I’m terrified that I’ll loose all my teeth and I don’t want invasive surgery. What are my alternatives?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I thought I had pretty good teeth, I am 53 and they are white and very good shaped. the Dentist said yesterday I have gum disease (deep kind at the bone) at back of both lower and upper. talking about gum surgery and other one hour sessions in the chair and lots of money I dont have. importantly I dont feel I can go through with the invasive side of this deep cleaning of root etc. Whats my alternative – would it cure me if I have them out – I just cant do this and I am terrified. I am manic about teeth and cant believe this has happened in 21/2yrs since all fine. whats the easiest way through it, general anaesthetic at dental hospital or have them out or what. Help!! Im sick with worry, how long have I got , will all my teeth fall out and how soon??????,

Are my teeth deteriorating because of my diet?

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Q.
I feel so unlucky with my teeth, I have had several fillings when younger, so I always try to look after and clean my teeth well. Even using an electris toothbrush. I have just broken a peice off a preiviously filled molar tooth, I thought that there would be an alternative but my dentist has removed it saying it was too soft. But my real worry is that I have receding gums in the front, My dentist does clean them or flush them! and gives me cleaning instructions but I really don’t think this is the problem as they have never bled when cleaned and do not look like the pictures of gum disease, Please Help what can I do, the possibility of loosing them is my worst nightmare, could my diet be to blame or the fact I am on the depo injection,

Will the fact I’ve had gum disease and some recession prevent me from straightening my teeth?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I’m 27 years old and have very healthy and white teeth with no fillings. I had braces when I was younger (15) but as I stopped wearing my retainer my teeth have since moved a bit and are not as straight as I would like. I was thinking about going for the invisalign treatment to re-straighten the teeth which have moved. However there is a problem – when I went to the dentist recently he said over the last 3 years I have suffered from some gum disease which has led to a small amount of bone loss on my two very back teeth (diagnosed from routine x-rays in a check up). I have also noticed a small amount of recession on two of my front teeth. Anyway, I’ve rectified the problems with my gums now (through hygienist visits and an electric toothbrush) and they are healthy and pink now. Will the fact I’ve had gum disease and some recession prevent me from straightening my teeth?,
A.
As long as the gum disease has… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
