I noticed my gums were swollen and now I can see a tooth coming through. I am 26 and don’t know what to do?

Friday, October 29th, 2010
Q.

I then garggled with salt and water. Today i see a tiny peek of what looks like a tooth apperaring. i am 26 years old and i dont know what to do. I have seen blogs on the surgery and i am scared straight. is there even hope for me due to my age. My other canine is still a baby but the adult tooth is not appearing yet.

My daughter had braces fitted in January and swollen gums and other problems soon followed. Was this an allergic reaction?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
My daughter (10) had braces fitted in January. After a week or so she developed small marks, resembling cold sores, on either side of her mouth.They gradually have become much larger and unsightly. I have been told they are not cold sores but maybe connected with the braces. She also has very swollen gums. I am very strict with her oral hygiene and we do everything as we have been directed but the problems is not improving. Last week our orthodontist removed her braces and asked us to return in 1 month. Her mouth and gums have started to cleared up since the metal bar was removed. Could she be allergic to the metal or could it be how we are taking care of her teeth?,
A.
I doubt its an allergy, just r… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Need to fix my bite and get gum graft, please suggest.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
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.

A.
I guess refinement might help … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Confused as I cannot find a reason for my smelly and rotting teeth.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
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

You either have the abscess st… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Due to grinding I have gum receeding and loosing my smile.

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, For as long as I can remember I have suffered from bruxism. I sleep with a nightguard which my NHS dentist made for me but my gums seem to be receeding as a result of the grinding, which I think has now led to gum disease, and my upper anterior teeth are becoming very thin and I’m terrified of them snapping off altogether. I’m only 27 and hate my smile. My teeth seem to be wearing down and decaying very quickly and I’m terrified of having to wear a denture. Do you think crowns and possibly gum grafts may help me? I really don’t want to lose my teeth and my NHS dentist doesn’t seem to care.

A.
Wear, tooth decay and receedin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
