Dental Abcess Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti

Question:
Ever since being about 15 years old I have always suffered with abscesses on my teeth.

As I am getting older (now 23) they are getting worse. I have had around 8 this year in 3 different places.

I would say I have good hygiene. I brush my teeth 2 - 3 times a day but they still keep reacurring. Is there anything else that could be keep causing them?

Or is there anything I can do to help prevent them from occurring so often? ...Visitor from United Kingdom

Answer:
So many abscesses makes me nervous about the level of dental care that you are receiving.

I have not been impressed with dental care in England and fear that you have problems that should be diagnosed long before you have so many huge problems.

I would suggest that you find a private care dentist in whom you trust and have a thorough examination and diagnosis that includes your periodontal condition.

Look for somebody who will take full mouth x-rays and do pocket readings on your gums. I would also suggest that you get on a 3 or 4 month schedule for cleanings so that the dentist is keeping a close eye on your condition.
