I am 69 years old and have quite severe gum disease. I brush my teeth twice daily and floss before going to bed every night. I go to the dentist every six months but can’t prevent plaque building up. It’s getting to the point where my lower teeth will have to be removed. Can I do anything to save them at this stage?
i have always had sensitive gums and my grandmother had gingivtus at a young age which resulted in have all her teeth out, is there anything i can do to stop myself getting this as i fear i already have, my gums have always bleed for as long as i can remember and i have tried mouthwashes and everything, however i have found a thin grey line on one of my canine teeth on my lower set at the very base just going under the gum, what is my next step?
Good Morning
I have develop periodontitis and I have a couple of lose teeth. I have been looking into LANAP laser surgery however I am unable to find anyone in the UK who can do this or how much it will cost? If you could give me some help it would be appreciated.

Hi Andrew, I had my teeth bonded with a piece of wire behind the front four teeth upper and lower. It broke I saw an ortho and they wouldnt put it back on. They gave me a retainer and said I have perio and need it fixed the perio said he could work around the bonding. Has the ortho done the wrong thing.?.the perio wont seem to clear …it starts to then when I put the retainer in it comes back.Rock and hard place. Thanks
Hi,
I have receding gums (I am 35) and on some of the front teeth the enamel is wearing away. I am concerned about getting cavities if this continues (as I have cavities on 3 wisdom teeth already). Is there anything I can do to prevent the gums receding but also protect the enamel i.e. can you have a small filling put over the place where the enamel has worn away?
Many thanks for your advice
I have had periodontal disease for about five years,but for the last two years i have had alot of pain.I have asked my dentist if there is anything can be done about the pain but he says just keeping them as clean as possible will help,i go to the dentist every three months but still nothing helps.I also asked about gum graphs but he didn’t seem to know much about them,would gum graps help with the pain?
i am only 17 turning 18 and my gums bleed regularly on brushing, i started to use corsodyl mouthwash but it hasnt helped, my gums have bleed regularly for some time and now the gums are receeding. would it be a case of sugery and would it work?
