Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I had root plaining done with I belive he said a thing that uses a laser and water. how long will it take for my gums to turn pink. A month, a few weeks? He did half of my mouth. Half the top and half the bottom in one visit. It went great, but I didn’t ask and he didn’t say. He didn’t put anything between my teeth, or anything. If you could let me know. I don’t want to get to exceited, but they’re looking a little better already and they never even hurt the day it was done. Ty.

Do I have a root infection?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Ok here is my question, We know that natural teeth are best, But say that a tooth has been sheered, say a back upper tooth is sheered down to gum level, And now lets assume its been like that for more than 10 years. When teeth are natural they can apply extreme pressures. But when you have a denture eating an apple is hard on the gums. But when the back tooth is sheered but is natural why is it, That when minimum force is applied that pain is met from the resistance force of the gum, The nerve is dead for the tooth, The nerves in the surrounding gum are all healthy, But for that half tooth or the roots that remain, it cannot sustain pressure without giving-sending out pain signals, Why is this. Thanks.

Can anything be done about an implant treatment gone wrong?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Q.
I have nearly finished treatment for an implant. However the way my gum was cut to place the implant means I have a v shaped gap in my gum, so the crown will not follow my normal gum line – the first one they tried had pink coloured porcelain at the top, (about 1/2 cm) which didn’t match my gum! It looks terrible. Can anything be done about this?,

What treatment should I get for tooth that has darkened?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister. I am desperate for some professional help with my teeth. I would say my general dental appearence is good, however I have a dead single tooth at the upper front. This tooth was banged a few years back and as a result the nerve has shrunk up into my gum. When tested at the dentist I had a cold compression test and did not feel anything. My question is this, at present the tooth is discloured, (a yellow tinge)and due to increased brushing there is a dark mark at the top of my gum line. This hugely affects my confidence and will to smile. I have considered whitening treatments but am worried that because the tooth is dead and more discoloured it will stand out more, I have thought about veneers and other dental surgery but get told different things each time. what would you suggest, im really upset and need some honest, professional advice and direction.,

Is ooze coming from sinus on gums normal?

Friday, February 5th, 2010
Q.
I have a dental implant which was fitted about two years ago. All was well until about a month and a half ago when I noticed that the gum around the implant was becoming increasingly sore. I saw my dentist who referred me to a dental surgeon (the surgeon who fitted the implant no longer works at the practise). I have a “sinus” on the gum which is constantly oozing in to my mouth and that part of the gum often throbs. I have been advised to scrub the sinus on the gum with cordysl gel and to take mouth washes. Is this normal? The surgeon reckons it is improving and antibiotics are not allowed.,
