I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease

Friday, December 5th, 2008
Q.
Hi Dr I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease which really shocked me, main reasons been I look after my teeth so much I don’t smoke and as far as I’ve found out its not in my family history. Only 3 months after the dentist informed me of this I had to get a tooth at the back of the right side of my mouth taken out which my dentist told me was due to my gum disease I’m now really afraid now that I’ll be left with no teeth by my 40s which would be awful for me as I really take pride of my teeth and it’s always the first thing I notice in person. I’ve only just had my orthodontic braces removed 2 years ago and now this. What can I do to stop this gum disease or prevent it and what is the worst case scenario???? Many

I wear an upper denture at the moment and aged 31

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi there I wear an upper denture at the moment, and aged 31 this isnt ideal. I have looked into dental implants before but have been advised twice now that I have so little bone underneath the gum that I will need bone grafts taken from my hip. Im not too sure that I want bone taken from anywhere else and also the £40k price tag will also be an issue for me. I am at the stage now where I am not even leaving the house, and when Im taking the children to school, I dont even step out of the car. I am on anti-depressants longterm due to this also. It is significantly affecting my life and I’m investigating every area of hope at the moment. I already can feel how loose my denture has become recently and know I am on borrowed time with those, so really am desperate. Any advice you could give me would be fantastic. Many thanks x

I am considering buying a home whitening kit via the internet

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Tennet I am considering buying a home kit via the internet to whiten my teeth. I have one veneer – upper front, and I wanted your advice on whether or not the whitening process will in any way interfere/damage or even make it a different colour to my own teeth? Also, is there a particular type/brand of kit you would recommend? I know that some brands are offering a laser plasma light to accelerate the process – What should I be wary of? Finally would you advice me to do this at home? I can’t really afford dental prices…. I have sensitive teeth and gums and already use a toothpaste for this problem. Many thanks for your time
