I have a bubble of pus on my gums how much does a valplast dentures cost?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had an accident at work 3 years ago which knocked two of my top teeth out. My dentist left the roots in for over a year an a half. He has now taken one root out and I have a small plate. There is one root still in there and everyday I have a bubble of pus on my gum where the root is. I am in agony, I saw a specialist in Guys hosp and he says that most of my teeth are mobile. I also have a slight protusion in my front teeth. All in all I hate the way I look and would either like a valpast partial denture as I have no back teeth to chew with. How much does a valplast denture cost? Or what would you suggest,I dont want a brace for my front teeth so could I have a bridge from one front tooth back, and the same on the other front tooth back? I need some expert advice because my dentist is always in such a rush he never listens to what I would like. I live in Rayleigh Essex. thanks

Ive 3 teeth affected by gum disease can ive any treatment affordable than dental implant

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi there I have bad gum disease which has effected 3 teeth at the bottom of my mouth. I have been to my dentist today and she suggests false teeth which I am trying to avoid because of my age (30) She also mentioned that a mould may make the teeth fall out and that I would be without for ten days which I am devastated about (due to work and insecurity issues, I cant be without them) if I was too consider implants, could I keep my teeth until then and how quickly can it be done ?? Also would it be a problem with the sore gums etc ???? Is there any cheap options available as I really cant afford to have this done however I would be distraught and my teeth loss will effect my personality and confidence on a huge level .. is there any dentist training schools etc that need guinee pigs ?? I would really appreciate your help Thanks.

I stopped smoking and my gums are still receeding is there treatment to replace the gums

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Q.
I am hoping you can give me some advise. I was a smoker for a long time and my dentist told me this was why my teeth were falling out, and gums receeding. I stopped smoking purchased an oral B brush, clean my teeth regularly and deep clean them also, but the receeding sstill continued. My mum has just informed me (I am 46) that the is a hiareditary problem of gum disease, this being why my gums are receeding. the left hand side of my mouth is worse particularly in the mouth. however I now have a wobbly tooth at the next to my two front ones and the gum has receeded up, it looks awful. I will probably have two maybe three weeks before it falls out. I am terrified. I have never be blessed with beautiful skill, but been proud of my smile and lips. I have lost some teeth but at the back so never bothered me. I have started using corsydil to help but the tooth is getting worse. Can I have implants, or can I have my teeth saved? is there such a treatment that can replace the gums before it is too late. how long do implants take or if I have another problem, and need bone restructuring and how much would this cost. I need some help as soon as possible Please help.

I has periodontal disease and it has ruined my perfect smile how can i go about fixing it?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Around 5 years at the age of 18 I was told I had periodontal disease, thankfully it was caught early and treatment has been very sucessful and the disease is not ‘active’, I don’t suffer any bleeding etc so long as I look after my teeth properly on a daily basis. But for the time I went untreated before diagnosis I lost gum from the main affected areas around my top teeth which has ruined a perfect smile, although I appreciate it could have been much worse had it been left I’m not happy with how it looks especially given my young age. I’d like to know more about soft tissue grafts and what it would involve? My dentist will refer me when I can afford it (private treatment) so I’ve been unable to ask more about the procedure in detail and I’m quite cautious as it sounds scary. Can you tell me more about it? Thank you
