My gums have started to recede and it’s really embarrassing. Is there anything that can be done?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have got quite a big smile and I have always thought my teeth were my best feature. I must have been brushing too hard because the gum line has receded on the left side of my mouth. This is especially true for one tooth in the bottom left hand corner of my mouth which is giving me a lot of pain. The gum around my left top front tooth has receded a little and food keeps getting trapped between the tooth and the gum line. This is really embarrassing and is stopping me from going out with friends or eating in front of anyone without having to run to the toilet between every course. I am 25 and I don’t want to have to keep worrying about this. Is there anything that can be done? I don’t have a dentist at the moment as I have a bad experience a few years ago and I’m nervous of going back. Any help would be great.,

What can be done to fix receding gums?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel, The gum line on one of my front teeth is higher than the other.Plus the tooth is misshaped to begin with. It’s like someone stuck their finger behind the tooth and slightly pushed outward causing it to be more hollow in the back, thus making the tooth stick out alittle further in front than the other front tooth and also appears rounder.Whereas the good front tooth is thicker in the back and flat in front. Yrs. ago I had surgery on the good front tooth’s gum to try to make it the same height as the recessed one, but being healthy gum it regrew the tissue that the dentist had cut away.Is there a permanent solution to this problem? Most of my teeth in the back are caps and I’m in need of some root canals I know. But the only good teeth I have are the top front ones. But I’d like THOSE to be picture perfect or all to be exact!I don’t care to sacrifice whatever is needed.Is it possible to file down the protruding front tooth even tho it’s thinner in the back and either cap or bond them all? Money is no object. My front bottom teeth gums are also starting to recede.I’m a young looking 55 but am getting long in the tooth I guess.Need suggestions!!Is there any dentist in America that you’d endorse?I really need your professional opinion!! I have a lot of work that needs done. Starting with root canals and gum restoration I’m sure. I do floss evey nite but don’t water pick.Thanks for your patience!,

Why have gums receeded after veneers?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Hello, Back in May I had a veneer fitted to one of my front teeth. Prior to having the veneer fitted I was advised that lasering the gum line above the tooth would make it more symmetrical – therefore I went ahead with this too. Since this treatment my gum appears to be receding and therefore the edge of the veneer is now visible. Why has this happened? and is there anything that can be done to reverse this, or to at least stop further recession of the gum? Or will I need a new veneer? Many thanks,
A.

Confused as I cannot find a reason for my smelly and rotting teeth.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I had a veneer on my lateral incisor around 4 years ago. Last year I noticed that the tooth was discoloured around the gum line and had a bad smell/taste and feeling of pressure – never pain. After several courses of antibotics my Dentist performed root treatment, twice as it was unsuccessful the first time. My tooth still smells and tastes bad and my dentist is baffled – any ideas? I think perhaps there is a gap between the veneer and my tooth and that the front shell of my tooth is rotting, could that be the case – is there anything can be done? Thanks

Due to grinding I have gum receeding and loosing my smile.

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, For as long as I can remember I have suffered from bruxism. I sleep with a nightguard which my NHS dentist made for me but my gums seem to be receeding as a result of the grinding, which I think has now led to gum disease, and my upper anterior teeth are becoming very thin and I’m terrified of them snapping off altogether. I’m only 27 and hate my smile. My teeth seem to be wearing down and decaying very quickly and I’m terrified of having to wear a denture. Do you think crowns and possibly gum grafts may help me? I really don’t want to lose my teeth and my NHS dentist doesn’t seem to care.
