Okay so I've had my braces for about 2 and a half weeks and today I noticed that when I smile about half of my gums on the top show and it looks really weird. It looks like my gums got really low. Is that normal with braces or is something screwed up?
Braces changing gums?
I asked my dentist about that. He said that it means I have to brush harder and floss more often, or that my gums are just still irritated.
But it turned out that I had some weird gum thing and I need to get part of them lasered away. But you probably don't have that, just follow the above advice...

Lower left gums hurt!!?
my gums are hurting on the lower left side, a while ago, it didn't have this pain, but since i've been really caring about my teeth and brushing it after every meal, it started to hurt, idk if its a toothache or my gums hurting, help!!
and i dont wanna go to the dentist, they might pull out a tooth or 2. so yeah %26gt;.%26lt;
how do i make the pain stop?!
Lower left gums hurt!!?
grow up! see a dentist
Reply:Do you have your wisdom teeth yet? Could be them coming through.....orajel helps with pain in the gums.
Reply:You say that you started brushing after every meal, which is quite often. I say your gums and teeth are just sore because they're not used to all this contact and scrubbing. Either cut back a little, or continue like this a couple more days and your teeth will eventually get used to the extra exposure.
But if you're really concerned, discuss this with your dentist.
Reply:Use a soft bristle brush and with a pea-sized amount of flouride toothpaste, brush in a circular motion with the tips of the bristles (at a 45 degree angle from your gumline) brush each tooth, then the surface of your teeth that you chew on, then the back of your teeth in a circular motion.
You definitely want to be gentle and use a soft bristle brush with flouride toothpaste and a antiseptic mouthwash.
If the pain persists after a week or is accompanied by blood, you may want to consult a physician/dentist. You could also try motrin or tylenol or IBProfun(?) for the pain.
Reply:No other body pains aside from toothache may give you sleepless nights of painful miseries and difficult chewing. And can you help this thing to happen again and again without even knowing that there's a good cure for this irresistible pain? Don't leave this condition in the corner of your health.

Redness in Gums?
A friend of mine refuses to go to a dentist or doctor for this, so I'm asking if this is serious and he needs to see a professional.
His gums have been red lately, and sometimes swollen. It also bleeds when he brushes his teeth.
I think this may be gum disease but I really have no idea. He brushes everyday but he doesn't floss often or ever see his dentist.
Redness in Gums?
It's probably gum disease. If he really won't go to a dentist, he needs to start flossing everyday and using Listerine. I've found that Listerine will heal gingivitis in less than a week for me.
There is a possibility that it is a symptom of a disease, so if flossing and listerine don't do it, he needs to see his doctor. Gum disease can also be a sign of malnutrition.
Reply:Gum disease
Reply:she dying
Reply:she has Gum disease and yes should go to the dentist
it WILL HURT TO FIX THIS PSHH DONT TELL HER THAT
Reply:Yes it could be gengivitis...periodontal disease, a number of gum disease...he DEF. needs to see a dentist...periodontal disease could eventually cause him to lose all his teeth and even part of his gums if it goes untreated.
You should never play around when it comes to oral/dental hygiene....
Reply:Unless he has major pain and also pain is his teeth, i wouldn't worry.
When i was younger my gums hurt, then my teeth so i went and they removed gum, teeth and bone.
Yes it hurt, so until it comes to that...avoid the dentist...i don't blame your friend.
Reply:Yes, he has a gum disease. Ask him if he wants to wait until all his teeth fall out on their own or go have them pulled now and save the agony. :) In other words, he needs to go to the dentist right away.
Reply:I had this problem and the dentist did a scaling of my gums. I also brushed my teeth more, got a water pik and flossed everynight. There's also something great that I discovered called "Peroxyl" from Colgate. It cleans very well.
Reply:Yes just went thought this with my neighbor. It is gum disease or gingivitis. The teeth will rot and get infected and get the breath from heck if he does not already have this. Try and suggest a salt water rinse and see if that will slow it down. If drugs are involved he is screwed. Flossing will help but it sounds like it has gone to far to really help himself.

Help Itchy Gums?
My gums from time to time get itchy. I cannot brush my teath or my gums bleed and swell and itch like mad for days. I had my teath cleaned by the dentist and they itched forever. What could this be? right now its swollen and itchy and it hurt to chew like it is.
Help Itchy Gums?
Umm? How 'bout ~ change your dentist? How well does your dentist sterilize his/her dental equipment? See an orthodontist specialist, 'cuz it could be a serious underlying problem like gingivitis, and could get worse if pus develops in between the gums.
Meanwhile, you may want to floss lightly and maybe change your toothbrush (I recommend oral be soft), and gargle with a little Listerine.

Does anyones gums bleed real bad in the morning every morning?
my gums all of the sudden started to bleed when i brushed my teeth and now they hurt all day. is this gum disease or just now sensitive teeth. what should I do and is it serious?
Does anyones gums bleed real bad in the morning every morning?
You have gum disease. Get in to see your dentist, in the meantime, brush your teeth with baking soda and rinse EVERY time you brush (which should be at least 3 times a day) with peroxide!! Get hydrogen peroxide from the drugstore, pour about 1 inch in a cup and rinse your mouth with it. Keep rinsinfg until you have used it , then rinse with water. The peroxide will bubble, it's supposed to, it's bubbling the infection out of your mouth. You can use a diluted medicated mouthwash.
Reply:go to the dentist it sounds like you have gingivitis. try using colgate total the commercial claims that it can help with this problem.
Reply:You got Gingivitis. You need to go to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned, because it is the tartar build-up that is causing the bleeding.
Reply:YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DENTIST IT MIGHT MEAN THE BEGGINING OF GINGIVATIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.. THEY WILL STOP IT.
Reply:Actually it can be one of several things. Im Anemic (I dont have enough Iron in my blood) so my gums bleed allot. If you're lacking in Vitamin C it can also cause that. If you tooth brush is too stiff it can scratch the gums. Certain tooth paste can cause an allergic reaction too. Anything is possible.....Cheack with your health care provider.
Reply:try gargling,%26amp; rinsing with listerene mouthwash,i once had gum disease really bad,%26amp; started rinsing with it%26amp; it went away on it's on....listerene really doe's kill the germ's in your'e mouth.

