Tuesday, March 12th, 2013
Q.

im 24 and I have gum disease. My front teeth are really frustrating me, my teeth were perfectly fine and all of a sudden my gums became swollen and started to disappear. I find it really embarrassing. I used to have great teeth, white, all straight always smiling and now I hate to smile.
I am constantly sucking on my teeth and gums. I have always looked after my teeth, brushing, flossing, Listerine. And now im stuck. I would really like to have veneers done but I don’t know if we can have them done with gum disease.

Am I at risk of decalcification from lack of oral hygiene and wearing damon braces?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi

I am 30 and 10 months ago I started orthodontic treatment with damon brackets. At first I was diligent with cleaning but as the novelty wore off the cleaning became gradually worse.

I am now worried about decalcification. Although I do have them professionally cleaned about every three months.

I explained my concern to my dentist who said they looked clean and I wouldn’t know if I have any white spots until my braces are removed in about a year.

I haven’t mentioned it to my Ortho.

I thought that the white marks appeared around the brackets and so I should be able to see if I have them. On inspection in good light I can’t see anything.

My question is if I can’t see any marks now does that mean I can still prevent decalcification? or do I have to wait (a year) and see.

Thank you for your time
