i am bothered by the black triangle between my two front teeth what would you suggest?

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
I have a problem with receding gums – mostly on my upper 8 front teeth. I have recently undergone root planing treatment for gum disease, which is now under control. My dentist said that due to the width of the recessions, gum grafting would not be an option to cover the areas. I have read about a removable gingival prosthesis, but am unable to find informtion on this. In particular, I am bothered by the black triagle between my two front teeth. Other than this gum problem, my teeth are very healthy. What would you suggest?

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have an eating disorder anorexia/bulimia I have been self inducing myself to throw up for about 3 years… I know that this causes acid to basically deteriorate my insides.. but I for some reason think that what I have in my mouth is mouth cancer and not from the acid how do i know the difference.. I would like reassurance that its just the acid and not the C word so i can stop convincing myself that I’m dying so i can stop being so stressed about having something i do not so i can stop throwing up and finally start the healing process.. what is in my mouth is the front bottom teeth one front bottom tooth at gum line is receding and has a couple sores around it, it hurts, and i already have a chipped front tooth, also the back of my mouth where there is free space behind my last set of teeth seems to be raw but dry and cracked.. please i am begging to know what you think…i know i need professional help but your input and time taken to respond would be greatly be appreciated… thank you..

Q.
I’ve had surgery in the past for gum recession and have a few more teeth to get done. I found it very painful. Can I just have cosmetic lumineers placed over my teeth, instead of going through the surgery. I have good strong teeth, but the gum is receeding.

i have pain in my left upper 6 is this something a dentist should see?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Q.
Hello, Although I’m taking antibiotics for almost 2 weeks (actually it was a week, then 2 weeks brake and now second week) because of a soft pocket above my left upper 6 the pain just won’t go away. To that pocket we need to add gum recession that started when I was 18 but it seems to stop although it goes pretty high on both of my upper 6es. The pain varies from day to day but when it comes it affects my jaw, especially the region close to the ear, the ear itself and gum-line area of my bottom teeth. Nonetheless it always starts high above my left upper 6. Almost as high as I can reach with my finger. Is this something a dentist should see or would you rather advise to see some other doctor. Many thanks.

Q.
I have had gum disease. My gum line is very receded and therefore my teeth are very “long”. I have been treated and see a dentist regularly but would like to improve the looks of my front teeth. I also have big gaps between my teeth where the gums used to be. Am I a candidate for lumineers?
