Q.
I am nearly coming to the end of invisalign treatment and have found that my top front teeth have gone forward and caused me to have a bit of an overbite. Also my lower left canine gum has receded, which must be due to brushing too hard as I don’t have gum disease. Will invisalign refinements be able to push my front teeth back a bit? or is there any other treatment that can fix my bite? Where can I go to get a gum graft, as it is causing me a lot of anguish.

Q.
Hi, I am terribly worried. I am 52 and when I went for a routine 6 month check up the other day, I was told by my dentist that I have gum desease. she took an x ray and a lot of the bone on my lower gumms has eroded away. I am devastated! I have always looked after my teeth and never had a dentist show any real concern. I was told about 4 years ago that I had some slight pocketing but to keep flossing etc which I do daily and I have had my teeth de-scaled for years now. I have now been refered to a dental hygienist. Will I lose all my teeth? I am really scared and can’t sleep with worry. The thought of having false teeth terrifies me. Can this be reversed or even stopped in it’s tracks? I will do anything to remedy it. Please can you help?

Q.
I had a veneer on my lateral incisor around 4 years ago. Last year I noticed that the tooth was discoloured around the gum line and had a bad smell/taste and feeling of pressure – never pain. After several courses of antibotics my Dentist performed root treatment, twice as it was unsuccessful the first time. My tooth still smells and tastes bad and my dentist is baffled – any ideas? I think perhaps there is a gap between the veneer and my tooth and that the front shell of my tooth is rotting, could that be the case – is there anything can be done? Thanks
