My Dad Has Developed Periodontal Disease Through Having Diabetes. Is There Something He Can Do Temporarily Until He Gets Implants?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I have a question for you. My dad has diabetes (not because he is overweight or unhealthy) and has developed periodontal disease, he’s currently having treatment with a gum specialist and he has an appointment for a deep cleaning soon, but some of his teeth have fallen out and some are loose. Is there something that can be done temporarily like a bridge in order for him to have teeth until he has healthy enough gums to maybe get implants? He’s getting really paranoid, as his front tooth is loose and he is under a lot of stress through this.

I Am Currently Suffering From Some Bone Loss, Does This Mean I Will Need Dentures As I Am 60 Years Of Age?

Friday, October 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, My question concerns my top jaw which is made up mainly of crowns and bridges that have been in added at different times over the last 20 years or so, and my dentist has told me there is getting to be a big gap between the crowns and the bone of my jaw under my gums. The bone is wearing away which seems to be the problem causing the gap. Does this mean I will have to have dentures or can something be done about this? I am now 60 years of age.  Thanks, I hope you can help me with my request in due time.

How can I replace my missing gums?

Monday, July 22nd, 2013
Q.

I’m a smoker and have very bad gum disease, I’ve had it for 7 years or more and no amount of brushing or rinsing with mouthwash has got rid of it, it has taken away the whole of my gum between my right front tooth and my tooth beside it on both sides. Would there ever be a way to fix this? I can send you a picture please get in touch its really getting me down as I have no smile left and embarrassed to talk in public. Any help would be really appreciated as this is really getting me down. Many thanks.

Is there any treatment I can get for badly receding gums caused by overzealous brushing?

Monday, March 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello
I am fifty two years old and have never smoked or drunk in my life. I have got badly receding gums apparently due to the wrong type of brushing I have been doing. My teeth are very sensitive and they feel loose.I am scared that they are going to fall out.I have regular check ups at my dentist but he just says that it is my own fault for brushing too vigorously and that there is nothing that I can do.I was wondering if this is correct or if there are any procedures to stop the gums from getting any worse.If so could you possibly give me a rough idea of costs and where I could get any treatment.Many thanks
