Clear, straight talking - what a delight

[@notthere83]

Wow, seeing these photos, I'm not surprised my dentist never even mentioned gum grafts for my gums. Given how I will sometimes be in pain because of much less exposed dentin, I shudder to think what people like that must go through...

[@kd2533]

Incredibly useful information. Thank you for this topic

[@romelmadrayart]

Its sad to know that teeth are a luxury even when you pay into the system. Such is the life. Maybe if I sell a kidney can afford this.

I think it’s really sad that the psychological damage that goes with dental problems, does to you as a person, and just how deeply it impacts every aspect of your life 😞

[@SavageKya]

Yeah 💯

[@30secondpickmeup]

@@djturner1992 be very very careful

[@adyv1360]

My reason is Orthodontic treatment. Dentist should set right expectation.

[@GlenMACWilliam]

I’m surprised the teeth were not cleaned and had tarter removed before gum surgery.

[@DrDremelchausen]

Could you please make a video on how to brush teeth correctly? Also if should or shouldn't rinse :)

[@JD-bw5je]

Do not rinse you want to keep the flouride on your teeth and they are expensive but invest in an oral b toothbrush with the app it shows you exactly how to brush how hard soft where your missing, i always thought i did and ok job till i got one, teepee brushes for inbetween the teeth seems very important too because its the gaps that bacteria is building in and thats where we miss when brushing with a regualr toothbrush, ive always over done it expecially on the gumline so im alot softer now

[@heathererickson3844]

Last periodontist told me the dentist that put composites on my teeth made my recession even worse. This is frustrating and very expensive

[@HelderP1337]

Yes, sometimes composite or crowns can irritate the gum further.

[@beverlycass1840]

Thank you. Good information.

[@andyirons7162]

I tick all those boxes you mention as reasons for gum recession ----> history of gum disease (that led to bone loss), orthodontics in my late 40s (big mistake), thin biotype / gums ....aggressive brushing technique as well...I have Millers class 2-3-4 recession pretty much all over.....everything you explain here I've heard from multiple periodontists. Although my gums are very healthy, once the damage is done to your gums, its done. Here's what I've experienced (for sake of sharing) ---> Alloderm treatment on my lower gums was a total failure (it didn't take and actually made the recession worse). I then had a Free Gingival Graft (FGG) on my lower 4 teeth (another Perio) which was successful in terms of expectations set by the Periodontist, i.e. "I can thicken up the gums, but recession coverage is not guaranteed".....I'm thinking of following this area with a Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) as I've seen/read about the success of a two-staged approach with patients with bad recession. I've also had a CTG on my lower teeth to the side.....this procedure was by far the best at getting recession coverage (i.e. gum tissue height). I've said I've seen MANY perios (6+) over the last 3-4 years and it's an interesting speciality, to say the least.....in my experience, its difficult to find an experienced Perio in the field of gum grafting (at least in QLD < Australia)......a lot are conservative and a lot lack the true technical and clinical skill to treat complex gum recession cases.....as such, their consultation isn't necessarily based on what's technically possible or what's in your best interests as a patient, but moreso influenced by their lack of skills and experience (which they'll never tell you). In fact, I've consulted with a general dentist with far more gum surgery and grafting experience than most of the Periodontist I've seen. Anyway, don't give up guys - keep researching and searching until you find someone who will help.

[@anonymousf454]

That part about so called "professionals" giving advise based on there own abilities, even worse, lack of abilities is absolutley disgusting. Ego driven, and unfortunately seems to be universal in this profession. Yes I realize everyone's situation is different, but if you are inexperienced with a procedure that will affect a person for the rest of there lives, it is your duty to disclose that, whether they ask or not. It's a shame I have to basically interigat my dentist to try and see if I believe that they 1) are even telling me the truth about my dental issues, 2) if they can or have ever done that procedure, and 3) if there are any better procedures available to me outside of there office somewhere in the worls. There needs to be greater consequences for this malpractice. Finding a good honesty dentist is worth his or her weight in gold, and we absolutely appreciate there skill and honor.

[@sundyinnocent7334]

How did orthodontics make it worse?

[@l.e.6263]

In USA, all dentists make one sign a waiver so one cannot post negative review or sue them. Sadly, Lawsuit cost a lot more than procedure in USA.

[@MariaFernandes-wm4mn]

Thank you Dr for your useful information

[@lydiamurugi6812]

I am confused on how to treat 1. Exterior open bite caused by exercise thumb sucking 2. gum growing in between teeth made sensitive by excessive pressure brushing teeth in some parts of the jaw 3. teeth traveling due to space created by removal of all wisdom teeth. Please point me in the right direction

[@ms_tee6775]

Thank you so much for your videos very helpful information. If you have gum lost and do nothing will it get worse or will your tooth fell off?

