I am 25 yrs old and how can I improve the damage I have caused in my gums?

Q. Hi, I have previously suffered from gum disease that have left me with gaps between my teeth & pockets between my gum & teeth when viewed in an x-ray. I wish I had looked after my teeth better during my teens. I am now 25 & really want to improve my teeth apart from improved oral hygene how can I improve the damage I have caused. It makes me really sad.

A. The first treatment in all cases is to stop any further deterioration. This all boils down to you maintaining perfect oral hygiene.
Once stable veneers, periodontal (gum ) aesthetic surgery and bone & soft tissue grafting may all be possible.
Costs are too variable to quote.
