Ortho Nightmare
by Viv29, Feb 29, 2008 11:33PM
I am 29, and have almost completed my conventional orthodontics. Recently the connective tissue between the teeth and gums on my upper teeth have become really "loose". I just thought it was from the movement of the teeth. Needless to say I now have an abcess on my gums. I have done all the proper hygeine, I have never even had a cavity. I am really concerned, due to all that I have read about abcesses. I do not want to loose my teeth. My dentist has started my antibotics, I want another opinion on this, could it be from the movement of the teeth from the ortho? What do I do? And will the tissue ever connect back to the teeth?
