My tooth have cracks and I have gum recession. Any advice would be appreciated?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Dr Solanki, Im very worried about my teeth as i have a few issues. They are all cracked and erroading away. they feel wobbily, and i haave a bad night grinding problem. i visited a few dentists, who just seemed to want to make money off me, rather than actually addressing the problems. ive lost 5mm on both sets of teeth. I have visible cracks that are getting worse. My gums are also bad due to receeding. My last dentist jsut said that they wernt as bad as i thought , cleaned them and that was it. every so oftern i get shards of tooth break away inn my mouth, and as mentioned earlier, they are geting more and more wobbily and ground down. My dentist told me that capping could be a possible opton, but not without embracing a whole load of other issues too. im not getting very far with reegards to diagnosing issues and possible treatment. any advice would be very much appreciated. thank and regards,

I would like to have veneers but fear they will break (I am a professional fighter) when in the ring. Is there a particularly strong veneer, and can you give me advice about receding gums?

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi im interested in getting veneers maybee 4-6 accross my top and 4 accross the bottom but im a proffesional fighter and worried that they might not be as strong as my own teeth and come out regularly whilst sparring and fighting. Just want your opinion and is there any particular type of veneers which are stronger than others and would be more suited to me? One more thing is there anything that can be done about reciding gums, or any advice you can give me to help against this? Thanks you very much.,

What are the options for me in regards to preventing further gum recession?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I have gum recession on the top and bottom teeth – started mostly at the front but gradually seems to be pulling at the back teeth. My dentist says that it is likely to be caused by harsh brushing- x rays have shown no damage structurally no i assume this means it’s not peridontal disease. I gave up smoking about 12 months ago and have switched to a soft bristled brush to try and prevent this harsh brushing. I am really conscious of the appearance of the receeded gum and want to be able to a – prevent further recession and b – also find out what options are available to try and hide the existing recession. I live in Manchester so if you could suggest any options for me i would be eternally grateful,,

Is there a possibility of strengthening the gums and bone so I can have dental implants?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi I am 23 years old and my lower gums have receeded badly. I have 1 tooth already removed and another due to be removed soon. My dentist has offered me a denture and says in ten years I may loose all the bottom teeth/they will become very loose. The bone is also affected and I am wondering if you could help me with any suggestions or treatment you can perform to have dental implants eg is there a possibility of strengthening the gums and bone so I can have dental implants?,

Can you advise me about my bleeding gums, as I have tried everything?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi, Please can you advise me on my options as I suffer from bleeding gums and I have tried everything from seeing the hygienist regularly, daily flossing, using a waterpik and most herbal products on the market including Oram d but nothing has stopped the bleeding. I have had exrays by 3 different dentist and they say I just need to keep up what I am doing but the bleeding won’t stop. Do you think I should consider gum surgery as my gums are not pink, in some places they are more of a purple colour. I am desperate to sort this problem out. Please can you advise me on my options. Do you think I should see a periodontist? I cannot find any in my area! Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
