gum disease?

what are the signs of gum diease?

On Saturday, I brushed my teeth in the morning before going out. Everytime I brush my teeth, my gums briefly bleed profusely, then stop after a few minutes. During the outing, I open-mouth kissed a guy. Now, I can’t stop thinking I have HIV. Is this likely? Should I get tested? I feel like I lost weight this morning and have a sore in my mouth that wasn’t there yesterday, too.

I bleed often when I brush and my gums seem a little red and inflamed. Will a 50/50 mix of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water help to reduce the inflammation and stop my gum bleeding? My teeth are also pretty sensitive to air or wind, and extreme temperatures (hot, cold).

what are the statistics of gum disease?

I once read that like one in 20 people don’t brush their teeth properly and have gum disease. Im just wondering how many people suffer from gum disease in the world what are the statistics?

Thanks for answering?

My symptoms are difficult to define, but include: shakyness or a type of tremor right when I wake up in the am, naucea, cold sweats. Can symptoms like this be related to gum disease or cavities?

Gum Disease?

I recently noticed that some of my teeth are loose (I have all of my permenent teeth) and today noticed that the gums on my bottom set of teeth look inflamed and are a little sore, but the gums on my top set of teeth are okay, they’re light pink. I am really afraid that I have gum disease, is their a way I could stop it like brushing my teeth more, from 2 times a day to 3, or using a new toothbrush (my toothbrush it only about a couple months old)?

Gum disease?

The last time I went to the dentist they said that if I didn’t start brushing really good that I could develop gum disease. Tomorrow is my next appointment and unfortunately I haven’t done that good of a job. For the past week or so I’ve been brushing my gums really good but they hurt a lot. Do I have to worry a bunch about it? Can it be reversed if I brush a lot more? What will they most likely do?

gum disease?

ok so i am convinced that i have gum disease

i am wondering that if i brush my teeth and gums, is it possible that my gums will heal back to how they were naturally? or will they at least stop erasing?

just as long as i can keep my gums safe enough to hold my teeth, i really do not want to lose them
