Q: I survived a brain aneurism, but afterwards my gums hurt badly. I was told that I had periodontal disease and needed my teeth pulled. This was done in 2010. I also have Bell’s palsy. I am in severe pain to this day and I have sharp pain running from my gums to a shunt in my head. I have white lesions and swelling on all of my gums. I cannot even bite into a peanut butter sandwich. When I eat anything my eyes tear up due to the pain!
A: Please see if you can find a Periodontist who will do a complete evaluation and use a quality set of digital x-rays to determine the prognosis of your teeth. It would be preferable if they have laser training using the FDA cleared protocol. The procedure is more patient friendly, with excellent results.
