Hi all,
After suffering panic attacks and not being able to bring myself to go to a dentist for years, I had red swollen gums due to a huge amount of tartar build up. After a divorce I met someone new and wanted to get rid of the tartar and the red gums and have fresh breath and a healthy smile again. So I went to the dentist and she scared me into visiting the hygienist. After 3 sessions of deep cleaning and regular cleanings for a few months I had pink healthy gums. However along the top of my gumline I have had some bone loss and so my gums have shrunk a bit. I have some black triangles - gaps where my gums used to be. I was wondering if there is any procedure that could fix this? And could it be done on the NHS? It does make me a bit self concious and I think it makes me look a bit older.
Thanks and best regards,