My Greyhound has bleeding gums and wont let me brush her teeth. Suggestions?
I have a 3 year old female Greyhound. I recently noticed that her gums and gum line are red. I bought special Dog toothpaste and dog toothbrush, and she won't open her mouth for me when I try to brush them, most likely because when I do it hurts her gums because they bleed. Any suggestions as to how I can get my dogs teeth clean, without paying for a trip to the vet? The vet would probably just use drugs to put my dog to sleep for a short time, which are bad for Greyhounds. Also, how often should her teeth be cleaned?
Thanks.
My Greyhound has bleeding gums and wont let me brush her teeth. Suggestions?
Some anesthetics are bad for Greyhounds. You need to find a vet who knows what is safe to use...I think most vets know but it doesn't hurt to ask. They should use propoflo to induce and Isoflurane or Sevo to maintain. You have to watch for hyperthermia in them as well. My boss had a greyhound and another Tech has had 4, and we have many greyhound patients. They are notorious for having the worst teeth--probably has to do with what they're fed on the track--horrible diets! Your dog really does need to have it's teeth cleaned, then the vet can show you what to do afterward to keep them clean. You don't have to open your dogs mouth to brush--most of the tartar is on the buccal (cheek) surface. Just hold the muzzle closed gently and brush along the gumline with a childs soft toothbrush and dog toothpaste. Go slow and get him used to it. Wait until after his cleaning and his gums heal so this isn't painful. He'll most likely be put on antibiotics for a couple of weeks after the cleaning, and sometimes before as well. We've never had a problem cleaning a greyhounds teeth yet, but we know what we are doing.
Reply:it may have a gum desease you may want to get that checked out or something call in to a doctor for animals and they may tell you to bring in the dog but its worth the try! good luck i hope your dog gets better
they may even say its nothing!
Reply:i would recommend getting those long hard chew bones, that last awhile and since they are hard to chew they exercise her teeth. Or go to the vet and see what they would recommend.
hope this helps
Reply:Take her to the vet. They may use anathesia without your permission but they can probably use tricks to clean it out. Also if the gums are bleeding you need to do more then brush teeth. This could be gingivitis or gum desise. You have to get this checked out no matter what. Call greyhound breeders and see who they reccomend. They have special meds that can numb the mouth without hurting your greyhound.
Good luck! I hope your dog feels better!
Reply:If your dog's gums are bleeding she most likely has gingivitis. Which is an infection in the gums. She needs to be on some antibiotics most likely and she needs a teeth cleaning. Your vet should know how to handle greyhounds. If your worried, call the greyhound rescue in your area and find out which vets they use. Get your girl taken care of, then start brushing her teeth between cleanings. She won't be so much trouble when it doesn't hurt to get her teeth brushed. Good luck to you.
Reply:Bleeding gums are a sign of serious decay. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if untreated, this could lead to more serious issues than what the anesthsia would cause. Anesthesia is actually very safe now and it would be much safer than letting a bacterial infection deteriorate the bone tissue in your dog's jaw. Your dog will probably have to have some teeth pulled and they will clean the ones still in good shape and get him on antibiotics to clear up the infection. I work in dog rescue and we have seen this many times and it never clears up without a trip to the vet.
Once the vet cleans everything and the infection is gone, brush your dog's teeth everyday. Even if you only get one tooth done, still do it. He will start to get used to it and it will get easier and it will prevent this from happening again.
Reply:Maybe you should let the vet decide if the anesthetic is bad for your dog.
If her gums are bleeding that easily and she is that sensitive to you touching them then you need to have them looked at by a professional. There are several possibly problems occurring in her mouth. She could have severe dental disease (gingivitis) or she could have an inflammatory or hyperplastic disease of the gums as well.
Reply:Greyhounds need their teeth cleaned at least weekly.
If her gums are bleeding you will need to take her to the vet to have the teeth scaled.
She is probably suffering some nasty gingivitis which needs to be seen by a vet as gums can become infected (which can spread down the dog's throat and end up costing you a LOT of money)
Reply:Get her a nice big raw bone. Chewing on the bone will help clean her teeth.
Some grooming shops will scrap the tarter off a dogs teeth without drugging the dog.
I have a 15 yr old dog who has never needed his teeth cleaned. My secret is a raw bone twice a month.
Thanks.

Should my gums still be sore?
I had my wisdoms and an extra molar out exactly a week ago. My gums are still a little sore. I didn't realize that they were sore until I decided to try to eat something solid. I heated up some alfredo cheese raviolis, just alfredo sauce and ravioli no tomatoes, no spicy stuff in there or anything crunchy. I didn't even chew on my back teeth, I used my front teeth to chew it and basically swallowed it whole. Now my gums are really sore, I rinsed them afterwards with the water syringe and brushed my teeth well. Also, my jaw is super sore. Should I take a hydrocodone for the pain, or just wait til it wears off? Should it still hurt 7 days later? I was just sick of pudding and mashed potatoes so I didnt think a soft noodle with cheese would hurt me, but I guess I was wrong...What the heck am I gonna do about Thanksgiving tomorrow!!!!???? :*(
I am so hungry for REAL food!
Should my gums still be sore?
your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist, but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.
Reply:I would just suck it up, or take a pain killer. After you get your wisdom teeth pulled they usually do hurt for a while.
Reply:Yes, it is normal. Some people heal differently than others. Your heal time could be two weeks when others may take 30 days to heal. Try to be careful while you're healing and start by eating soft and gradually to hard foods. You will be OK, if you have pain then take something when you do.
Reply:I had a tooth out on 11/21 and my gums are still sore, did you have stitches or were they surgically removed, if so then yes it is normal. Also going a week without using your jaw to do anything other than talk and then chewing food causes the soreness also, keep eating semi-soft foods today and hopefully by tomorrow you will be able to eat some turkey, just be careful
Reply:Dear SOTRB,
You may have gotten "dry socket". This is extremely painful until it heals. Rinse your mouth and gums with warm salt water frequently, and call the Dentist. Sometimes thay have to pack the empty socket where the new gum tissue that was forming has been lost.
Reply:take a pain killer . And make a appoiment to see a dentist again .
Reply:Gums can be sore for as much as 3 months after an extraction while the healing process is taking place. A tooth is pretty big, and the hole it leaves behind when removed takes many months to fill in. If it only hurts when you eat or drink, don't worry - all is probably ok.
If the pain is constant, throbs at night so bad you can not sleep - even when you take meds it still hurts, and it gets worse everyday, then it is most likely a dry socket. A dry sockety is when the blood clot is no longer covering the bone, and now the bone is exposed to the air. A dry socket is VERY painful. Only a dentist can treat the dry socket properly. He will use a mixure of eugenol (a clove oil) and vasoline on a special type of gauze strip. He will place it into the socket to cover the bone. This will have to be done every other day for at least a week until the bone is covered with a new layer of skin.
One more thing that might be going on -
Occationally a bone spur will dislodge and start moving towards the top. Use a clean finger and gently rub the area where the tooth was removed. If you feel a sharp object, it may be a bone spur. The dentist can remove the little piece of bone and it will significantly reduce the pain (if that was the source of the pain).
If you do nothave a bone spur, and do not have a dry-socket... chances are you'll be fine. Warm tea bags can be a nice sedative as they have analgesic properties and the warmth may comfort the area. Some people prefer cold packs on the outside. The normal pain comes from swelling, so taking anti-inflamatories pain meds like advil, alieve, motrin are better than tylenol.
I hope you feel better soon!

My cats gums are really swollen....?
Earlier I noticed that my cats gums were swollen on the right side of her mouth. I just looked again, and now the left side of her mouth is swelling as well.
It doesn't seem to be bothering her. I planned on taking her to the vet this week anyway, before I even noticed this. Now it looks like I'll be taking her sooner than I thought.
I was just wondering if anybody knows what the problem might be? I really have no idea, I don't think I've ever seen her gums like that.
Thanks for the help!
My cats gums are really swollen....?
Probably has dental disease. Cats and dogs need their teeth cleaned just like we do to help cut down on plaque/tarter which can grow bacteria that can enter the blood stream and cause damage to organs. Your vet will probably recommend a teethe cleaning and antibiotic
Reply:Might just be really bad gingivitis. Or an impacted tooth, but that would be bothering her. It's good that you're getting it treated, because mouth infections can spread to the heart.
Reply:Some cats have a disorder where they are allergic to their own teeth. However I think this causes a lot of pain. I read about a resucued cat that had it and they had to remove all the teeth. I wouldn't think this is it though since it is extremly rare disorder. It could just be inflammed gums from tooth decay. You may need to get your cats teeth cleaned. it is a fairly simple process. I worked in a vets office and they cleaned cats and dogs teeth all the time. They just knock it out and the vet tech cleans it much the same way a human would have theirs done. Hope this helps.
Reply:It might be periodontal disease we had lost a cat and a skunk to this if left without treatment it will lead to cognitive heart failure (worst case) it is the bacteria that gets down between the tooth and gum a good idea to take it to the vet.It also will have a rotten smell.
Reply:This happend to my cat years ago. She was trying to eat a bee and it stung her. Her gums swolled for a good 24 hours. Another thought would be an abcess of some kind. Good luck. I know it looks awful.
Reply:sounds like her teeth and gums,,,,,the vet will help..
LH
Reply:Gingivitis and periodontal disease can be corrected or improved greatly with the help of your vet. Your cat may need to be sedated for dental work. You need to take care of this, even if she is "not complaining" because it can lead to other health problems, often very serious ones!

