Will I be refused braces as my gums are receding

Friday, July 31st, 2009
Q.
I am seeing my dentist on Tuesday about getting braces and also because my gums are bleeding when I floss (I have only just started flossing due to crowded lower teeth). I also have some gum recession on my bottom lower tooth which is protuding outwards quite a lot. I receive treatment under the nhs and am wondering if there is anything that can be done about the gum receeding under nhs? Also will I be refused barces as my gums are bleeding or because of gum recession?

Ive a hole in my gums and im worried about toxicity leaking advice

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr. Moore: Thank you for answering my question, and with such quickness. I have a follow up question to ask you. The tooth I was telling you about in my first question has broken as a result of an unattended cavity which I had not realized had rotted part of my crown. As a result I was eating something which broke the tooth in half (the crown). So I now have a hole in my gum where the tooth use to be. Would you still recommend using mouthwash and brushing? Also, from your knowledge and sound of my case is my tooth able to be salvaged and should I worry about any toxicity leaking into my system at all? Is this something that requires immediate attention, it just happened yesterday and I probably won’t be able to make it to the dentist until saturday sometime should I try to go in sooner? Sorry for all the questions and I appreciate your response once again!!! Thank you
