I want to use Crest Whitestips but my bottom teeth have immovable retainers on the tongue-side of the teeth. Do you think I should use the strips?

how to get rid of gingivitis?

Posted on March 17, 2011

Ive kinda taken care of it so far but now my bottom teeth that are in the front one tooth and the gum is starting to get a little bad it hurts to brush that one tooth. My other teeth quit hurting a few days after i started my little treatment but the pain for that one started back. Ive been using hydrogen peroxide with water after i brush and floss i do that at night. Then in the morning i brush and do m mouth wash with the peroxide. I think its finally going away kinda but i don't know what to do. I don't want to cause my parents more trouble or money. Can i take care of this at home or should i just give in and go to the dentist and how do i take care of this?

Do Aquafresh Whitening Trays work?

Posted on March 11, 2011

I have had my first one in for just about 15 minutes. So far so good comfort-wise. I pushed the gel up onto the top of my teeth too so I'm not worried about them being uneven. But do they work well? Are they really a big change after 3 days?

oh.. and if you could give me advice on one problem with them... some of the gel has slipped out of my tray on my bottom teeth. Is it okay to swallow?

I have gingivitis? How long does it take gingivitis to progress into Periodontits?

So the first sign that i started off with was bad breath. I would brush my teeth and within an hour it would come back, I tried gum, mouthwash!! it would all come back. I'd take naps waking up with the worst taste in my mouth.

I started using Crest PRO Health a few weeks ago & recently started flossing again. I always brush my teeth but i hardly ever floss...until i realized that i had this on going problem & my gums would bleed too! not too much. recently they've stopped bleeding.

-It doesn't hurt when i eat.
-My gums look pink and when i touch them they turn a little pale then go back to pink, and they don't hurt either.
-Less bleeding now.

-My teeth do feel loose all of a sudden about 4 days ago is when they started to click back and fourth when i'd put pressure on them with my tongue. I don't know if it might be because i don't floss right. It's only the front bottom teeth. I have an app on Wednesday!!! can't wait!

I've never had a cavities. Every time i'd go to the dentist my teeth were always in good shape i'm so disappointed in myself for letting it get to this point, definitely don't want my teeth to fall out i'm only 20! =[
I went in. Early gingivitis. My teeth are nowhere near falling out.

Really scared to go to the dentist?

Posted on March 7, 2011

Im scared that they will hurt me or pull my permanent teeth out. I have hardened plaque that covers my two front bottom teeth in the back.Im really scared. How do they remove it? Im scared that they will shove their tools down my gums or something..

One of my bottom front teeth is starting to discolor near the gumline…its not the same texture as the rest?

It doesn't really hurt, but if you look at it closely, its definitely noticeable. Is this gingivitis? My other bottom teeth aren't experiencing this problem. Can the dentist repair this tooth?
