Q.

Hi all of my gums are swollen and sensitive and every time I brush them they bleed heavily and this is causing me a great deal of discomfort and issues.

Why do I have gum disease?

July 22nd, 2011
Q.

Everytime I go to the dentist they say I have something wrong with my teeth. I took many steps.

1. I dont drink any fizzy juice or sweets packed with sugar.

2. I brush twice sometimes three times a day, in morning and after dinner but not straight after. using circular motions with the brush, angling it into my gum.

3. I use Listerine mouth wash stuff as well and occaisionally floss.

the only thing i realise iv done wrong is not flossing enough but surely what iv been doing to look after my teeth would not end up with filling after filling!

also how hard should you brush your teeth I never used to brush them too hard and i got loads of problems so i brush them a little more pressure yet still same problems!

also iv been told I could have gum disease as my gums are bleeding as well, I know gum disease is serious but I have not brought this on myself.

My diet is healthy, I don’t smoke or drink and I brush my teeth regularly.
