Gums (24)

I have had two extractions on May 29th at the front and have since developed tinnitus ten days later. Then four more extractions in august. Pain in gums and head and tinnitus much worse,

A couple of years ago, I finally got around to visiting an NHS dentist, after not going regularly for several years. I'd had extensive crown work some 20 years previously on the NHS back in the early 90's. (My dentist was at pains to point out that I'd had over £60,000 worth of work done at then current private prices, just to make me feel 'small' about it...) Over the years, most of the crowns had one by one come away or brok...

I have suffered from gum disease for a number of years and it has gone untreated. My dentist has referred me to a specialist periodontist in a hospital and as waiting on my appointment I have noticed the problem has got worse. I'm wondering what my best option would be, could I have all my teeth removed and dentures fitted or could i have a gingival mask fitted as the condition of smile now has deteriorated so much that I'm em...

I have recently had my wisdom teeth removed. This went well however when I went in for my followup, the xray showed a little sliver of metal in one of my sockets. My surgeon said this is nothing to worry about and that my gums will grow over it. He mentioned that it could have come from the device to remove saliva or perhaps a chip of filling. Is this something to be concerned about or will this just become part of my body.

Hi. I have just yesterday had 2 teeth removed from the top. The eye tooth from each side. I now have a full top denture. When the dentist tried the plate it fitted ok, but when I came home and tried myself, the new dentures wont fit because of a swelling on the gums where the extracted teeth used to be. I'm wondering if it's an abscess? It is quite sore when I touch it.

Hi, I've just had a front crown removed including the root as the root was fractured. I also have a dental plate with the two side teeth on, so the dentist added a front tooth on to my exsisting plate.\r\nMy question is, is it best to keep the plate in at night time, as I\'ve noticed the gum is starting to settle away from the new front tooth, which is now exposing more of the tooth and is concerned this will get worse?\r\nI h...

visited my dentist today after a filing fell out, He mended the filing but told me he was referring me to the hospital as i had lines on my gums which was not normal. he told me not to worry, obviously i am worrying, any idea why he felt the need to refer to hosptial and what could this be ??

My gums have started to recede, how can I reverse this?! I've been Using parodontax everytime I brush which is at least 3times a day, I got my teeth scaled & cleaned about a month & half ago & my dentist told me I have good oral hygiene. After every smoke I have a rinse my mouth with water, sometimes Salt water or mouth wash & sometimes brush my teeth. Is there something I can do for them? Please look at picture !

3 years ago my filling fell out, I have had no cash and it did not hurt so i left it. Yesterday the tooth itself fell out. I think its just rotted away. However, there is no root showing? its seems like gum over the root ? when i touch it then smell my finger it stinks. am I ok leaving this ? Im brushing with anti bacterial toothpaste and using a mouth wash.
