excessive use of the mouthwash. She used this mouthwash called Corsodyl Mouthwash for almost 4 months. She used it 4 times in a day with at least 25-30 min at a time until she realised the change in her gums and teethes.
Now she has burning sensation almost all the time and it grows up efficiently if she had any high sugar containing foods. There is some colour change in the lower part of her tongue as well.
Could you please give me some suggestion, how these things could be cured and what major things does she need to do in order to have healthy gums and teeth back.
Thank you.
