Im 30 and my gums are receding and my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks please advice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
I am a 30 year old mother of one. When I was in my early teens, I used to literally ‘peel’ my gums that rest on my teeth using my fingernails, and, I found that a new (thin) layer of gum used to grow back the next day, and I then used to continue this habit. I stopped for 2 years (mid-teens) when I had track braces fitted in, but then continued after they were taken off. I noticed when I was about 22 years of age that the thin layer of gums that I used to peel did not grow back, but I still perservered occasionally with this (yes, I admit!) bad habit! As a result, I have receding gums, and would like advice on what can be done to help restore my gums. Currently, because of my receding gums, I am finding that my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks and foods. I would be extremely grateful for your help/advice please. Thanks!

I have my caps on my second front tooth and my gums are reciding again what can be done

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I first have a question. When i was 11 i fell my front tooth came out and was put back in but the second front tooth next to it had to have a root canal at 18 i had it capped, within 6 months gums receded cap were really badly done,second time the caps were ok, but now my gums are reciding again and it does not look pleasant, am still very young, i fear losing my tooth in the process of capping and re-capping,i dont think tooth has a post. I was looking into your surgery and services as now that i can have all procelain cap without the metal plate, but is that a strong solution for a front tooth with root canal, are they as strong as porcelain with metal caps? i don’t want embarassing issues with a cap coming off? Do you provide this service, as i want my confidence back and want to come to someone who is a qualified dentist and a good cosmetic dentist please get back to me, i want to invest in my teeth wisely now that i can. Thank you

I have a bubble of pus on my gums how much does a valplast dentures cost?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had an accident at work 3 years ago which knocked two of my top teeth out. My dentist left the roots in for over a year an a half. He has now taken one root out and I have a small plate. There is one root still in there and everyday I have a bubble of pus on my gum where the root is. I am in agony, I saw a specialist in Guys hosp and he says that most of my teeth are mobile. I also have a slight protusion in my front teeth. All in all I hate the way I look and would either like a valpast partial denture as I have no back teeth to chew with. How much does a valplast denture cost? Or what would you suggest,I dont want a brace for my front teeth so could I have a bridge from one front tooth back, and the same on the other front tooth back? I need some expert advice because my dentist is always in such a rush he never listens to what I would like. I live in Rayleigh Essex. thanks