Reply:Might just be really bad gingivitis. Or an impacted tooth, but that would be bothering her. It's good that you're getting it treated, because mouth infections can spread to the heart.
Reply:Some cats have a disorder where they are allergic to their own teeth. However I think this causes a lot of pain. I read about a resucued cat that had it and they had to remove all the teeth. I wouldn't think this is it though since it is extremly rare disorder. It could just be inflammed gums from tooth decay. You may need to get your cats teeth cleaned. it is a fairly simple process. I worked in a vets office and they cleaned cats and dogs teeth all the time. They just knock it out and the vet tech cleans it much the same way a human would have theirs done. Hope this helps.
Reply:It might be periodontal disease we had lost a cat and a skunk to this if left without treatment it will lead to cognitive heart failure (worst case) it is the bacteria that gets down between the tooth and gum a good idea to take it to the vet.It also will have a rotten smell.
Reply:This happend to my cat years ago. She was trying to eat a bee and it stung her. Her gums swolled for a good 24 hours. Another thought would be an abcess of some kind. Good luck. I know it looks awful.
Reply:sounds like her teeth and gums,,,,,the vet will help..

Reply:Gingivitis and periodontal disease can be corrected or improved greatly with the help of your vet. Your cat may need to be sedated for dental work. You need to take care of this, even if she is "not complaining" because it can lead to other health problems, often very serious ones!

My cats gums are really swollen....?
Earlier I noticed that my cats gums were swollen on the right side of her mouth. I just looked again, and now the left side of her mouth is swelling as well.
It doesn't seem to be bothering her. I planned on taking her to the vet this week anyway, before I even noticed this. Now it looks like I'll be taking her sooner than I thought.
I was just wondering if anybody knows what the problem might be. I really have no idea, I don't think I've ever seen her gums like that.
Thanks for the help!

This just happened to my friends cat. she took the cat in and found out his gums were infected, he had to be put under and have a through cleaning and all kinds of stuff done. good luck
Reply:You need to start brushing fluffys teeth.Ask the vet about what to use as a form of tooth paste here is some info, you may be able to use kid tooth paste
Our cats are living longer now than in the past. Today, we have better preventive medicine (e.g., vaccinations and blood screening) and better ways to diagnose and treat many diseases. Now we are seeing more cats whose most severe medical problems are dental problems. To prevent oral disease, which is the number one health problem diagnosed in pets, it is essential to provide our pets with good dental care, both professionally and at home.
Dental disease in cats
Plaque: Cats rarely get cavities, but are much more prone to gum disease and excess tartar build-up on the teeth. Food particles and bacteria collect along the gumline forming plaque. Routine home care can remove this plaque.
Plaque and gum inflammation (gingivitis) in a catTartar: If plaque is not removed, minerals in the saliva combine with the plaque and form tartar (or calculus) which adheres strongly to the teeth. Plaque starts to mineralize 3-5 days after it forms. The tartar is irritating to the gums and causes an inflammation called gingivitis. This can be seen as reddening of the gums adjacent to the teeth. It also causes bad breath. At this point it is necessary to remove the plaque with special instruments called scalers, and then polish the teeth.
Periodontal Disease: If the tartar is not removed, it builds up under the gums. It separates the gums from the teeth to form "pockets" and encourages even more bacterial growth. At this point the damage is irreversible, and called "periodontal" disease. It can be very painful and can lead to loose teeth, abscesses, and bone loss or infection. As bacterial growth continues to increase, the bacteria may enter the bloodstream. This can cause infection of the heart valves (endocarditis), liver, and kidneys. If treated by your veterinarian with special instruments and procedures, periodontal disease can be slowed or stopped.
Reply:ur cat could have mouth rot u must get her to vets asap could be infected from rats ect.
Reply:sounds like she has some type of infection. hopefully your vet can prescribe some antibiotics for her.
Reply:If your cat has red, bleeding gums and lots of tartar buildup, take him/her to the vet! (if not treated it might get infected)
Is your cat refusing to eat? eating less or slower paced? It might be gum disease. Check out this site and see if any of the symptoms match or treatments work.

a couple of the treatments: brush his/her teeth,
give gum massages, feed only hard food (dry food)
Reply:sounds to me like your cat has a severe tooth issue -it's probably an abscess which can be very painful, don't be suprised if she suddenly stops eating! she needs to see a vet ! If you have financial problems - a lot of humane society's have clinic's affiliated with them for a sliding scale.

What happens when the gums receede till the end?
My gums are receeding so much . They have already receeded till 3/4th the distance between teeth and end of gums. Wwhat happens when the recession reaches the end of the gums?
What happens when the gums receede till the end?
Each time the gumline receeds the bone also receeds that holds the root of your tooth in the bone. If the gumline gets too low, the bone loss will be so severe that the tooth begins to loosen and falls out. A periodontist can make a tissue graft a place it there to end this process. It usually runs around $1,000, but the cost to replace a tooth is the same and usually more. Grafts are very successful in healthy people. Be sure to use a soft toothbrush or extrasoft in the meantime. Easy, gentle circles when brushing, do not scrub or apply very much pressure with your toothbrush. When the gumline begins to get very low like this things can begin to get stuck in beneath the root and cause an infection. If this happens you will needs antibiotics. Find a good periodontist in your area.
Reply:Heres a little info that I found online- As the disease progresses (periodontitis), it can destroy the bone and soft tissues that support the teeth. In advanced stages of periodontitis, teeth can become loose, fall out or have to be removed by a dentist. In fact, periodontitis is the culprit in 70 percent of tooth loss in adults over 40.
You should really get that checked out.
Reply:My gum are receeding so badly. My dentist warned me of the condition long time ago but I keep ignoring it. And finally, I just had my gum surgery yesterday. It costs me $2034 just to cover the gum area of 2 teeth. I have few more to go. It's very expensive and my Delta Dental insurance won't pay for it.

Swollen painful gums on top and dull ache in tooth?
My mums teeth are normally heathly as she brushes daily, but recently she is complaining of a dull ache in her top layer in one of her teeth. It has caused her gums to turn a bit red and she says that her gums are quiet painful and swollen. She can eat normally and is not senstive to any cold/hot drinks.
she has a dentist appiotment tomorrow. What can she expect the doctors to do for her? Has she got a infection? What treatment will be needed?
thanks
Swollen painful gums on top and dull ache in tooth?
Hi! It sounds like a tooth abscess and if she waits too long she will need a root canal and they'll have to put a crown on it....
Good for her for getting that appointment!!
She will probably need treatment with an oral antibiotic and they may inject her gum with a steroid treatment also..
Poor lady :o(

Why do my gums hurt when brushing?
I'll be totally honest here. Until recently, my oral hygiene has been terrible. But, thanks in part to recent in-life events concerning a few people around me and their teeth, I've decided that taking care of my teeth is quite important. My teeth aren't that bad. They're mostly straight, and my wisdom teeth came in fine. So now, I brush twice a day -- once after breakfast and once before bed. However, I notice that now that I'm brushing more often than usual, my gums have started to hurt quite a bit when I brush over them, and that never happened before. Is it my brush? Maybe I need to change the brush head (it's one of those battery-operated ones). I hope it's not anything more than that, which is why I've come here to ask. Thank you for reading.
Why do my gums hurt when brushing?
I have no idea, but it happens to me too.
eep!
Reply:You might need to switch to a more delicate brush, it might be because your dental hygene was horrible before so your gums aren't used to the abuse, this tends to happen when one starts to brush their teeth regulary after long periods of little or no brushing, gums can tend to swell after brushing or even bleed during.
Reply:Well your teeth and gums are probably not used to the extra attention that your are now paying them. And you may have gingivitis. Good thing you caught this early . To prevent gingivitis from becoming periodontitis I would recommend flossing as well as using Listerine. You definitely don't want to start getting periodontitis.
Reply:You probably have a touch of gum disease. It's nothing to get excited about. It happens to the best of us. Try salt water rinses two or three times a day or rinse with Listerine. If it doesn't subside, have your dentist prescribe an antibiotic.
Reply:u may have gingivitis see a dentist a good mouthwash helps
Reply:Gums that hurt during brushing is a sign of gingivitis, but there are other causes too. Do your gums seem red or swollen? If so, then it is gingivitis and you should increase your efforts about oral hygiene. Try to brush more frequently and use dental floss at least once a day. Visit your dentist for a professional teeth cleaning.
Other causes may be the hardness of your toothbrush head or the way you brush. It is better to buy a soft head for your toothbrush. Learn how to brush correctly. If you brush too hard or you make the wrong movements you may damage not only your gums but also the tooth enamel.
Reply:First of all you should try using a soft bristle brush. Then, it sounds as thought you may have gingivitis which you can use Listerine to help prevent and also see a oral hygienist who can prescribe a prescription if it is very bad which should help.

