Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

The gums of my two lower front teeth are almost damaged. The teeth at the back are fine. Are there any lifelong ways to save my teeth? Is any surgery or treatment required? Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

With passion, commitment, and experience, I hope I will be able to provide you with a top-class medical opinion.

I request you to elaborate more on your problem. Kindly describe it at length in your own words. I would be able to advise you better once I have more information. I would also like you to describe what you mean by ‘damaged’.

Having said that, I will share some information that I assume could be of relevance to your condition. Gum problems are one of the most common dental problems faced by patients and the front teeth are mostly affected. Usually, patients have deposits on their teeth that cannot be removed by brushing alone. These deposits build up over time as a result of improper brushing. These deposits become a place where bacteria grow and cause damage to both the gums and the bones underneath the gums.

The gums in such conditions can bleed on brushing. They may appear reddish and swollen. The teeth can also get loose if the bone is damaged. An important point to note is that hormonal changes in women can also worsen such conditions. There are a few other causes for gum problems but I have mentioned the most common ones. If you have experienced any of the above problems that I have described, you should see a dentist for examination and further treatment. The treatment will focus on removing the cause of your problems and preventing further damage. If there are deposits on your teeth, they will be removed by the dentist.

I would love to advise more precisely if you share more information. At this point, it would be a good decision to see a dentist and get a proper examination, counseling, and treatment.

I hope you had a pleasant experience at icliniq.

Thank you.
