White sore on the gum, is there anything that can be done to stop the pain

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Good day, I recently bit my gums extremely hard when I was eating. Ever since then, there has been a pain sort of like a burn that come whenever food,drinks, my tongue come into contact with the sore. It almost resembles a white sore. Is there anything that can be done to stop the pain? Or even making the healing process faster? It has made eating extremely uncomfortable. Thank you!

Q.

peridontal surgery is an interest to me

Monday, March 9th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, I visited my local dental practice today to get my teeth cleaned by a hygienist. She mentioned I had gum recession at the bottom of my front teeth. In previous conversations I have mentioned this to my dentist he has stated it will get better. I feel really paranoid as you can see the bone of my teeth and my big worry is that I dont wanna loose my tooth. I have done some research I have found out about peridontal surgery which is an interest to me because I would rather have surgery to cover up my missing gum tissue. I dont mind paying the cost of the surgery. I just need some advice of what I can do. I dont know places in Rochdale or Manchester where these treatments are provided. Please can you help me. Thanks

are there any other injections that are more likely to numb the nerves in my teeth

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Kailesh The injections given in your mouth to make it numb before drilling etc. do not work on me. They numb my lip, tongue, gum etc. but NOT the nerves in my teeth. I have been treated by dentists using sedation which at least helps me get through it, but I do still remember some pain. Are there any gum injections that are more likely to numb the nerves in my teeth so I don’t need sedation as my dentist has told me he is going to stop doing it and I’m desperate! Thanks.
