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?

Dentist:is this a okay dental regime?

Posted on February 18, 2011

I would like it if a dentist could preferably help me here? Well, I am 13 and I have always kind of "obsessed" over my teeth. I had my braces taken out at new year and my teeth are perfectly straight and white. No stains or nothing. My dentist said my teeth are one of the whitest shades you can get, so there is no point in whitening them. It wont really make a difference, so I'm wasting my money.People say I am too obsessed my teeth are perfect, but I just love white straight teeth. Ok so anyway, I was wondering if I maybe brush too much? This is my regime:
Night~
I use Colgate Anti-Tartar Plus Whitening*
I brush my teeth with my electric toothbrush (Oral-B) for 3-4 minutes, if i only do it for 2 i feel like they aren't clean. And i rinse
Then i use a normal toothbrush and brush my teeth again for around a minute. Rinse
Then i floss all spaces between my teeth and the very back ones. I can't do my front six or bottom because i have a wire behind them which is coming off in march. then i rinse my teeth for any remaining plaque.
Then i use Listerine's Total Care Clean Mint mouthwash.
Morning~
Basically the same as above i just miss out the flossing i do that every night.
I brush my teeth twice a day and i eat chewing gum throughout the day as I am at school.
i was wondering if maybe this is too much and i am brushing away my enamel? And also, any recomendations to a good whitening toothpaste that also removes any plaque? I am very interested in dental stuff and I am planning on becoming one when i am older. Thanks for reading x
Also, at the bottom of my front four teeth and bottom four teeth they are slightly clear. I know it's not a very big thing, but should i worry about it? because it is ever so slightly clear and i have jagged bits but i know they will wear down in time. Thanks again! x

can Electric / Battery Powered Toothbrushes harm your teeth?

Posted on February 4, 2011

this may be a dumb question but humor me.........

i just bought a battery powered toothbrush at walmart ( oral b )

and i am probably just not use to it as it is the first one like it i have ever owned BUT........

i have a couple teeth with fillings, and the toothbrush feels like sticking a fan blade in my mouth, lol

it doesn't hurt, no pain at all, just weird, bbrrrrrrrrrr!!, lol

could that irritate my teeth, or maybe a cavity if i had one?

lastly, are such toothbrushes better than manual ones?

Best Drugstore Teeth Whitener?

Posted on January 31, 2011

I just moved from Seattle and it's time for me to whiten my teeth again. Now, where I used to live I was fortunate to find teeth whitener strips that were way thicker than the flimsy Crest WhiteStrips. They were almost like mini waxy/rubber trays that you placed on your teeth and there were cutouts for the back of your teeth that you folded over to whiten the backs. I think it was Oral B - Rembrandt Premium Whitening Strips but I can't find them anywhere!

Does anyone know of any great teeth whitening strips that will improve it more than 2 freakin' shades?
