My husbands is losing his teeth what can be done to save them?

Friday, September 11th, 2009
Q.
My husband’s teeth are falling out, he has gum disease and regularly visits the dentist who more or less says that nothing can be done. His previous dentist suggested a mouthwash, which has made no difference. He cleans his teeth three times a day, uses floss and also the little interdent brushes. The dentist has also said that he will not be able to wear dentures as his gums are disappearing also. The latest tooth to fall out is near the front and now one front tooth is loose too. Surely something can be done to save his remaining teeth, could he ask for a referral to a hospital specialist? What can be done if he is unable to wear dentures? We desperately need some advice.

It does sound like it might be… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
Hi There, I’m 24, and I have receding gums on my bottom two front teeth. They have been like this since I was in primary school.

Anyway, I’ve noticed online a thing called gum grafting, but I’ve not really found much objective advice, mainly just adverts.

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
I just came back from a check-up at my dentist and I have been told that I have periodontal disease. I wanted to know from you what is about the range in price that it would cost for treament? I do have insurance, but I am trying to figure out if this office is overcharging for the treatment. I will have the treatment done but it might not be by that office. Second question I had is that my dentist wants to put 4 crowns across my front teeth and I wanted to know which kind of crowns is good not the ones that are most expensive on me? For example they gave me a price of $4,480.00 for all four crowns and I would like to know if this is a crazy price or a normal one?
