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).

Love to kiss my friend but he has bad breath…I chew gum to mask the taste for me and he never takes it when I offer him some…any kind ideas?

I can feel a couple of my bottom front teeth slightly loose (can barely tell unless im really looking) with some gum seperation…i can not afford a dentist for another 6 months..i have been using listerine and the new crest toothpaste along with flossing and electric toothbrush…will my gums get better on their own? is there more i can do besides this?? im not in any pain..just concerned…never even had a cavity!!
sorry…my gums do not hurt, i can feel them and no..they do not bleed..

i do not have a dentist appointment until april. but my breath really stinks. i brush,floss and use mouthwash 2 a day. and use mouthwash after lunch at work. but my breath still stinks, does anyone know any ways i can hide my bad breath? i been eating gum, but that only helps so much.

My teeth are feeling very sensitive lately and the only thing I have been doing regularly is chewing 5 gum. I get my teeth cleaned every 6 mo. and I just went and have no cavities. My teeth are cold and heat sensitive right now.

Im not sure if i have a new wisdom tooth trying to come through on the lower right of my mouth, or, if it is the one i already have at the top rubbing on the gum – but either way its causing me no end of pain!

Ive been putting Jack Daniels on it, taking paracetamol and drinking coffee – but nothing seems to really help!

Does anyone have a miracle cure to stop it from hurting so much – apart from going to the dentist because i’m not registered at one and i cant afford to visit!

Im dating this guy who awesome but lately he seems to ALWAYS have stinky breath. He goes to kiss me and i have to turn away trying to NOT offend him. I always chew gum and brush when i know im going to be around him. I think it common courtesy. I dont know how to tell him without making him feel really bad. Please help!!!

Also
1) How many times a day are you supposed to floss, brush, and mouthwash?
2) What gum is best for bad breath? (brands)

I have an upper denture, and wish I had a solution to the bad breath/dry mouth problem. Gum or candy helps, but I am sometimes at places (like schools) where I’m not able or allowed to just suck on those whenever I want.

The substance is soft, off-white, located near and under my gumline and occurs only on a few teeth. When using a gum stimulator, a device with a pointed tip, I can go close to the gumline or under the gumline and scrape this stuff off.

I’ve tried finding answers online. Is this bad or good to scrape off? I also have receding gums. Is this material connective tissue or connective fibers left over as the gums start to recede? Does scraping this off prevent gums from reattaching to the teeth?

Or is this material plaque-like substance that is necessary to remove before it forms into other harmful substances, e.g. plaque?

I just got back from the dentist where I got my first tooth implant. I am not really happy, the preliminary tooth looks fine but I’m concerned about that very detailed I can see the pre-formed post shining through my gum. To me it looks like I have a brown ring under my gum. Everybody tells me that this will go away and it looks like this right now because it was done 2 hours ago. The gum will rebuild and then everything will look fine. I’m really desperate!

I am about to have my wisdom teeth removed because one is partially impacted and another is partially erupted with the gum grown over it. I am slightly concerned about pain afterwards because honestly my threshold is pretty low. Does the Dentist/Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon usually prescribe enough medications for only the first 24 hours or for a few days. Thanks.

About two months ago I hurt my gum while brushing.And started experiencing inflammation,severe toothaches and my gums also began to bleed and everyday it gets worse and worse. I don’t have insurance or money to go to the dentist. And I wanted to know how to treat it at home or if there’s any over the counter medicine I can buy to treat it.

When you extract a teeth, how long do you wait for put an implant in?
Do you have to wait until the hole in your gum closes, or you have to do it right away?
Because I need a teeth implant and its been over a week and the hole is starting to close up.

im the twwelve year old girl by the uhm like on one mollar my gum is pink (normally) then thers red and on my mollor it look like plaque but even when i brush it doesnt go away

if its just on a mollar and i just noticed can i do sumthing for it to go away and to prevent it from hapening to my other teeth ?

Hi I have noticed for a while now that the gumline on my right canine has receded a little. I am 19 and I have never had cavities, root canals, or any serious gum or tooth problems in my life. I wear a retainer off and on, although i suspect that it might not be as symmetrical as it should be. Any ideas?

I had my molar, the one next to my wisdom tooth removed five days ago. It was extracted due to unsubsiding pain after I’ve had taken a lot of different medicines.Before the extraction they had my teeth x-rayed and saw that my wisdom tooth is soon to erupt from the gum but unfortunately it cannot because my molar is blocking it.It was an impacted wisdom tooth(but not in a very bad condition).Now,after my molar was extracted,the gum where my wisdom is,started to swell.I developed a clot but half of it now is gone because the gum was stretched when it swell.I am experiencing pain in the area but not much.It comes & goes just like lightning.Is it normal?Or i may develop dry socket?Please help.. this is really bothering me considering this is my first tooth extraction ever..Thanks a lot!

The gumline on my front teeth is receding despite me brushing twice a day with antibacterial mouthwash. The gum has dropped low across a tooth that i worry will fall out in the near future due to this. I don’t have a dentist at the moment because A. I can’t afford dental care B. i hate going to dentists… What do I do if this tooth falls out?

I recently had root canal therapy and a temporary crown placed. The gum around the tooth is now puffy and receded to the point that portions of my jaw bone can be seen. Should I make an appointment for reevaluation? What could be causing this?

Her other gum is pink, only the swollen parts are red. Also some of her teeth are not stable (it can move a bit when you try to move it).

A few weeks ago I noticed that my gumline above one tooth was receding. I went to a dentist, she did some filling on the side of the tooth, I forgot what its called, and she sent me on my way. I wasn’t too satisfied with her, so I went to another dentist and she told me that my bite pattern was causing that tooth to move slightly so the gum was receding because of that. That tooth is now sensitive since the root is getting exposed. Brushing my teeth makes it tingle if I hit it right at the gumline and it is sensitive when eating. The last dentist I went to gave me a pretty thorough cleaning and I have been brushing 3 times a day (with a brand new soft toothbrush), flossing daily, and using Crest Pro Health (Listerine drys my mouth too much). This week I started rinsing my mouth 3 times a day with diluted hydrogen peroxide. I’m due to go back for a filling in a few days.

What else can I do to treat my gum? I don’t want to lose the tooth, I’m only 24!

Thank you

I’ve had bad breath my whole life. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss twice a day, use mouthwash twice a day, and chew mint gum, and my breath still stinks.

In my early twenties, I got two teeth at the front of my mouth pulled. Since then, the gum has healed. I’m wondering if it is too late to get implants to replace my missing teeth. Any thoughts?

I have bad odar breath everyday i dont know why. I brush my teeth 3 times, my gum, my, tongue, and my teeth, it helps alittle but then the smell just comes back. Please help. And i never talk in school cause of it or anywhere. Please help me thank you

I am 8 weeks pregnant and my husband is always telling me to get some gum. Is bad breath a symptom of being pregnant?
