Patient Question: Disease: Gum recession, but teeth are not aligned, should I get orthodontic treatment? Description: Gum recession, gaps and looseness in the upper incisors, the incisors as a whole are rather violent, but only one of them is out of alignment with the other teeth and very loose. Hope to provide help: pull out the protruding tooth, want to correct the gap can it? Reply: My basic principle is to try to save your teeth and not to extract them easily. The photo does not reflect the shape and condition of the periodontal tissues of the teeth, so I cannot propose a specific plan for the time being, but only suggest not to extract the teeth easily. Patient’s question: Is the gum recession very serious, and what other treatment should I receive besides normal scaling and cleaning? Reply: Thank you very much for your gift! The photo shows the resorption of the alveolar bone and the decrease in height, which is the reason for the gum recession. The upper front is more serious and cannot fix the teeth, which also causes the front teeth to loosen. Scaling alone can no longer control it and periodontal treatment should be done! Patient Question: What periodontal treatment should be done, other than deep scaling? Yuhua Wang replied: This is a common technique for treating periodontal disease, as well as flap surgery. The goal is to control and preserve the tooth as much as possible.
