I have suffered from gum disease for years. What treatment would you recommend, as my dentists says I should keep my teeth?

June 13th, 2011
Q.
Hi, I have for about 10 years had a gum disease problem, I am told it\’s heredity. My gums are very sore and with regular cleaning by my dentist I find my teeth are getting more sensitive to cold and generally are quite sore to brush and floss. I hate the look of them and feel I should get a fixed restoration to put a final stop to the problems I am having. What would you recomend I do? where should I go to get the treatment I need?. My dentist tells me to hold on to the teeth, but I feel am fighting a loosing battle.,

June 5th, 2011
Q.
I have some recession (2/3mm) on one of my canine teeth. It doesn\’t notice when I smile but I am aware of it… How much would it cost to have a gum graft on this tooth? Or are there any alternatives? By the way the recession was due to gum disease which I have now had treatment for and my gums are much healthier. I\’m 27 years old.,

June 4th, 2011
Q.
I have been advised to have teeth extracted after a gum infection but am distressed at the thought of being left with huge gaps between teeth. My question is if I agree to have teeth removed while I save up for implants are implants able to be used once my gums have healed and closed up? It may take me years to save up; will implants still be possible?,

You can always have dental imp… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Am I a candidate for a bone graft?

May 12th, 2011
Q.
I am 39 with advanced gum disease i have complete dental bone loss at the far bottom end of my mouth, currently i still have the healthy tooth being held in by only gum. Could i be a candidate for a bone graft and if so would it be possible to save the tooth? My mother was pragmatic about dental hygeine and never smoked and still had to get all her teeth removed at age 41. I am hoping with advanced treatments my fate will not be the same. Many thanks for your time.,
