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

im showing gums and black marks on my lower teeth

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
Q.
My hygienist removed lots of plague on lower front teeth, exposing gum and black marks on my lower teeth. Spittal ? is coming through my lower teeth now when i talk, making me very self conscious, also with the gum recession, and the black marks which look like gaps, i need someone to help advise me on the next step. I am trying to stop smoking as i know this is not doing my gums any good. I take corsidil and eurofril mouth was every day, and gently brush my teeth, – no more scrubbing up and down.

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.

i had a swolen face and blurrred vision after my gums were numbed

Friday, September 26th, 2008
Q.
I had to have two fillings in the hand side of my jaw. After having the injections to numb the area, my vision was distorted (seeing double). My face looked as if i had a stroke, and was considerably swollen. I have never experienced this before, is this normal reaction to having gums numbed for fillings. Afterwards i could not see properly for about 2.5 hrs.