BLEEDING GUMS!! i actually have a healthy set of teeth...?
but a few days back i've noticed slight bleeding in my gums when i tried to brush something off that i thought was stuck there.. and these happen to be the front lower jaw teeth! i quickly put some gum antiseptic on it... but is it normal? or would it worsen? am i getting too paranoid? what can i do about it besides seeing a dentist? i got a root canal on a different tooth 5 years back...
BLEEDING GUMS!! i actually have a healthy set of teeth...?
To keep your teeth strong and healthy, you really have to take care of your gums to avoid BLEEDING GUMS.
That’s good advice you will get from any dentist so that the simple symptom of bleeding gums will not get into a worse case of gum disease.

http://www.themouthdoctor.co.uk/ and see for yourself the freedom from bleeding gums.
Reply:Its most likely the toothpaste you are using or you are brushing too hard.
Reply:Gum bleeding, especially with women can be hormonal, but if your dental cleanings are not up to date it can be a sign of calculus/tartar buildup and gingivitis or gum disease. You need to have the calculus removed every 6 months to help keep it from building up larger and beneath the gums. This can begin to cause gum bleeding and bone loss is left too long. It starts as gingivitis which is simply gum inflammation and bleeding. This is reversible with good oral hygiene and a cleaning. If left too long it progresses to gum disease which means bone loss begins to occur. A cleaning is very important to stop the bone loss and prevent future bone loss. You must maintain regular cleanings and good oral hygiene after this to prevent further bone loss and the teeth loosening and being lost. Good oral hygiene will slow the process. Floss, brush, and mouthwash.
Reply:i think you probably were brushing too hard, but i do agree with spongebob, good hygiene is very important. but since you said you were trying to scrub something off your tooth, that makes me think that you most likely just hurt your gums. you should never brush really hard like that. you want to be very gentle, especially around your gums.
Reply:bleeding gums can be a warning and obvious sign that you are under attack by gum disease. be aware that gum disease shows off a warning sign in the advanced stage. have it checked by a dental expert to get proper treatments.
tooth loss can eventually happen if you left gum disease untreated. if do not pay close attention to good oral hygiene then it can result to gum problems. make it a habit to carefully and properly brush and floss teeth every after meal. this can help remove plaque that sticks around teeth. and can fight bad bacteria that can cause oral infections.
dental visits and dental cleanings are very helpful in taking care of the gums, teeth and oral health. an all natural oral care product can help keep gums and teeth healthy and promote fresh breath. visit http://www.oramd.co.uk for more tips on how to take care of the gums.

Swollen gums on 15 month old?
My son is 15 months old. He had his MMR vaccine on April 1st. On April 6, he started running a high fever (mostly at night). His doctor told me to expect a reaction like that, so I alternated Tylenol and Motrin for the fever, gave him plenty of liquids, etc... After 4 days of this I took him back to the doctor (April 10). After looking him over his doctor said that both ears were slightly infected and that he had blisters in his throat. He did a blood test and said that judging by the results he suspected the blisters in his throat were caused by a virus (he didn't specify what virus, but did mention if he got a rash after the fever broke it was roseola). Well, the fever broke and there's been no rash, but his gums are unbelievably swollen. After doing some reading I suspected it was gingivostomatitis, but there are no blisters on his hands or feet. This is the only symptom he has, but his gums have been so swollen that they almost cover his teeth and they have been bleeding....

My gums bleed when i brush but i dont have gum disease?
i take veryy good care of my mouth, ive never had a cavity i brush 2 or more times a day and i floss. my gums bleed when i brush them though. its not a problem becuase ive been to the dentist and even when she was working on me they bled, so its not a problem. shes even asked me if they usually bleed when i brush them but said nothing else. so i know its not a problem but is there any way i can stop it? its not very bad bleeding its light, and theres no pain. i dont know theyre bleeding until i look in the mirror after. any help?
My gums bleed when i brush but i dont have gum disease?
OMG. The answers you are getting are interesting. Since you are flossing and brushing regularly, you should not be getting this problem. The real reason for this is that your digestion is not working well. You are most likely eating low fat, high carb diet and very little salt. Don't eat the white, bleached, garbage salt sold in stores. It is not good for you. When they make it, they heat it to about 1,100 degrees and destroy all the nutrients salt normally contains. You need to purchase "air dried" sea salt or the best is "pink sea salt" that is a mixture of Hawaiian Red Volcanic salt and Mediterranean salt. That has lots of electrolytes and is very good for you. Once you get that, you need to eat about 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. per day. Salt is how your body makes the HCL to digest your food and kill bacteria that enter your stomach.
To get rid of the bleeding, you can go to: www.healthline.cc (not the .com web site with the same name, it is bogus) or order from: (800) 370 - 3447.
Purchase the following:
NEEM OIL
PINE BARK EXTRACT
Mix these two items together to make a small amount of paste. Put this on your gums in the morning and at night. The bleeding will stop in one day. If you do have the "pockets" problem, it will depend on how severe the gums have receded. If you have really bad pockets, it will take about 2 months of doing this to get completely rid of them and your gums will then be healthy. If the pockets are a 1 or 2, it will only take a few weeks.
Don't listen to the crazies that tell you that you need surgery and all kinds of antibiotics that will damage your body. That is all totally bad information. They are the same people that will tell you that Amalgam fillings are O.K. and won't hurt you. They are totally wrong about that.
good luck to you.
Reply:are you applying pressure when you brush? that's actually bad for you. get a good electric brush, put it in position at the gumline, and use no force. keep smiling.
Reply:get a softer tooth brush and don't brush so hard
Reply:OK..two possible reasons fro your gum tissue bleeding issue. (1) You may have what is called "pockets" between or around one or more teeth, Those are areas where the gum bone has receded and food will pack in them setting up irritation and that can cause bleeding...On the other hand you may actually have undernourished gum tissue, I know, sounds dumb, but it does happen and it's a real issue for a lot of people. It's very common among people who over do their recreational drug use. Other people who don't eat a well balanced diet can cause their gum tissue to be anemic as it were. The cure for that, beside a better balanced diet, is to get a really good multi-vitamin high in vitamins A%26lt;E%26lt;B%26lt;C%26lt;D%26lt; and Zinc.....Oh yes, if your a smoker, be advised that smoking eliminates vitamins D and C from your body almost as fast as it goes in. Take care and I wish you well.
Reply:i had the same problem, but when i was really sick and in hospital they put me on some sorta antibiotics, not sure what they were, but now my gums don't bleed. so there must be something out there to help. and that was 5 mths ago and still no bleeding still.
Reply:Check a good dentist near you or better check an Oral Surgeon.
I have a gingivitis before, and it bleeds when I brush my teeth. Severe gingivitis cause halitosis (bad breath)too. My General Practitioner dentist doesn't see any problem about it but this present dentist of mine (he's an oral surgeon too) saw my gingivitis. And he fix it. He do minor oral surgery. He told me that the reason why my gums bleeds during brushing is that, i also brush my gums dead tissue. Healthy gums do not bleed when brush and to promote healthy teeth and gums this dead tissue should be removed because it blocks the supply of blood to teeth and gums.

