teeth and gum problems what are the symptoms ?
my sister has all of her adult teeth.Anyways she has had problems with her gums lately like her gums are swollen.She says it feels like having a cavity or having sensitive teeth.It goes on and off every 30 minutes or so.It gets worse each pain,ore gel used to help now she says it still feels like the pains are there.We have looked up gingivitis and abscess but it is niether,what is it?
Gingivitis? Inflamed gum from popcorn?
I probably dont brush my teeth as often as I should. When I do I usually get a little bleeding and redness around the base of my teeth. Usually if I start brushing much more often it eventually goes away.
Anyway, I ate some popcorn last night and got a piece stuck in my gum. I got it out with my tongue, but today it feels a bit red, inflamed and tender where the popcorn was. It doesn't hurt that bad, but I am a hypochondriac and worry. Is this gingivitis or a more serious infection?
Do I need to go to the doctor (I have my teeth cleaned regularily and the dentist just mentions that I need to brush more and that is why my gums bleed but has never really mentioned periodontis or anything) or will brushing and using Listerine take care of it on its own? How do you tell the difference between gingivitis and something more serious like an abscess?

Dental abscesses. Need help with how dangerous this is please!?
I lost a huge filling on my farthest top back tooth. It had a root canal 7 years ago. When I lost the filling a few months ago, it didn't hurt, until the past few weeks. I can feel the little screw in there from the work that was done before..Food is getting caught in that 1 tooth. I now have to pick it out (sorry that is GROSS, but it's necessary).
The dentist at the time told me I had several abscesses beginning to form. Hot and cold food absolutely kills me now on my left side.
Also 1 or 2 of the farthest back bottom teeth have some type of abscess too. I believe they all had root canals, but I'm not positive.
I am on disability and I did not and do not have the money to fix this problem. It was never painful before, but now I am close to being in agony and I am eating Advil and Tylenol with Codeine to try and keep the pain at bay. It's not working, but it's better than nothing.
My friend told me if I didn't take care of it...I could die from sepsis from the abscesses. I have not been feeling well and now my jaw feels hot and it's getting harder to chew or put anything hot or cold in my mouth as the pain is unbearable if I do.
I know I must see a dentist, the money is the problem.
Is it true I could die from leaving the abscess too long? I'm terrified I will lose my teeth. I also have tiny abscesses on the other side too (the dentist told me that about 7 months ago).
All of these abscesses started after I had all my mercury fillings taken out and the dentist at the time, knew I had an acidity problem.but I spent thousands of dollars to get my whole mouth fixed. My new dentist said it was wrong for that dentist to have put the white fillings in because there is erosion at the gumline which he feels has started the infections.
I live in Canada. I don't know what to do as I am sure this will cost several thousands of dollars again.The pain is getting much worse, I'm afraid I could die, afraid I'll lose my teeth (I do take care of them other than this).
Can I die from this or is it just that it's painful and I have to deal with the pain until I get enough money?
My jawbone itself is beginning to be very painful and it's hard for me to even open my mouth or move my jaw back and forth. It almost feels like I have a fever in my jawbone, as weird as that may sound. The pain has just started to shoot down from my jaw down through my glands in my throat on the same side as the abscesses.
If you are a professional, can you please help me to know just how serious this is? Is it just pain or an infection that can cause me great harm?
Thank you very much for your advise.

COMPLICATED dental problems, what are my options, can I keep my teeth?!?
Good dental practices thruout childhood,brushed daily, floss rarely though, at age of 14 started smoking ciggs, developed insane addiction to MT DEW,dabbled in some drug use (weekend recreational f(meth) for approx 1 yr) until became preg at 16. Then again at 18. Wisdom teeth came, to dentist 1st time since 14, was told I had "severe" plaque and I think some pretty major cavities, maybe mild gum disease (cant remember, had bleeding gums then, not now). Wisdom teeth out age 19-20-dry socket, finally healed. About 3 yrs ago went to see dentist for pain again and a "crumbling" tooth in the back. Was told I had severe bone loss d/t periodontal disease,had the teeth (Jaw?)of a 65 year old at 25. Resolved that acute issue and no more dentist. Now-my teeth are loose! (im 28) large gaps between them developing, DEEP pockets in gums, makes it painful to eat. Went to dentist 1week ago, 3 abscess teeth in back ,need root canals if I dont pull them. Intermittent sharp pain to my right side.
