Q: Well for the longest time now my gums have been really really sore. They bleed all the time and I have holes in between my teeth. Is there any one who can let me know what it is and how I can treat it? Someone told me that it was gingivitis or somethin
A: Periodontal disease runs the gamut from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis with bone loss. Most people are not equipped to make a precise diagnosis by themselves. Certainly I cannot determine the full nature of what you have from your description. Without a diagnosis, an appropriate treatment cannot be prescribed.
What are you waiting for? Get thee to a dentist!:)

Q: Is there any way to reverse a receding gum line?
A: There are gum grafting procedures intended for this purpose. They are variable in their success, though. I would suggest a consultation with a periodontist (gum specialist) if you wish to investigate this further...

Q: I have an abscessed/impacted wisdom tooth on the right bottom. Can a lower tooth abscess make your top teeth hurt and cause cheek/eye pain and swelling?
A: Pain from an abscessed lower wisdom tooth can indeed radiate to the top teeth and cause swelling of the cheek, as well as other neighboring areas. It's less likely to cause swelling or pain of the eye unless the infection is very severe and is spreading (cellulitis). We sincerely hope this is not the case, since this is a serious complication and demands immediate attention. We would advise you to play it safe and to visit a dentist ASAP!
