The Gum Underneath My Implant is Swollen. Why Might This Be?

May 23rd, 2015
Q.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am a 46 year old female in good health. I had 2 upper implants fitted 6 years ago, and although they’ve been great up to now, the gum underneath one of them is swollen and quite painful. I’m able to eat things without much discomfort and the gum doesn’t appear to be bleeding but I would like to know what’s wrong. I’d really appreciate any advice you may have. Thank you Dr McGovern.

I Cut My Gum A Year Ago But Now It’s Very Sore. How Can I Get Financial Help To Fix This?

October 16th, 2014
Q.

After cutting my lower gum on a French stick a year ago it overgrew as it healed. It’s very sore when biting into any toast. My dentist said I just have to put up with it but it is impossible to brush near it and it has worsened now. Would a gingivectomy help? Can I get periodontist help through the NHS? It is making me miserable when I eat. I never had any fillings or gum trouble before and I have seen my dentist for two 6 monthly check ups and both times he’s said there is nothing he can do. Without my dentist’s help, how would I get an NHS referral? I imagine privately will be very expensive.