Mix these two items together to make a small amount of paste. Put this on your gums in the morning and at night. The bleeding will stop in one day. If you do have the "pockets" problem, it will depend on how severe the gums have receded. If you have really bad pockets, it will take about 2 months of doing this to get completely rid of them and your gums will then be healthy. If the pockets are a 1 or 2, it will only take a few weeks.
Don't listen to the crazies that tell you that you need surgery and all kinds of antibiotics that will damage your body. That is all totally bad information. They are the same people that will tell you that Amalgam fillings are O.K. and won't hurt you. They are totally wrong about that.
good luck to you.
Reply:are you applying pressure when you brush? that's actually bad for you. get a good electric brush, put it in position at the gumline, and use no force. keep smiling.
Reply:get a softer tooth brush and don't brush so hard
Reply:OK..two possible reasons fro your gum tissue bleeding issue. (1) You may have what is called "pockets" between or around one or more teeth, Those are areas where the gum bone has receded and food will pack in them setting up irritation and that can cause bleeding...On the other hand you may actually have undernourished gum tissue, I know, sounds dumb, but it does happen and it's a real issue for a lot of people. It's very common among people who over do their recreational drug use. Other people who don't eat a well balanced diet can cause their gum tissue to be anemic as it were. The cure for that, beside a better balanced diet, is to get a really good multi-vitamin high in vitamins A%26lt;E%26lt;B%26lt;C%26lt;D%26lt; and Zinc.....Oh yes, if your a smoker, be advised that smoking eliminates vitamins D and C from your body almost as fast as it goes in. Take care and I wish you well.
Reply:i had the same problem, but when i was really sick and in hospital they put me on some sorta antibiotics, not sure what they were, but now my gums don't bleed. so there must be something out there to help. and that was 5 mths ago and still no bleeding still.
Reply:Check a good dentist near you or better check an Oral Surgeon.
I have a gingivitis before, and it bleeds when I brush my teeth. Severe gingivitis cause halitosis (bad breath)too. My General Practitioner dentist doesn't see any problem about it but this present dentist of mine (he's an oral surgeon too) saw my gingivitis. And he fix it. He do minor oral surgery. He told me that the reason why my gums bleeds during brushing is that, i also brush my gums dead tissue. Healthy gums do not bleed when brush and to promote healthy teeth and gums this dead tissue should be removed because it blocks the supply of blood to teeth and gums.

Receiding gums or weakening enamel?
I hardly ever go to the dentist, but I haven't had a cavity in about 15 years. I would say I take pretty good care of my teeth. I went to the dentist last probably 4 years ago, because my tooth was feeling sensititve, and it turned out I was brushing too hard. Well a few months ago, I started feeling sensititvity, and started scratching at one of my back molars, and felt a ridge about 1/4 of the way down from the gum line. It feels almost like a straight line, and only goes across the front. It is a bit sensitive to cold. I was wondering if maybe it was enamel loss, or receiding gums. I believe I was brushing too hard. I have gotten a soft bristle brush, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I am trying to avoid the dentist, because I have no insurance, and don't make much money as it is. Any thoughts?
Receiding gums or weakening enamel?
It sounds like your gum has receeded to expose the interface between the enamel and cementum [root surface]. This gum recession can be caused by gum disease [highly probable if you haven't seen a dentist in a long time],or by brushing too hard,or by grinding your teeth. I exposed my molar root surfaces by over brushing and not having a dentist do regular cleans and my dentist desensitized the teeth by giving me some tooth mousse and desensitizing tooth paste. I started using an electric tooth brush properly ie brushing gum to tooth and by flossing and in a couple of severe sites they had to do a gum graft.

Bleeding Gums?
Lately I've had a pretty bad canker sore in the upper right, that was then followed by gum bleeding on the same side of the mouth.
The gums are swollen and hurt when I try to brush them.
I've been trying my best to brush them anyways but there is a lot of blood forming on my toothbrush and its very painful.
I've tried mouth wash a ton of times for as much as I can stand it, but the area is still inflamed.
Do you have any at-home remedies or know of products I can get at the drug store to cure this problem?
Will it go away if I keep trying to brush them?
Bleeding Gums?
go to your dentist.
they make a perscription mouthwash for bleeding gums
its called Peridex or Chlorhexidine.
i have this same problem.
I have the Canker sores alot
and my dentist gave me a perscription for Kenalog in Orabase, its a topical steriod ointment for the mouth.
and he also told me to floss my teeth more, my dentists says that the more plaque you have, the more your gums will bleed, and the more you floss the less plaque you have so the less your gums will bleed.
also try using Sensodyne toothpaste and a extra soft toothbrush
I use Senosodyne toothpaste, and Colgate 360 Sensitive Toothbrush and i use a Mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine to help with the inflammation and bleeding.
The Crest Pro Health mouth washes also contain the ingredient Chlorhexidine.
You may also want to try the Gly-oxide rinse, sold in drug stores, for the pain in your mouth.
if you cant afford those things, try useing a 50/50 mix of water and hydrogen perioxide rinse after you brush your teeth.
good luck, i feel you pain...
the things i use actually help a lot.
Reply:I get canker sores all the time!
Just drink lots of WATER!
NO SODA'S! Sugar makes it worse

If it still bothers you, go to the dentist.
Reply:It sounds like you may have some sort of oral infection that needs to be treated by a dentist (or an oral hygienist). Make an appointment with your dentist, and then follow whatever course of treatment he prescribes.
In the meantime, you might try gargling with warm salt water as a mild anesthestic and antiseptic.
I have also heard that "tea tree oil" is good for bleeding gums. You can apply it with a Q-tip to the affected areas. (It is sold with the vitamins %26amp; homeopathic medicines at most pharmacies). It will probably burn, too, but it should help heal the swollen gums.
You can also use Orajel or other local anesthetics to numb the sore areas so that you can at least eat and talk without so much irritation until you can get to a dentist. But I would not rely totally on home remedies. If you have a severe case of gingivitus, you can lose the gum tissue that hold the teeth in place and end up losing teeth. If your gums are damaged too much, you will not even be able to be fitted with false teeth to replace them. So don't take a chance on it!

Reply:How long has it been since you have had a "cleaning"? Sounds like you have gingivitis.. flossing will heal your gingiva.. but you need to see your hygienist regularly to clean the buildup beneath the gums or they will never heal.

My gums have become really sensitive,why?
for about 2 or 3 months now my gums keep bleeding it s really painfull when i brush my teeth i ve tried a soft toothbrush and using "sensitive gums toothpaste but it isn t working befor u ask i have made an apointment with my dentist but it s in 2 monthtime and i was wondering if it could be that i m lacking in some vitamin, i ve always been anemic but thats never been a problem in that area, could it be something else and why did it come on so sudenly?
My gums have become really sensitive,why?
This depends on how much of your gums are affected. If it is just one area something may be irritating the gum. If you have had dental treatment lately that might be contributing to it. If it has been a while since you've seen your dentist then it may be a general infection of the gums (gingivitis) or if its affecting the part that holds your teeth in the periodontium (periodontitis). There are also other things that can affect the healing of tissues in general. If you have noticed that small cuts are not healing as quickly as they should and/or bruises are lasting more than 7-10 days then something much bigger may be at play; in which case you should make an appointment with your physician.
Most likely it is periodontitis which most people are affected by. It is not reversible without treatment, but it usually can be stopped by your dentist and YOUR improved home care. Improved flossing will sometimes help but not in a sawing fashion that cuts your gums.
Since you have an appointment already, warm salt water rinses can likely soothe your gums a little, but don't miss or postpone your appointment.
As for your update- that may play an important role in your situation. Stomach acids are very strong and have likely eroded the backs/ tongue side of your teeth- as you may be able to imagine, if enamel the hardest substance in your body can be weakened then your gums can likely be injured as well. The condition also can play a severe role in your nutrient intake and fluid balance. Many people share your situation and help is available a google or yahoo search can definately help you find someone to talk to in your area.
Good Luck.

Irritated gums on one side?
I really have irritated gums on one side of my mouth, if I scratch them some of the pain goes away but it makes them bleed. I used a hot facecloth and put it on my cheek, which helped a bit.
Any idea what this might be? My gums on the other side are just normal and they don't hurt.
Irritated gums on one side?
Sounds like gingivitis, which, as Wikipedia puts it, is "the inflammation of the gums (gingiva) around the teeth." It also says, "Gingivitis may be caused by a build up of plaque and tartar from improper cleaning of teeth, or by injury to the gums from over-vigorous brushing and/or flossing." The condition is generally reversible."
Go here to learn about it.
http://www.emedicinehealth.com/gingiviti...
Here's what you can do immediately (from the link above)
Self-Care at Home
The best home care for gingivitis is prevention.
* Regular dental visits to remove plaque build-up are necessary to combat gingivitis.
* Once a dentist removes plaque, regular brushing and flossing will minimize plaque formation. Even with good dental hygiene, plaque will begin to accumulate again.
So, what I would do at this point is go to your dentist, get diagnosed, and if it is in fact gingivitis, take the appropriate steps listed above and as mandated by your dentist.
Reply:I would stop scratching them, you are irritating them further. I would then rinse my mouth out with warm salt water. Swish the salted water around the sore gums for at least 30 seconds to a minute several times a day. That should help heal them somewhat. But you need to see a dentist.
Reply:Could be that you have something stuck in the gum. Or the start of some gum disease, periodontal problem.
Try rinsing your mouth with some warm salt water. This might help heal the problem spot. Brush your teeth lightly there, but brush your teeth well. Be cautious with dental floss in that area also. If it doesn't go away, you could have an infection and need to see a dentist.

