My gums are receeding they are sensitive and bleed when i eat what is the best treatment?

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi There, I am 46 years of age i have hardly any decay in my teeth, however my gums have been receding over the past 2 years….I have attended regular check ups and cleaning appointments. My dentist has not given me much advice he say’s it’s where i smoked? but i also clean my teeth twice a day so maybe over brushing as well…Anyway they have receded and have very sensitive gums…They have got worse over the past few weeks. My main front tooth is loose and the next to it? My dentist still leaves dirt around my teeth after a cleaning consultation? Anyway i have not eaten properly for the past 2 weeks….as my gums are so sore…my dentist say’s thats what is to be expected?..My whole gum hurts and if i eat anything hard they bleed…Not right or good at all….He is trying to persuade me to have implants to replace my 2 loose teeth? …surly this is not correct? Sorry for wafaling on! My question is what is the best treatment? dentures, implants? at the moment i want all my teeth gone as i am suffering a great deal…I can not change my dentist as there are no dentists in my area available…My dentist is private,yet i have lost all faith in him?….can you give me any advice on gum treatment and tooth replacements. I don’t mind paying for the correct treatment and implants/dentures if i knew what i needed? Regards From a very sore and hungry L
