  • How to treat swollen gums from dentures?

    Thank you for your question. There can be several reasons for gum swelling or pain when patient have dentures. If the dentures have been just delivered as a new treatment, there will be a period of the oral soft tissues adjustment to the foreign body of the denture. Patience, perseverance and trips to the dental office for removing the uncomfortable spots on the denture's body are necessary. Allergy to the material of the denture is possible and can cause swelling. Your dentist should properly diagnose the reason of the swelling and treat it accordingly. Make sure you clean the denture and your mouth after each meal. READ MORE

  • What is the best treatment for swollen gums?

    Swollen gums are never only dental problem. The proper diagnosis and treatments involving the whole body, including periodontal oral interventions are necessary. In my practice holistic approach is applied for diagnosis and treatment of any dental condition because the body operates as one system. All the organs, systems , cells , mind and spirit are interconnected and work together as a whole. READ MORE

  • Can gum abscesses go away?

    Thank you for your question. Gum abscess is a sign of a serious oral inflammation. It can be caused mainly by failing root canal treatment or periodontal disease. In both cases an immediate intervention and a proper treatment are needed. Yes, in some cases an abscess can go away for a period of time but will come back. It is compromising overall health since even if the abscess goes away, the chronic inflammation stays in your body and can cause long term serious complications from heart attack , to kidney problems, to arthritis and Alzheimer disease . Antibiotics are temporary relief and you need to see a dentist for a professional treatment. READ MORE

  • What level of gum recession needs treatment?

    Thank you for your question. A specialist periodontist needs to diagnose the reason for the recession. For an example: presence of periodontal disease and bone loss, mucogingival problems and lack of attached gingiva, high attachment of the lip, destructive occlusal forces, teeth grinding, gastric reflux etc. The sooner the treatment the better the results. In my office proper nutrition and supplementation, as well as strengthening the immune system and lifestyle changes are offered. in addition to the dental treatments. READ MORE

  • Can pinhole gum surgery fix gum recession around the crown?

    Thank you for your question. It all depends if it is a true recession, or root defect and if you gums are healthy or you have periodontal disease with bone loss.

If there is a root defect, pinhole surgery and restorative procedures might be needed only if there is not an active periodontal disease or a significant bone loss. READ MORE