Receeding Gums?
Well i haven't gone to the dentist yet, but after getting hit in the mouth with braces (not that hard) my gums started to bleed for a minute or so then my one tooth got sensitive to cold. It's been about a week now and its still sensitive. I've been brushing with sensedyne and its kinda helps. i started using the paste 3 days ago. It doesn't hurt when i touch it or bite down but is sensitive to cold drinks and air. So my question is can Receeding gums be caused by a tooth trauma like mine ?
Receeding Gums?
Gum recession can be linked to trauma, to be more specific a chronic trauma to the same area, like brushing really hard using hard tooth brush with excessive pressure can cause recession, some tongue or lip piercing can cause recession if in constant contact with your gum, ortho treatment can cause recession, now acute trauma like yours is less likely to cause recession, even though its possible.
the symptoms you described for your tooth being sensitive can suggest 2 things, either the tooth is hyper-sensitive because of the hit and your ortho treatment made things worse, usually this kind of sensitivity will resolve in couple weeks, the other possibility is that your tooth is cracked or fractured because of the trauma. and localized gum recession can be associated with a cracked tooth. my advice is that you need to see a dentist ASAP for proper diagnosis and treatment.

foods particles that is left and usually clings to the teeth are the source of bacteria to cause receding gums. it is a must to floss and brush teeth after meal to remove plaque and tartar. practice oral care would also be a great help like proper brushing and careful flossing.

Receding gums and braces?
Did or does anyone have braces that also has receding gums due to over-agressive brushing? Not receding gums cause of peridontal disease or anything, strickly over-aggressive brushing. How did it affect your braces and the end result if any??
Receding gums and braces?
Excessive scrubbing can cause recession, you should always use a soft toothbrush, perhaps one made especially for orthodontics. It has the bracket area cut lower in the brush to allow for brushing over brackets. Also angle the tooth brush to clean "below" the gum line and "under" the brackets, then brush the "incical edge" and "upper" portion of the brackets. Most of what causes this to happen is when you've brushed, but still see particles around the brackets, so you brush again, just harder. It's not how "hard" you brush, but how "well" you do it that's effective. Try to "lighten up" with a soft toothbrush and spend "more time" with your brushing. Sometimes this alone is very effective. I've given ortho patients proxy brushes to clean the brackets under the wires when they appear to be scrubbing too hard trying to remove debris from the bracket area where it tends to get caught at. Also the use of a water pik is helpful. Another tip, after eating anything to rinse vigorously to remove as much of the food as possible. Be sure to floss at least once a day if not more, to remove any plaque between the teeth and below the gum line. It's great that you are trying to keep your teeth and orthodontics clean, but too much scrubbing is harmful to the tissue. Try to spend 5 to 10 minutes with your hygiene at least twice a day. It take a little longer to clean with the additional bands, brackets, elastics, wires and what ever else you may have with your treatment, but the extra time is well worth saving the trauma to your tissue. Good luck and I hope I was of some help with your problem. Any time you have questions or concerns such as this, always ask your orthodontist or any of the assistants, as they are there to help you through out your treatment.

It take a little longer to clean with the additional bands, brackets, elastics, wires and what ever else you may have with your treatment, but the extra time is well worth saving the trauma to your tissue. Good luck and I hope I was of some help with your problem. Any time you have questions or concerns such as this, always ask your orthodontist or any of the assistants, as they are there to help you through out your treatment.

Swollen gums cause enlarged lymph nodes?
My gums are a little sore, to be honest. I have no infections since I am obsessive about hygeine. But they're a little sore because I have braces and started to use very hard/good toothbrush.
This caused what was an enlarged lymph node under the left side of my jaw last night.
The pain is gone... but is this possible?
My gums do hurt less, really.
What could have been the underlying cause, or is there one?
Swollen gums cause enlarged lymph nodes?
When you brush with a hard brush your gums can be injured which will lead to swelling and then your lymph nodes have to get in action to drain the swelling. Use a soft brush always. You can use baking soda or salt water to rinse and this will help keep your mouth clean.
Reply:Being obsessive with hygeine has very little to do with infection. In fact, many folks who are careless with hygeine are less prone to infection because of a stronger immune system. Either way, swollen lymph nodes are almost always a sign of some kind of infection.
Reply:Yes this can occur, try using a softer brush.

My gums are really dark.?
i have dark gums. not the whole of it only the exposed portion . is there any way to make my gums look healthier. or is it natural and just have to let it out of my mind.
My gums are really dark.?
If you are black, it's normal for you to have dark gums because of pigmentation similar to that of your skin. However, if you are caucasian or asian, having black gums usually results from cigarette smoking. Then what you can do is cease from smoking and your gums will be normal in time.
Reply:That's the pigment of your gums. Dark gums do not mean they are not healthy. As long as they are not swollen or bleeding, smile and get over it!
Reply:u might have gingivitus. ask a dentist. sometimes its natural
Reply:this would depend on several factors... your ethnicity for one. Certain races have more pigment in their skin. It can also indicate gum disease check it out with a dentist

Bleedding gums, early symptom of HIV infection?
I had a low risk exposure and after 2 months have bleeding gums, ie in the morning when i spit i see blood mixed with saliva and after 4 to 5 spits the blood stops.
Is this just a bleeding gum problem or a early symptom of HIV infection ( after the low risk exposure I had light fever, headache and yeast like infection on my genitals which is gone now).
I got tested for HIV after 3 weeks of exposure with negative results
Bleedding gums, early symptom of HIV infection?
To be sure, you should be tested for HIV again. It may take six to twelve weeks for antibodies to show up in your system.
If the bleeding gums are caused by HIV, then the antibodies would probably be in your system, so retesting again now might not be too soon. This is something to discuss and have evaluated by your doctor. Your doctor may want you to wait longer, or to have two more tests. There are many diseases that can cause bleeding gums, but of course gum disease is the most common. Have you kept up with your dental hygiene?
Reply:I am not sure. Maybe you just have gingivitis, it makes your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Ask your doctor or dentist.
Reply:It could be gingivitis. Go to the dentist for a check-up. Dentist treated me for infection and it stopped the bleeding. I had a cavity which turned into a root canal. Good luck.
Reply:There are other, more common infections that could cause this. If you had contact with someone with HIV, you should know that with a compromised immune system they may have been carrying any number of infections. Do you floss in the morning? If the bleeding is following flossing and then stops, sounds like you have a mild gum problem which is probably unrelated.
Have your doctor check you for a range of infections, and see a dentist if your gums don't improve. Good luck.

Pinker Gums?
Do you know how to get pinker gums? I want to be a model so I want a prettier smile. but I need pink gums. I don't have money for oral surgery. I just need a simple way to do this. Does anyone have the answer? I need some useful advice
ME
Pinker Gums?
you can try out this product call ORAMD " THE MOUTH DOCTOR" from trusted health products. It have natural ingredients that used to treat gingivitis. you can check it out at http://www.oramd.com
Reply:brush brush brush
make sure to always brush your gums
it will help maintain the pinkness and healthiness of your gums
one day of gum brushing won't help so make sure to brush at least twice a day everyday
Reply:You could try Blanx toothpaste, makes gumes pinker and teeth whiter, I've used it so I know it works.
Reply:Gums pinker? Are they red around the edges where they touch your teeth? This is from inflammation/irritation. Keep them as clean as you can but, do not scrub too hard %26amp; use a soft toothbrush. Hard/medium with make your gums more 'sore'.
If you mean your gums are darker in some areas it can either be from a 'silver' filling that you have that is close to the gum. OR..is can be what is called physiological pigmentation. This is completely normal. People with darker skin tones can also get darker coloration on their gums. I don't know of anything that you can do to change that.
Check it out with your dentist if you are concerned. Can get a 'check-up' and cleaning too if you are due.
Hope this helps.

