Q. I fear that my teeth are going to fall out due to receding gums. Please help.
Hi doctor,
I have receding gums, and they are sore as well. Two of the teeth are wobbly, and I am terrified they are going to fall out. I am only 19 years old. I brush and floss my teeth twice a day. I used to smoke. Since I have noticed my teeth issue, I quit smoking. Please help me. I am desperate.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As per your complaint, it looks like you have deep gum infection and it is causing loss of attachment of teeth to gums making them loose.
- As you are a smoker, it causes the gum health to deter even faster.
- When there is a recession, only home remedies will not be sufficient, and you need to consult a periodontist and get evaluated.
- Deep scaling and curettage followed by antibiotics and antiseptic mouthwash gargle will help.
- Along with it, complete stoppage of smoking, gum paint massage, and warm saline gargle will help.
- If there is a progressive recession, then gum grafts can be advised.
Investigations to be done:
Panoramic x-ray.
Probable diagnosis:Periodontitis.
