My gums wont stop bleeding should i need a root canal treatment please advice

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I wanted to ask about gum disease which I have suffered from for years now, I am 33 years old. I have been getting my teeth cleaned every 3-4 months, I use a sonicare brush, I regularly floss, but my gums won’t stop bleeding. I am very concerned now as I hated the way my teeth looked so I started Invisalign in March this year. When I wear the aligners, I often can see blood through them, I told my dentist this but he told me this can happen with Invisalign. I don’t know what I can do to stop this problem. Its got so bad that I avoid going out unless I have to as my gums bleed so often. I am missing out on so many things due to this. Do you think I need root canal treatment? I have had ex-rays done by 3 different dentists and all of them have said my teeth are alright, and that I just need to keep my regular routine of cleaning my teeth. Please can you advise me of what treatment you would recommend. Thank you

i play a brass instrument will i be able have the dental implant with causing damage?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Q.
Hello Andrew I lost one of my front teeth (gum disease) and have had a cantilever bridge from the other for about 10 years. This has now started to move and x-rays reveal further bone loss although my dentist says that I keep my mouth really clean ( hygienist every 3 months, expensive electric toothbrush, disclosing tablets etc). The gum around the tooth that the bridge is attached to keeps bleeding and this is causing me some embarassment as well as staining my pillow at night. I had a referral to a local NHS dental hospital (I have a private dental plan) who suggested adjusting the bridge at the back and getting a night guard made (?) as he thought I was grinding and pushing the tooth away. Think that this is not an option now as the tooth is dropping and I cannot bite at all with it. I am considering dental implants but concerned about how long they will last- as I have bone loss anyway. Where will the bone be added from? How will I look whilst the bone is being grafted? My dentist says that they will cost about £2500 each – is this because he thinks I will need the bone graft and so it will be more expensive. Don’t really want to extend my bridge and destroy another 2 (relatively)healthy teeth- he thinks that as well as 2 front teeth I will need to remove the ones next to them and bridge from my incisors. I also play a brass instrument- will I be able to after the implant without causing damage?

i have read that implants can only be fitted within 3 months of tooth extraction is this true?

Friday, May 8th, 2009
Q.
I am in my early thirties and have horrendous damage to my teeth through self abuse such as bulimia and i also had an accident when i was younger for which i was given high amounts of fluoride which when my adult teeth came through they were severly stained and very brittle. i have now had about 12 teeth removed in total and i wear a top denture plate for the missing ones but nothing on the bottom plate as i have never been advised or tried for one. i have always been very self conscious about my smile but now it is horrendous my plate does not fit well and it irritates me constantly even though i have had it for over a year now and i end up taking it out and not waering it when im home, although my husband is very good about this its not exactly very sexy especially for someone of my age. im now so desperate to sort my smile out but have no idea what my options are as my dentist is not very good. i thought about implants but the amount i would need would be extrememly costly and i have read that implants can only be fitted within 3 months of tooth extraction due to bone and gum shrinkiage is this true?? are there any other options that you think may be open to me??? i live in essex quite near chelmsford what would the cost be for me to have a consultation with yourself?? thanks so much for any help and advice you can give me

Would veneers be insufficient because of gum line areas of decay on the back of the teeth?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
I have 4 upper front teeth, candidates for crowns or veneers. I’d prefer to leave as much tooth structure as possible, leaning me toward veneers, but conditions primarily the location of the decay,may necessitate crowns.#8 is only slightly chipped, but between the 2 front teeth, 8 and 9,there is a cavity/filling right at the gum line and a slight gap between the teeth. Because of the location the filling keeps falling out and eventually the gap becomes evident from the front. There’s also a filling on #10 almost at the gum line. Would veneers be insufficient because of these gum line-areas of decay on the back of the teeth?

This is very hard for me to te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
