Gingivitis, will the gums eaten away grow back if you kill the gingivitis?

Posted on March 7, 2011

I have a little gingivitis on my lower gums, if I use that "gum protection" tooth paste that kills gingivitis and mouth wash 2 times a day, will my gums that are gone grow back? Thanks

How can I reverse bleeding gums until I get dental coverage?

Posted on March 5, 2011

I currently experience some gum bleeding almost every time I brush. I normally brush twice a day, but I have increased the amount/duration of brushing in an effort to keep my mouth clean and kill the gingivitis. I usually use listerine immediately after brushing. I also have a bottle of Chlorhexidine (not sure of the spelling) which was prescribed to me about a year and a half ago when my wisdom teeth were breaking through. The expiration date has passed, so I am reluctant to use it. Is the expiration date on Chlorhexidine important? My bottle says to discard after 4/11/06, but I was hoping that it would last longer.

Other things to consider:
- I currently have no dental insurance, but I expect to be insured when I graduate law school in 5/07, so I'd like to avoid having to go for now
- I have ordered a Sonicare e9000 electric brush, hopefully this will help matters
- I read some favorable reviews of the Oral-B Hummingbird electric flosser. Is it any good?

Is Listerine good for receding gums?

Posted on March 3, 2011

I have receding gums, and have been using Listerine mouth wash. However, there is some burning sensation involved because it's alcohol base. Will it make it worst for receding gums? I've read the label on other mouth wash, like ACT but it doesn't say it prevents/reduce gingivitis like Listerine.

Have you had gum recession from debridement treatment?

Posted on March 2, 2011

I am having debridement done to treat my gingivitis through a periodontist. He says there'll be some gum recession/shrinkage in the area's where he will do the treatment. I'm freaking out.

Has anyone had this done and was the recession obvious? I don't want to look 'long in the tooth'!

Do I still have gingivitis?

Posted on March 2, 2011

I had bad gingivitis for months and finally went to the dentist - he gave a thorough cleaning and my gums stopped bleeding for a couple days.
I floss and brush as he told me to, but it's been two weeks now and one spot in my gums still bleeds when I brush. He said it would be normal for a week and that it would stop on its own, but it's not really getting better.
I'm using listerine for plaque and gingivitis as well as a better grade tooth paste.
Will it take even longer than I thought to go away or should I go back to the dentist?
