Hi there :)
Roughly ten years ago I had my first set of veneers fitted, was really happy with them and have had new sets fitted over the years, anyway, in that time I have had persistent Gingivitis in only the areas where the veneers are fitted.
Antibiotics take the infection away aswell as the bad taste and bleeding gums. Problem is that after the antibiotic has finished the bleeding gums and infection comes back.
It has never been a severe case of gingivitis, but it has been there for quite sometime. My main concern after reading around the net in the link between heart disease and gingivitis, it now scares me to think that there could have been 10 or more years of damage to my heart, is that the way it works? Or is it only in more severe cases of gingivitis.
I recently was told that I had high Cholesterol, and being 27 I thought this was strange, so I am starting to panic.
Any advice would be excellent
