Menapause caused gums to shrink creating a gap exposing tooth base uniformly

Q. Female, 62, full porcelain fused to gold crown uppers. Menapause caused gums to shrink, creating a gap exposing tooth base uniformly. Otherwise beautiful expensive crowns….any regenerative gum procedure out there?

A. You could consider a gingival graft to cover the margins of the crowns if enough bone exists around the roots of the teeth.

Please consult a Periodontist for this treatment or contact our practice if you need help finding one

I have 2 teeth at the bottom that have been shifted higher then the rest of my teeth . I bite my tongue a lot by accident . They look like bunny rabbit teeth,” but at the bottom. One of the 2 are kinda loose , so i don’t know what may need to take place to correct this problem. The loose tooth don’t have the support on the right side , because there is a tiny space in between . I needing advice

I woke up one morning with the feeling of pressure on my front teeth. They were sore for a few day including my gums and felt like they were moving back and forth. They got better but I still have the loosening or popping of my 4 front teeth. Happens more when I eat something, that could be anything from ice cream to yogurt to a steak dinner. I am having anxiety over this and have a dentist appt but can’t seem to wait that long for answers!!
