How can I get on top of my gum disease?

August 3rd, 2011
Q.

Iam 22 and feel depressed about my teeth, I have extremely bad gum disease and gum recession caused by my diabetes and a stomach problem which has caused me to throw up after every meal for over the past year resulting in me now being on a liquid diet. I brush 3 times a day, floss and use mouthwash to try and get rid of my gum disease and eventually Iam going to loose my teeth at this rate if I cant get on top of my gum disease, please give me some advice

Is working long hours the cause of my sore mouth?

July 26th, 2011
Q.

Hi, Iam just wondering if I have gum disease because recently the roof of my mouth has been really sore and the skins coming off it. However i brush my teeth twice a day with a sonic toothbrush as my gums dont bleed so is this gum disease or could it be stress linked with starting a new job were Iam working around 70hours a week?? thanks for your time to read this

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.
