You need to visit a periodontist nearby .start with scaling and root planing .gingival curettage if necessary. Any amount of treatment you do but if maintenance at home is poor then the expected results cannot be achieved.

Health Query

I was suffered from periodontal problem and that was cured by deep cleaning and grafting a month back. Now there is big gap between my teeth after the stitch removed from the gum line. I want to know that the gums will grow back to cover the gaps between the teeth. Or some another treatment required?

Hi Aravinth,
The receded gums will not grow after periodontal surgery.
if it is esthetically bothering you, you have to undergo a gingival uplifting procedure.
If it cannot be surgically corrected you can go for multiple crowns to cover the gaps.
kindly consult a periodontist in ur area he will help you.

Asked for Female, 23 years old from Ranchi

I'm currently under orthodontics treatment in my own college since last 5 months for slight overcrowding and twisted lateral incisors in mandibular arch. I noticed no effects of the treatment. Proximal stippling was done between premolars. I had no periodontal problems earlier. I maintain proper oral hygiene. Rectangular wire was placed 5 days ago. Today I noticed my gingiva to be edematous above the molar tubes in maxillary right quadrant. I do not wish to continue with the treatment since there are no visible effects on the tooth that was twisted. I had explained this to the concerned staff before rectangular wire was placed. They simply want to complete the case with or without prognosis and results. Is it necessary to complete the treatment? They are not willing to remove the braces without full payment. Is it possible for me to remove the braces in some other private clinic? I've noticed my teeth have become more sensitive since the treatment started. Please kindly.

Hi, your concern is valid. After proximal stripping, there are chances of sensitivity. As I do mot know your case history, I cannot comment if stripping was the only option for creating space between teeth. Stripping in between premolars is rather unheard of. Usually if required, that to with no other option, incisors are stripped. Initail 2-3 months is required for teeth to get used to the force. Tooth movement should be rather gradual or else it'll resorb the roots of your teeth. Bodily moveme...more

I am 24 year old I I have bone loss in my lower gums as a result of being on long term steroids and possibly some periodontal problems. This has caused my 2 lower teeth to become loose.

For gum infection, go for professional scaling and polishing. If the condition is much worse you might require flap surgery on gums. If the mobility of the tooth is more, than its better to remove it n get the artificial implanted.

I am a 20 year old male. I am going through dental sensitivity, PERIODONTAL bone disease was found in X ray.

Dr. Dhaval Shah93%(471 ratings)

Most probably it may be due to deposits on teeth. I would advice you to go for regular cleaning of teeth as periodontal bone loss is easy and cheap to prevent as compared to curative treatment. You are young and need to take care of your teeth for them to serve you longer.

Here's why your symptoms are concerning:

Yes, it is generally safe to take medical treatment for a toothache after taking an i-pill on november 21st. The i-pill, also known as emergency contraceptive medication, does not interact with most medications, including those used for dental treatment.
However, it is always advisable to inform your dentist about any medication you are taking, including the i-pill. This allows them to make informed decisions about your treatment and ensure it is safe and effective.

Physical examination by nearby dentist may find the gravity of tooth pain and swelling due to tooth. If tooth is not causing, its probably by medication you took.

For severe toothache which is good meteorologist dt or enzoflam actually Dr. performed root canal 4 sitting already done now se is sick and asking me to take antibiotics till se gets well what to do? I am dying with pain took ultracet too but no effect so far.

No medicine is good for severe toothache. RCT and Crown is the solution. If it can't be done then removal only may provide relief from that severe pain. If you don't want any treatment to be done and toothache resolves then there are 100% chances that pain or swelling may disrupt your sleep one or many days. So go for the permanent treatment and not temporaries. It can also convert into something which you never want to even hear it. So that's my advice to you rest is your will. Hope this helps
