I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease

Friday, December 5th, 2008
Q.
Hi Dr I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease which really shocked me, main reasons been I look after my teeth so much I don’t smoke and as far as I’ve found out its not in my family history. Only 3 months after the dentist informed me of this I had to get a tooth at the back of the right side of my mouth taken out which my dentist told me was due to my gum disease I’m now really afraid now that I’ll be left with no teeth by my 40s which would be awful for me as I really take pride of my teeth and it’s always the first thing I notice in person. I’ve only just had my orthodontic braces removed 2 years ago and now this. What can I do to stop this gum disease or prevent it and what is the worst case scenario???? Many

I am considering buying a home whitening kit via the internet

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Tennet I am considering buying a home kit via the internet to whiten my teeth. I have one veneer – upper front, and I wanted your advice on whether or not the whitening process will in any way interfere/damage or even make it a different colour to my own teeth? Also, is there a particular type/brand of kit you would recommend? I know that some brands are offering a laser plasma light to accelerate the process – What should I be wary of? Finally would you advice me to do this at home? I can’t really afford dental prices…. I have sensitive teeth and gums and already use a toothpaste for this problem. Many thanks for your time

A dentist recently recommended the best teeth brushing technique

Monday, November 10th, 2008
Q.
A dentist recently recommended the best technique for brushing teeth is by starting on your gum and flicking the brush to the tip of the tooth. This apparently decreases the likelhood of rubbing plaque etc into the gumline as well as decreasing the likelihood of receding gums. Despite the above advice, I notice many websites still suggest brushing your teeth in a circular motion. I write a youth newsletter and was going to put in it some ‘handy hints for maintaining healthy teeth’. What would you suggest I write and can I put your name next to it?

Ive had bad dentistry and adult missing teeth

Friday, August 15th, 2008
Q.
Having had a history of both bad dentistry and problems with my teeth (ie adult teeth missing) I now have none of my upper back teeth and a couple of back teeth missing from my lower mouth. I have had dentures made for the upper mouth but due to constant gagging I have not been able to wear this, despite my dentist making several alterations. I was then advised that implants may be the solution but as I have read, smokers are not advised to have this treatment (I am currently giving up). And I feel that as I am an NHS patient then implants will not be a viable option anyway. I wondered if there is any solution to my problem as I am now experiencing problems with my remaining teeth as they are put under more use and strain. Having other members of the family with similar problems it appears that an hereditory condition that has meant adult teeth are missing has now been identified with both of my children. However, the children are under the care of an orthadontist and so I am hopeful they will not experience the issues I have. I really would like to recieve any information that will help me as now the gaps are noticable when I smile etc and have had a knock on effect to my own confidence as well as my facial features. I am 44 years of age.
