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?
hello im 16 years old i go for a checkup at the dentist like every year all my teeth or nice and white just theres one tooth at the side that is diffrent from the other side its gone small i just want to make it look normal again but i dont know how to? :/
I had a front tooth root filling in early Nov. Had been chipped & badly cracked umpteen years ago but earlier this year became tender to pressure. Was/got infected. 5 lots of antibiotics, 1 temp crown [the tooth cracked further], umpteen appts for ‘cleaning’ inside & more pain than I thought I could stand. Then endodontic referral [early Dec], different internal medication, and it did improve slightly but still needed full pain relief [max paracetamol & max ibuprofen daily]. Was advised it might ‘settle down’ … hasn’t. Returned to endo in early Jan, refilled again, again did improved slightly but still very painful to any sort of touch & need regular pain relief and now seems to be getting worse again. Have been told it might be phantom nerve pain and not to have tooth out until seen by neurologist, which could take months on NHS. I think it far more likely infection is still lurking although medication keeps is from forming obvious absess or that root is actually cracked as well & I would get relief from extraction. Gums very sore in area too. What is your opinion please ?
I fell on my face cracked my upper right tooth nothing fell off there is a visible crack close to the gums and is very sensitive the other front tooth did chip like a corner of the tooth and i moved out of place a bit. I would like to know my options to get my teeth fixed. I’d prefer reversible procedures with minor drilling and pain. Thank you
Hello Dr Hughes,
I just have a question and need some advice. I have just been to a dentist as my gums have receeded pretty badly, the dentist told me i would need cosmetic surgery to build up the bone and gum again, can you advise me on any treatment to prevent it from getting any further and if there are any places where i could go to have it fixed but pay monthly instalments?

Hello Dr,
I have always been very proud of my teeth and had a very nice smile, but my gums are now receeding and my smile is no longer attractive, I am very depressed and it’s ruining my life, could you recomend any treatment for this problem. Thankyou.
Hi how long does the snap on smile last please. How many visits would I need.
