Q.
Hi Andrew, I have severe receding gums on the inner part (tongue side) of the front of my mouth causing looseness to 2 of my front bottom teeth thanks to periodontitis. I’m petrified of the dentist (thanks to a bad experience with braces in my teens) and have noticed this only over the past few days how severe this is-I can’t eat, teeth too sensitive. My confidence is being affected by this. What can I do if my teeth fall out? I’m really scared. Help!!,

Will I be able to get braces and implants to fix smile?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Kailesh Solanki, I had crooked teeth as a child and at 15 I was told that I would have dentures at 18 years of age. This completly put me of dentists until about 4 years ago when I went to Hungary where they took out 2 of my front teeth and I also got crowns and a bridge to straighten my front teeth. At first I was delighted with the results, however I now look really cross when I close my mouth and the gums are receding on my two front teeth.Is it possible to get braces to straighten my teeth properly and then to put in implants where the two teeth were pulled. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanks.,

Is gingigel suitable with veneers to treat receding gums?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, I have sensitive teeth so I would like to use a de-sensitizing mouthwash, but I have two veneers and have heard that alcohol weakens the bonding cement. I am unable to find a de-sensitizing mouthwash without alcohol. Is it true that mouthwashes containing alcohol are not suitable for venners? Also, I have heard of a product called Gengigel which helps receding gums. Is this suitable for veneered teeth? Thank you.,
A.
Genigel would be fine.  I… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

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.

Wear, tooth decay and receedin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