My gums hurt!?
I have braces and every time i brush my teeth it hurts my gums and I have a soft bristle toothbrush. And if I dont brush the area that the gums hurt, it feels like I haven't brushed my teeth in days! Help!
My gums hurt!?
You must have just gotten your braces tightened. Take some aleve or motrin, something to relieve the pain, about an hour before you brush. That way it won't hurt as bad. Then you can gargle with warm salt water afterwards to also help relieve the pain.
If it has been a while since you had them tightened, you might want to talk to your dentist or orthodontist about what is making them hurt.
Reply:Check with your Orthodontist
Reply:go to the denstist
Reply:Brush and Floss at least twice a day. Flossing with braces can be a pain, but it will keep your gums from being inflamed. You should still get your regular check up and cleanings every 4-6 months, depending on what your orthodontist recommends.

Teeth & Gums help?
Ok I am an idiot,in summer time I brush my teeth less.I have started brushing again,but i noticed some things.The highest parts of my 6 upper,closer to my lips teeth have a yellow covering,I hav'nt been able to brush it of yet.Those teeth and the 4 lower jaw teeth (closest to my lips),my gums have RECEDED? a little of my teeth(higher the upper teeth,lower for my lower teeth).Its more serius for my lower teeth (I THINK I CAN ALMOST SEE THE ROOT OF MY LOWER TEETH).I heard a while back that the gums will go back to normal if i take more care of my teeth,is this true?how long would it take? would there be any long term damage?plus how would I go about taking that upper layer of yellow stuff of ?one more thing,my upper "Bunny" teeth and the lower 4 "tictac" looking ones about have lines,is this normal?(not very noticable).WOW I wrote alot,sorry i have been freaking out about this for a while,by the way im 15 so its not like a 80 year old tooth problems.I'm new here,sry if I seem to naive
Teeth %26amp; Gums help?
You don't seem naive. You should see a dentist. Plaque only takes about 12 hours to harden into tartar (AKA: calculus) and needs to be removed by a dentist or hygienist. It takes sharp steel instruments to remove it from your teeth, and cannot come off with any toothbrush known to man. Don't worry about it. If it is tartar, it can be removed. If it is staining, it can be whitened with in office treatments or things like Crest White Strips. Good luck.

Pain in my gums?
Yesterday I went to brush my teeth, and while brushing a lot of blood came out. After that, three of my gums started hurting very badly and I got stomach pains. The pain got worth and did not respond to some medication I took for pain. The next day- today- my stomach hurts every time I eat, the pain in my gums is still there, and now the ear that is on the same side as my hurting gums are on, is hurting. What could be wrong with me?
Pain in my gums?
The bleeding gums is probably gingivitis. Swallowing blood even a little bit can upset your stomach. Make sure u floss the area until it no longer bleeds... and there after. That cleans out the infection. The pain in your ear might be caused from an infected tooth back there, is it in the same area? That can be very dangerous if its an abscess. You need to get it checked out ASAP.
Reply:it can be gingavitis. see a dentist
Reply:Gingivitis is it I'm positive cause thats what happened to me when I had gingivitis, when you have Gingivitis that mean you wasn't brushing you gums good, so see a dentist and he/she will help you with that.
Reply:sounds like an infection somewhere. could be ear infection, sinus infection or an abscessed tooth... I would see a Dr.
Reply:something is wrong with your gums if you have bad breath, swollen and tender gums, as well as if your gums tend to bleed and become painful. all this is cause by bad bacteria in the mouth. and something is really wrong cause you have gum disease. you can seek help from a dentist and check out sources like http://www.themouthdoctor.com this will give you an insight about all natural approach in treating and preventing gum disease.

Black gums?
Is this normal? I just noticed that my black lab has... black gums. It's just a straight line across the top and bottom, jet black... Like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/m...
(please excuse the ugliful drawing xD)
But is this normal. I don't remember her having black gums like that. She's 2 years old and doesn't have any bad tartar build up or stains on her teeth. Just the normal sorta yellowy-off-white teeny bits of color on her back teeth, that's all. But... I find this weird.... Is that just normal? xP

I actualy liked the drawing!
My dog has the black gums too.. and so did my last one (who lived to be 14) Sometimes the inside of a dogs mouth isnt their best looking feature..
Reply:its normal for dogs...
Reply:It may just be pigment (natural coloring) if the gums.
Reply:My black mix dog has the same thing...they are just a different color than lighter dogs
Reply:Sounds like just normal skin color .
Normal for a dog.
You allready checked for Bad teeth.
So you eliminated that.
Reply:Dogs can actually have pigmentation in their gum structures that color them black.
However, if you ever notice that the gums are white, blue or purple'ish in color then you should see your veterinarian immediately.
The yellowing of the teeth also, suggests that you should take your dog in for a dental cleaning. Yellow is an indicator that there is tarter build-up in the teeth.
PS - The drawing is awesome! :))
Hope this helps!
Reply:it noarmal for some dogs not all but its should be normal
some time they grow in to it
when the come in to adulthood

Help gums around wisdom teeth?
On 1 side of my mouth the gums/cheeck touch the wisdom tooth. Usually it isn't a terrible problem.
However, occasionally it swells up making is hard to close my mouth, difficult to brush and hard to eat.
I brush and eat carefully and do my very best to keep the space between the wisdom tooth and gum free of anything. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening, or more importantly is there anything I can do to reduce the swelling and discomfort when it does happen?
Going to a dentist probably isn't an option as I do not have insurance and am unwilling to pay huge amounts of money.
Help gums around wisdom teeth?
Well the swelling is caused by inflamation of the gums around your wisdom tooth. Then you have the added problem of when it swells your opposite teeth bite on it! then it swells from being bitten... DOH! The only way to prevent it as you have mentioned is to keep it really clean.. I'd advise trying to gently jiggle your toothbrush bristles into the space between your gum and your tooth when you brush regularly to reduce the inflammation. Other than that, you might want to try savacol Mouthwash, it has chlorhexadine in it which can help kill some of the bad bacteria which is causing the swelling in the first place. if that don't work maybe if you could get your hand on a syringe of some sort to squirt savacol under your gum might help. Other than that you either need the tooth out, or the other option is to cut away the gum covering your tooth.. Ever seen Cast away, maybe an ice skate will help :) Otherwise get a healthcare card and rock up to one of those free government dental clinics.
Reply:I had the same problem. The dentist recommended having my wisdom teeth pulled. So I did. However, now I have four holes in the back of my mouth that swell up and cause the same pain as before. I just recommend ibuprofen to reduce the swelling when it gets bad. However, it is not a permanent solution. Sorry.
Reply:Just go to the dentist and ask what is wrong and what can you do to reduce the pain. You dont have to make an appointment to get it fixed you could just ask the dentist whats wrong so he or she ooculd give you some pointers.
Reply:good luck the best thing to do is pull it out...........
or wait a very long time for it to be fully out of the gum only then will the pain stop..... sucky though now you no how a baby feels *L*
Reply:It swells up either because the tooth is growing in more and irritating the skin or because you are getting food stuck in there. I had that same problem. The only permanent solution is to get the tooth pulled. There really is nothing that you can do to prevent it from happening, and ibuprofen will only help so much. Also, leaving the wisdom tooth in crowds your other teeth and is really hard on their roots. That will cause even more problems for you further down the road.

Bleedin gums also?
How long has it been since you had your teeth cleaned? Usually bleeding gums are b/c you don't floss which means that all that food and bacteria just sit inbetween your teeth and make little friends causing gingival irritation, thus bleeding. This is gingivitis and if you don't take care of them and you will end up with tartar/calculus buildup and periodontal disease/bone loss. Get flossing daily and get a cleaning and checkup. You are supposed to get your teeth cleaned every 6 months so any buildup can be removed and they can check everything.

