Question about gum disease?
I am 33 years old, and I think I'm losing my teeth.
I brush, floss, and use mouthwash twice a day, every day, religiously, yet my gums look very bad. They are extremely receded and now I am feeling like my teeth are "shifting." I don't understand what's going on. How can someone who is so persistant about good oral health have this problem? Could this be hereditary? I know my family has a lot of tooth issues. My concern is that I don't want to have my teeth pulled. I think I'm way too young for that.
Here's my main question: Are my teeth salvagable even though they are feeling like they are getting loose or shifting? I know implants are outrageously expensive and I don't want teeth I can remove (aka dentures). Any info on teeth and gum issues here would be helpful. Thanks
what is this yelowish white chunky stuff that i keep getting on the back side of my mouth the last two morning
It really stinks to and i can scrape it off with tweezers. i normally have good oral health. in the morning i can feel it with the back of my tounge and its just a little yellowish white chunk on the back side wall of my throat and mouth area.

Should dermatoligists do check ups on general health before offering medications for acne?
I ask this because with such dangerous drugs like Accutane and loads of antibiotics that do more damage then good, I believe it should be required to see what might be going on in other parts of your body that is making your skin unable to regulate common bacteria thus enabling the developmentacne legions.
I say this because i have battled acne for the last 5 years, terribly the last two. My problem? Lack of dental hygiene. I never flossed a day in my life, and would brush only sporadically daily.
As soon, and I mean the very next day, as I visited a dentist and had an uber cleaning, I literally woke up the next day, and this is even after I put finger to face and brought world war three on the latest globby whiteheads, the next mornign I woke up with ZERO new lesion. I had at this point became used to making my way to the bathroom every morning to see what new buildups and pimples where now there. A week later, and my face is the clearest it's been in years and I couldn't be more thrilled.
My point is, I believe acne is allowed to check in if your bodies' immunde defenses are busy waging war elsewhere in the body. In my case it was my body fighting the stuff eating away at my gums. I swear I will never go a day without 3x brushing sessions, flossing flouride mouthwash and the waterpick. Good oral health, by the way, combats everything from cancers to heart disease,
Dermatologists would ensure their patients health by inquiring about what's going on the body instead of looking at the damage cystic acne can wreak and prescribing medications that only further disrupt immune activity. This is serious am I wrong? The vast numbers of those with unfortunate oral care regimans compare to the vast numbers of acne suffers, and I don't believe it's a coincidence.
