my wisdom tooth is loose australia

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
Hi Doctor, and I am a single Mum two. I live in Melbourne Australia, I went to the dentist for the first time in years (like most people, I simply could not afford it) and was told I had gum disease, my lower back tooth nest to my wisdom tooth is loose and he also said I have it on the opposite side up the top. I have been flossing daily and and using a mouth wash, will I loose this tooth eventually or can I save it and the ones surrounding it if I keep up great hygene? I’m never going to be able to afford implants in the future, please help, I am really frightened. Thank you so much for your time. Kind Regards

I have been successfully treated for periodontal disease

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have been successfully treated for periodontal disease which is now stable. However some black triangles have appeared. I am extremely depressed about this and cannot smile unselfconsciously. I have been advised that veneers or cosmetic bonding are options but am terrified of the disease starting up again. Obviously I would have regular hygiene visits and practice excellent homecare. I would really appreciate your input on this and also which, in your opinion, is the best option from a hygiene point of view.

Both options tend to make clea… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Have had a “knot” in my upper gum

Saturday, September 27th, 2008
Q.
Have had a “knot” in my upper gum around tooth #2 and #3 for almost 2 years. Dentist said nothing to worry about. Now after reg. Dr. said to have CT scan of this “cyst” it was found to be an abscess at the root of an old root canal. This infection has been here for 2 years….could this explain chronic fatigue, and stomach conditions with this untreated infection in body? Also endodotist now says he can do apicoectomy, but I’m wondering if at this point if an extraction may be best. Why is it so important to “keep this tooth if at all possible” if I can always get a bridge or implant later? Please advise… sooo tired mom.
