My gums have started to recede and it’s really embarrassing. Is there anything that can be done?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have got quite a big smile and I have always thought my teeth were my best feature. I must have been brushing too hard because the gum line has receded on the left side of my mouth. This is especially true for one tooth in the bottom left hand corner of my mouth which is giving me a lot of pain. The gum around my left top front tooth has receded a little and food keeps getting trapped between the tooth and the gum line. This is really embarrassing and is stopping me from going out with friends or eating in front of anyone without having to run to the toilet between every course. I am 25 and I don’t want to have to keep worrying about this. Is there anything that can be done? I don’t have a dentist at the moment as I have a bad experience a few years ago and I’m nervous of going back. Any help would be great.,

I am due to have a crown fitted but I am suffering from pain in the tooth nerve. Should I have root canal treatment?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
One of my back teeth has recently git damaged and I was told by my dentist that I would need a crown. He sprayed the back tooth to see if the nerve was still active, and I nearly hit the roof as it was so painful, my dentist said he had to do that to see if the nerve was ok. My dentist has ground down the tooth ready for the crown, and Im due to have the crown fitted on Friday, but since yesterday I have had cronic pain around that tooth, it feels very nervy and painful, should I have had a root canal? and will it be ok to just add a crown over the nerve? Id hate to have a crown fitted and then suffer with this pain. Thanks,

I have always suffered from a total phobia of the dentist, but my whole mouth is in pain. Can you please help me?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
Please help i`m so down about my teeth, i have always suffered from a total phobia since having a horrific incident with a dentist as a child, i used to have sedation when i had treatment but the dentist left and they stopped doing it, i seen his replacement who dropped the drill on my bottom teeth and split 2 of them, also knocked out my crown, she replaced the crown with a temp one and after 2 yrs still never replaced it, so now i have one that wiggles, just been to a new mhs dentist who removed a back tooth !!! and left the wiggling crown and split, and now those 2 bottom damaged teeth have completely split, so my whole mouth is aching, it`s really getting me down as i can`t seem to find a dentist who actually cares,and since being made redundant i can`t afford private care, please help i would be so grateful for some advice,

Daughter’s teeth are yellow and dentist says she could undergo teeth whitening, but can she?

Friday, August 13th, 2010
Q.
Hi. My 13yr old daughter has always had very yellow, badly ‘stained’ looking 2nd teeth (especially 1 at the front). My dentist informs me that she COULD undergo some degree of whitening at this age.She is so self-conscious of them that she only smiles with closed mouth. I’d be grateful if you could give me any info about proceedures,costs etc. My budget it very limited – she has been living in Johannesburg for the last 5 yrs, and she only comes back occassionally -all my money goes on this.
