What is going on with my gums/teeth?

Posted on September 10, 2010

Just a few months ago, I noticed that my bottom, front, right tooth was losing the gum that surrounded it. It started building up plaque and I had to start brushing my teeth 3 times a day. Now, the spot that the gum was supporting the tooth, is exposing the tooth and now I see a black spot at the bottom of the tooth. Its so bad that im pretty sure that the bottom of the tooth is less than a centimeter away from the gum. I can take dental floss and literally go under the tooth. Please help me. This is the first thing I find on my teeth. I've never had a cavity or anything and im worried. Does anyone know what this may be?
Thanks guys. I really wasnt going because I have no insurance. But im definately goig to look around a.s.a.p.

How can you get rid of tonsil stones for good?

Posted on September 10, 2010

I have this tiny small ball(sulfur bacteria) which i cant get out of my right tonsil. Its just been stuck there. If I try to get it out or scratch it with my finger, its going to bleed. I tried using a Q-tip and it didn't work. I felt it with my finger. I tried using a toothbrush and it doesn't work. What should I do?

What is this brown spot on my tooth?

Brown streak on front tooth?
So I recently noticed that there was a discoloration on one of my front teeth. It feels a bit rough as though there is plaque on it. It's a little streak on the side of my tooth. It feels sensitive too. I have grooves on my front teeth ever since I can remember and it's on on of those grooves. (If that makes sense?) I am really starting to get concerned because today my sister pointed it out and said it could be a cavity or plaque. Please help me. What could it be? I used to have braces and my mom said it could be the glue that just never went away and now there is build up.

Before my sister pointing out that there was a stain, I felt no sensitivity. Maybe it's psychological?