Reply:Abcess? Did you have a tooth removed?? Broken tooth??? Not sure what you're actually trying to say. Could you possibly retype your question in easy to understand English?
But anyway, go see a dentist and don't waste time here.
Reply:Sounds like gum disease. You'll need to get a cleaning. If left alone, it can progress to Periodontal disease which can lead to bone loss. Gum disease can happen at any age. Seventy-five percent of the population have some form of it. There are effective treatment options your hygenist can provide. Continue to brush and floss daily. And book an appt to get a cleaning. Good luck!

My gums hurt so bad! Can somebody help me get rid of the pain?
I've been having a cavaty on the right lover side of my teeth for 3 years and I've been having bad toothaches off and on because I had an abcest. Recently the part of the tooth where the cavaty was out came out and it just left a little whole in the middle of my teeth where you can see some of my gums. Although my tooth isn't hurting anymore...my gums are starting to hurt...right at the part where you can almost feel the jawbone. Does anybody know what I can do to keep it from hurting so bad?

You need to get to a dentist, you are developing an infection. You need to have that tooth pulled. Good luck!
Reply:if it bleeds and has bad odour take calendula 30 Report It
Reply:go to the dentist

best way.
good luck :)
Reply:Dentist immediately.
Reply:u can use orajel to numb the pain or a painkiller. you should see your dentist - leaving cavities for 3 years is bad because the infection can go right to your jaws and pus can build up. My teacher lost his voice for a few days because of a tooth infection, and I've seen some kids with large abcess because they don't do anything about their cavity.

Reply:dentist!!!!
also you can take advil i think but im not sure
also to prevent this use mouth wash
Reply:make an appointment to see the dentest and take advils. Advils reduce pain. Really i had the same problem as you and I took Advils.
Reply:Take ibuprofen
and eat softer foods.
also when you brush your teeth, dont brush so hard.
that's happened to me before cause i was brushing too hard.

Reply:Try some L-Lysine, That is what my Dr. told me to do. You can find it in the vitamin isle. In any drug store or grocery. Or if you can stand the taste Anbesol, (yuck ).
Reply:bless your heart you probably cannot afford a dentist if you haven't gone. Ask if the dentist will take a monthly payment in small amounts.

Flossing for healthy gums?
i have recession so i went to the dentist and she cleaned out all the plaque under my gums so they were health but obviously i still have recession. a week later and my gums have gone red and slightly puffier again, im guessing plawue has builded up again, i do the circular brushing thing so would flossing also contribute to help get the plaque out the gums?
Flossing for healthy gums?
Plaque doesn't build up quite that fast, but sometimes they will remain red for quite a period of time after a cleaning. The trick is to massage your gums with the toothbrush to maintain the blood flow, and yes flossing is vital, as is mouthwash. Look for Crest Pro-Health or ACT, they're generally the better ones. When you floss make sure you are not afraid to go up more towards the gumline. If you are hesitant about flossing by the floss on a pic, it's very easy to use, but your teeth and gums will thank you greatly and you can reverse gum disease by brushing, flossing and mouthwashing. Good luck, oh and don't be afraid if your gums start bleeding while you are flossing, they will for a while until you start getting that tartar and plaque outta there.
Reply:Be careful not to brush too hard, brush twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste like colgate. It sounds as if your dentist worked on your gums, so they might need to heal a little. Flossing is good, do it daily to prevent the build up of plaque and food deposits. Just be careful when you brush, be gentle.
Reply:My gums went crazy after my deep cleaning, as well. Gentle brushing and flossing, followed by a rinse with either antibacterial mouthwash or a salt-water solution should set you right in a couple of days. Maybe even rinse once or twice throughout the day. If your gums don't calm down or get worse, call your dentist, but mine told me pretty much to take care of them and wait it out. My gums went back to normal within three days of becoming inflamed.
Reply:I am a dentist and yes, yes, yes. You must floss daily! Your gums are red and bleed b/c you don't floss. Not flossing is like leaving a splinter stuck in your finger, it gets red and very sore. If you leave plaque and food in your gums they respond the same way, your body fights it off like foreign objects. Circular brushing is a thing of the past unless it is a highend electronic toothbrush. Brush at 45 degree angle with half of the brush on the tooth the other half brushing along the gum tissue. You MUST us a SOFT brush to do this and use back and forth strokes, no up and down or circles. Invest in a sonicare brush. Expensive, but $100 now and dental floss saves thousands in dental costs in the future. Also you have to get your teeth cleaned professionally at least 1 time a year, if not you will get cavities or gum disease, that is for about 90% of the people. The others are just lucky or take extremely good care of thier teeth.

Why do my gums hurt?
I recently have started taking the antiobiotics docycycline 100 mg and my gums have been hurting a lot. Its too painful to even floss and they bleed. I have never had problems with my gums in my life and I brush and floss daily. Could the antibiotics be the reason why my gums hurt?
Why do my gums hurt?
You need to see a doctor and a dentist. If you have a skin rash that's not going away, you need to see your doctor. About your gums... You are probably having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. You definitely need to see a dentist about that if your doctor doesn't know why your gums are bleeding and hurt. That is NOT normal, and is not healthy.
See a doctor RIGHT AWAY, please!
Good luck, hope the pain goes away!
Reply:Need more info here~
Why are you on doxy? Was it prescribed by your general practioner or your dentist? When was the last time you had a dental checkup with a thorough cleaning?
First I'd call whoever prescribed the doxy and let them know your symptoms, then possibly getting a dental appointment if it is dental-related.....
Sorry for the 'general' response, but more info would have helped!
Good luck with this.........
:)
Reply:Well, according to the manufacturer's information, it can cause glossitis, which is inflammation of the tongue, so it's not too much of a stretch to think it might affect the gums. One thing you might try is not taking it right at bedtime. But that drug is given for pretty serious infections, so don't discontinue it without talking to your doctor first. Definitely tell him about your gum problems, as there may be an alternative drug he can give you.
Reply:is because when you brush you dont brush your gums brush upto your gums and so you can feel the bristles on your gums they will bleed but dont worry about that
Reply:brush your jagged teeth

My gums became really swollen over night (I have braces)?
Last night when I went to bed my gums were a little swollen but they've been like that for ages my dentist suggested massaging it with the side of the tooth brush without bristles. Then this morning my gums were huge and stopping right at my braces. It wasn't from what the dentist said I know that much, and I brushed really good last night. but i admit i didn't floss. Is there anything to reduce the swelling or stop it from getting worse until i can get to the ortho (april 2nd)
My gums became really swollen over night (I have braces)?
Try rinsing your mouth with warm water and salt. Sometimes that helps with swelling (per my dentist). Call your Ortho immediately because something is not right and this is an emergency!!!!
Good Luck!
Reply:I would go ahead and call the orthodontist this week to make them aware of what's going on because they may want you to come in sooner.
Reply:This swelling does sound excessive. Are your gums hurting? usually if the flossing is the problem, you would experience some discomfort or perhaps some bleeding. Other possible causes are medications that you may be taking that can cause gingival hyperplasia. Seek advice from the orthodontist and be sure to tell him when it happened, and if it's painful.

What Are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease may progress painlessly, producing few obvious signs, even in the late stages of the disease. Although the symptoms of periodontal disease often are subtle, the condition is not entirely without warning signs. Certain symptoms may point to some form of the disease. They include:
Gums that bleed during and after tooth brushing
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
Receding gums
Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
Loose or shifting teeth
Changes in the way teeth fit together upon biting down, or in the fit of partial dentures.
You should definately go the dentist and have it check and looked at my husband had it and had to have all his teeth removed because her refused to go.. his dentures cost 5000 not included the surgery and the appointments.

Reply:How long since your last professional clean with a Hygienist?
Bleeding is usually a sign of Gingivitis (infection of the gums), to prevent it you should brush your teeth twice a day with a medium textured toothbrush, hold brush at a 45 degree angle into the gum margin and brush in a circular motion around all the teeth surfaces, inside outside and biting surface. You should also floss between all the teeth at least once a day to remove plague build up from between the teeth and just under the gum margin, its this build up that is more then likely causing your gums to bleed which is why you should visit the hygienist regularly to clean the gums because despite all the brushing and flossing you will inevitably get build up that you can't reach yourself. Hope this helps!
