Hi! I have habit of severe bruxism which aggravated when my brother passed away 4 months ago
I got a night guard made some time ago but unable to motivate myself to use it
I used for 3 days- every morning i would wake up with tightness n pressure in jaw so i stopped
The guard fits nicely n doesnt feel uncomfortable though
I have a deep bite as per my dentist n thats why it will take time for jaw to align
Hi doctor, I recently got a night guard made using an old dental cast that had some visible dust/stains. Actually I had kept it open n it was lying here n there unchecked
My dentist saw the pics of guard n said its okay to use- I expected them to clean it n then use but shockingly the cast has same stains like before
Now the guard fits perfectly and I have cleaned it thoroughly multiple times with soap and water but still i am unhappy with the fact that cast was kept dirty- they charged me same amount so i wish i had given fresh impression
Please help me get peace of mind since i am not able to make mind to wear it
I have periodontal disease and generalized bone loss.
I went to a dentist recently due to swelling in gums and he said we'd have to remove the molar because he can't save it so we allowed the extraction. Now I think I should have at least confirmed that this is the only way to go about it from other specialists.
He mentioned grade 2 mobility in that molar and few other teeth.
He said that I have my wisdom teeth pushing into neighbouring teeth and due to my condition I'd lose all my teeth soon and all I can do is wait for it to happen.
I have been prescribed rexidine-m forte gel+ sensoform gum paint to prevent any further loss.
I had tartar buildup and I was recommended deep cleaning. But after that my gums have been very sensitive.
I'm quite frustrated about this condition. Is there a way I can save my teeth?
I'm attaching my x-ray from a month ago for reference.
Yellowish-brown patches and spots on the front teeth (especially upper teeth) and a bit of buildup near the gum line
Having this red spot in cheek for a month . If fades sometimes and brighter in Morning . No pain or burning
