I am 64 and my gums are shrinking

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
Q.
I am 64 and my gums are shrinking and I am noticing a gap which looks as if I have food stuck between my gum and my tooth – this is becoming embarrassing and I was wondering if there was a procedure to correct this – or like the aching joints something I have to put up with! I don’t have any dentures. thank you for your help.

I had veneers placed on my top six teeth two years ago

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
Q.
I had veneers placed on my top six teeth two years ago. They were fine for the first year but since then my gums have been pulling away from the edges of them. I have no gum disease and they do not bleed. My dentist used a special tool to ensure that edges of my veneers were not rough and irritating my gums but this hasn’t made any difference. The gum between my right front tooth and the tooth next to it has the worst recession and I can see the edge of the veneer. It also makes it look like the veneer on the tooth next to my front tooth is sticking out alot. What can I do about my gums? and would you recommend that I have a larger veneer placed on the tooth with the biggest gap? I also have stains along the gum line of my veneers. They are an unattractive yellow colour – I am seeing my dentist next month, will he be able to remove these stains? if not what do I do?

A dentist recently recommended the best teeth brushing technique

Monday, November 10th, 2008
Q.
A dentist recently recommended the best technique for brushing teeth is by starting on your gum and flicking the brush to the tip of the tooth. This apparently decreases the likelhood of rubbing plaque etc into the gumline as well as decreasing the likelihood of receding gums. Despite the above advice, I notice many websites still suggest brushing your teeth in a circular motion. I write a youth newsletter and was going to put in it some ‘handy hints for maintaining healthy teeth’. What would you suggest I write and can I put your name next to it?

Hi I am due to have two lower front teeth extracted

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi. I am due to have 2 lower front teeth extracted next week due to both being chronically infected one with an abscess. It is hoped to have a candleabara implant to replace both of them. Does this sound a viable option? I am also very concerned about this present infection causing this implant to fail even after all infection has gone and the gums have healed. could this be a possibilty. Also my dentist says I unusually show a lot of my lower gum and this could cause problems with aesthetics of the implant. I’m losing sleep over this (writing this at 2:30 am!)and seeking the best advice. I live locally to birmingham and would love to arange a consultation, nevertheless any info would be greatfully appreciated.

I have been successfully treated for periodontal disease

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have been successfully treated for periodontal disease which is now stable. However some black triangles have appeared. I am extremely depressed about this and cannot smile unselfconsciously. I have been advised that veneers or cosmetic bonding are options but am terrified of the disease starting up again. Obviously I would have regular hygiene visits and practice excellent homecare. I would really appreciate your input on this and also which, in your opinion, is the best option from a hygiene point of view.
