I have had a soregum behind my front tooth on the gum line could the tooth need root canal

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Q.
I hope that you can help. For the past week I have had a very soregum behind my front tooth not on the gumline but further down on or under the tooth dump. It is only sore behind the one tooth, and is very painful even if just touched by my tongue and the gum pulses after touching. The tooth feels great above the gum line no sensitivity and pain feels like it pulses through it just the gum. I have has a swollen glands for the last 3 days and dentist said that this was the reason and that it will clear up naturally. I had xrays and they have come back all clear. Why would only one tooth be affected by this as gums next to the tooth don’t hurt one bit? and is their anything I do to help the situation out. ie medicated mouthwash etc Please help even eating is very difficult now. Could the tooth need root canal or extraction without proof on xray”

Friday, June 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello, thank you for your time. I had lost my front tooth as a child. Later on they gave me a partial for my front tooth. I was told I have no bone in my gums to have a bridge. I heard of a procedure called and monroe procedure?? Where they have a tooth with metal on the sides of it and it would anchor off my other teeth. Is this the best way to go?? I cannot get bone augmentation to get a bridge. Do you have any suggestions??? THANK YOU

I have bleeding in my gums and have got worse can i have gum grafting in NHS

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Q.
After having braces about 5 years ago I noticed when they were took off slight gum recession on my front lower two teeth. This has got progressively worse, I am now 20 and my front two teeth have very little gum left and bleed when I touch them, they are slightly wobbly. I keep going back to my dentist who has told me different things every time, last time I went he told me there was still gingivitis in my gums but that my gums had grown back, when in actual fact my gums have got a lot worse. I am brushing twice daily with an electric toothbrush, brushing upwards on my gums, flossing, and I have gengigel which I apply before going to bed. I have recently started using cordosyl mouthwash. I realise I need to go back to the dentist but I am not confident at all in his abilities anymore. What is the best course of action for my gums and is it possible to save my teeth as they are only very slightly wobbly. I have heard of gum grafts, could this be an option, and also is there anything else you think I should do to help my gums and teeth? I realise I will have to pay for gum grafts, can I get this on the Nhs or will I have to go private and could you tell me an estimation of the cost. I am 20 and in full time education (college) but receive no benefits. Thanks in advance,

My bottom teeth have black lines randomly across the inside what is this?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Q.
My gums started bleeding recently when i brushed my teeth, so i started using a mouthwash specially for gingivitus and thankfully it stopped. However when i looked closly at my bottom teeth in the mirror earlier i noticed they have black lines randomly across the inside. They look like lots of little thunderbugs. Theyre only on my molar and bicuspid teeth (think thats what theyre called) There arent any marks on the front or back of the teeth, just the top. What is this??

Im 23 and my gums are infected and i had dry socket help with my dental phobia

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Q.
I am 23 years old and at my wits end with my teeth. My front four top and bottom are the only ones which are okay. Every other tooth is filled beyond belief, infected or causing me problems. I have developed a SEVERE phobia of dentists now and have to be sedated to have any treatment. It took me 2 and a half years to build up the courage to have a decayed molar that was ground down to the root removed in March. the gum became infected thereafter and I had dry socket…. now, June 2009 and the surrounding teeth are causing me problems. I am now on the waiting list to be sedated to get these teeth sorted. My question is: Is there ANY dentist… is it even heard of that a dentist will remove MOST (not all) of my teeth… under sedation of course? I am honestly at my wits end with them now I cannot cope with anymore dental problems. I would give anything to have all of my back teeth and side teeth removed leaving me with only my front four on the top and bottom. I would happily live toothless for the rest of my life if it meant no more toothache. Thanks for your help.
