I have just lost my tooth to gum recession, how can I stop this happening again?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Having recently lost a tooth due to gum recession I’d like to know of any health supplements that would encourage gum / bone regeneration or , failing that , that would prevent further loss.
Dental advice over the years has failed to indicate such problems – both NHS and private practices – leading to a painful and worrying situation in which I have lost a perfectly healthy tooth ( I looked at it after extraction ) due to gum and bone erosion and found out – all of a sudden – that there is a major problem. hope you can help, thank you for your time

Can veneers be used to cover exposed root caused by gum recession?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Andrew Moore. I am sending across a question over for your attention. I hope you have the time to answer it for me: My original teeth are already quite large and long, and I have redeeing gums and exposed roots in nearly all the upper front teeth. I also have quite a gummy smile so it shows every time I smile. My question is: Once receeding gums cause has been stopped and treated, can veneers be placed to cover also the exposed root? If so, and to avoid the veneered teeth looking too long, can the original tooth be shortened prior to veneer? Thanks and I hope you have a nice day!

A.
Yes that can be done provided … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What should I do about gum recession?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I have some gum recession behind my lower front two teeth, probably from 10 years of smoking. I have since given up and endeavour to keep my teeth in good health. Both teeth have some slight movement in them, one a very small amount and the other less than a millimetre, but concerning nonetheless. Can one get gum grafting in the UK and would this help?

Many thanks,

A.

My receding gums are causing the enamel to wear away, can I have treatment to stop decay?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have receding gums (I am 35) and on some of the front teeth the enamel is wearing away. I am concerned about getting cavities if this continues (as I have cavities on 3 wisdom teeth already). Is there anything I can do to prevent the gums receding but also protect the enamel i.e. can you have a small filling put over the place where the enamel has worn away?

Many thanks for your advice

How long will it take for my receeding gums to recorrect themselves following having crowns fitted?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

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.

A.
Hopefully the gums will reboun… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
