my poor 14 yr old son in his quesst to get straight teeth has to have lots of his gums cut way at the hospital this afternoon.
some of his teeth are literally covered in gum and since he ws about 10 weve been on at dentists and doctors because you could see he had lumpy gums...we were with an ortho for more than 2 years she refused to treat him in the end without even recognising his teeth were under his gums because she said his gums were swollen and bleeding (they were swollen cos teeth were under them and bleeding cos if you stick a probe into healthy gum as she did it will bleed- so he was get a score of 9-10 off the hygeinist and she was still saying no - finally she refused to help us cos the gums were lumpy and the second teeth werent here yet (at 14)they were but hidden with gum.
so finally i emailed the dental hospital pleading for help and this is the stage where we are at but now im scared and hes scared too so im trying to act not scared none of my children have had ops- anyone gonna sypathise with me? or tell me to sort my act out?