[@JD-bw5je]

Your videos are so good i feel like I’ve got so much info. I am 37 woman with stage 4 Perio my gums are receding my bone is going and I look after my teeth so well now! I’m getting regular cleans I have the hole triangles now no one wants to do composite on me because my gum disease I’m going to loose all my teeth and it’s hurting me not physically but mentally £30,000 for all on 4 in the uk. I’m so scared I just wish there was more education because if I knew earlier I could have helped myself so much more now there is no going back for me. B12 deficiency teeth grinding ex smoker over brushed (thinking I was doing good) and my teeth look fine if you looked at me but if you saw my X-rays you can see pockets 4-5 Mm in about 5 teeth

[@xafuusinayaroow8686]

Sorry to heard that sis Me i have gum diseases Iam so stress😭

[@juscause3087]

How is it going? I'm 36 and have gum disease. I wish I had known sooner so I could have prevented it. My biggest fear is losing all of my teeth at a young age.

[@JD-bw5je]

It is the stuff nightmares are made of, i have messaged to have a consultation with dr gurs but i went to see someone else today for a dental plant consultation. Im at my nhs hygienist dentist every 3 months for cleans im finding the more times i go the more gum im loosing each time. My new problem is tooth mobility i had some gaps so got a private dentist to put a bit of composite to close the gaps they would not do them to the gum line so i had triangles at the top still so i could clean them still. So im using teepee brushes all sizes and i have a water floss im going to buy a oral b electic toothbrush too im brushing properly 3 times a day, it has not improved my condition. This is going on so much but girls get to a private dentist pay and get the consultation because today i was told if i keep on top of my cleaning i can save my bottom teeth and my upper back teeth kn both sides, i am going to have to get my front 4 teeth removed i have 70% boneloss in this area and around 50% everywhere else im heart-broken i have cried for days so i can not have implants right now i need to have teeth removal then a part denture and then i think a bone graft before i can even get to implants. Im still going to get a consultation with dr gurs if i can and see if i have anh more options but who has all that money lying around and people say go abroad but when you have the problems i do its not as simple as that id go there and end up sent back home with no teeth 😅 goodluck to you both x

[@eriomnyc6073]

I have 7-9 mm pockets - you’ll be ok. Have you seen Dr Ellie Phillips videos ? Watch them. I am getting my first bone and gum graft soon to save a tooth, but using her system to help rest of mouth back too. XO

[@JD-bw5je]

I actually had an app with the dentist on this video and it was huge it was a bit of a drive 4-5 hours but ive come away with a diff outcome. I only need 1 front tooth removed and he will be placing an implant too which is amazing because i was told thus was not possible by another dentist and apart from that its just composite bonding for the other 3 front teeth so it looks better, iv had another deep clean today at my regular dentist too, i will let you know how i get on, but will you let me know how you get on with the new system your trying please

[@chadkline4268]

I don't think enough work is being done with stem cells concerning this issue. Or growth hormones. There ought to be some chemistry that stimulates gum growth, and I am sick+tired of this issue being avoided. Alligators can grow as many sets of teeth as they need. And humans ought to be able to do the same. Who is on top of the stem cell game?

[@enjoythemoment8638]

Omg , I have been thinking about the same question ever since I got flap surgery. I asked doctor what's the future of stem cell therapy on gum tissue? India's top dental hospital doctors have no clue whatsoever about stem cell solution for gum related disease or bone growth.

[@juliebryant6718]

Yes its important to avoid brushing your teeth too hard

This video is very helpful..Can u plz also advise what type of veneer is better for these teeth. Do u think 7d emax is advisable or 3d veneer is good enough?

The most investigated MSCs for periodontal regeneration are bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which have shown very promising results in animal models. Few studies on humans are available but BMMSCs, PDLSCs, and DPSCs have been proven safe and effective. ???

[@chadkline4268]

Abstract In this review, the authors consider the substantial advances that have been made in recent years in stem cell-based periodontal regeneration. These advances involve identifying dental- and nondental-derived stem cells with the capacity to modulate periodontal regeneration, human clinical trials, and emerging concepts, including cell banking, good manufacturing processes, and overall clinical translation. ???

[@airbornestud3007]

Hi doc. Love your content. I was wondering what your opinion is on the 3 on 6 implants without the fake gums. Is it a better option than all on 4 or all on 6? It looks to me as if it would be easier to keep clean. I saw a video on a person that had their all on 4 removed & there was a lot of nasty green stuff on his gums that built up over time between the fake gums & real gums. To me, it does seem like the 3 on 6 would be a better choice as far as keeping the gums clean, but I would like to hear your take on it. Ye or ne?

Hi doc, I have a problem with my teeth. My right bottom and top end molar filling has been chipped off recently. The first dentist fixed them by cleaning the cavity and replace the filling. After that day, my top right molar is causing me discomfort on biting food. I went to the second dentist to seek second opinion on xmas eve. He spotted minor cracks on the top of the 2 molar. He mention that he is unable to determine the problematic teeth. He request the next appointment to be placed in 2 months time. After that day, I start to have issues on my bottom right molar as well. It is experiencing sharp sensitivity when I first drink water. Subsequently, it went away. I don't have a clue on what's causing my top and bottom molar to have problems at the same time. And I wonder what sort of solutions is available for me. Any help will be much appreciated.
