Are some people more prone to plaque build-up on their teeth?
I went to a new dentist today (I moved four years ago and hadn't arranged for a new dentist until now), and the dentist began lecturing me on how to properly brush and floss, as he said I had what looked like several days worth of plaque near my gum line on my side/back teeth, and a tiny area on one bottom tooth that might turn into a cavity (so I have to have it sealed). He also told me the gums in these same side/back areas looked slightly irritated (I hadn't noticed any discomfort before but he did a great deal of scraping near the gum line and it still hurts). He went on about how if I didn't start brushing/flossing properly then the plaque build-up could eventually turn into some serious problems causing my teeth to begin crumbling/decaying. I scheduled my cleaning (this was just a new patient exam) and was almost crying when I left (I had asked if I was extremely careful if I could avoid having these potential problems and he seemed very gloomy saying "well if you're absolutely religious and change your habits then you might be able to prevent 99% of the problems").
The problem is, I have always been extremely careful about brushing well with an electric toothbrush after meals, and flossing at least 1-2 times a day. I've never had cavities of any kind, and at all of my twice yearly cleanings at other dentists (I'm 24 years old, my last dental exam/cleaning was 4 years ago), they've always commented on how excellent my teeth are.
My question is: is it possible that something has changed (my eating habits/hygiene haven't) to make me suddenly more prone to plaque building up? I asked the dentist if something else could be causing the problem (telling him that I'm very careful about my oral hygiene and have never been told I have problems with plaque before), but he was adamant that I just "must not be brushing and flossing as well as you think". If I thought this was the real reason I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it just seemed extremely odd; I would have thought if I had been doing these things ineffectively for the past 18-20 years, and if those habits were the culprit, that I would have shown signs of this much earlier in life, rather than just now. I don't deny there is some issue now (I just never noticed in the past 4 years) but I'm afraid that if I'm already doing things right that the problem isn't what the dentist is insisting it is. For the time being (I have 3 weeks until my appointment) I've decided to use a waterpik, and a Sonicare toothbrush to try and be extra careful with my teeth. But is it possible that something else is wrong? Or is it perhaps just because I haven't had a really deep cleaning at a dentist in 4 years? I'm extremely nervous now because I felt as though the dentist didn't believe me when I said I did brush/floss, and it made me afraid that something could be wrong and they won't catch it because they just believe I don't know how to brush my teeth.
I apologize for sounding extremely paranoid, but my mother has horrible teeth problems because her family couldn't afford dental work when she was little, and I'm terrified of having anything similar happen.
do teeth gross you out?
bad teeth gross me out!
i will stop having a conversation with you if you have gross, spaced out, dingy teeth!
i feel like a b*tch but i always stare at peoples teeth when they speak to me, even my best friends who have nice teeth! i think i have OCD.
anyone else obsessed with checking out others oral hygiene!?
heres a picture of my teeth to all the mean people out there.
of course i have perfect teeth!
Are some people more prone to gum disease than others? ?
My husband and l have the same oral hygiene. Brushing twice a day, same diet. So why do l have early stages of gingivitis and he has healthy gums?
He doesn't' even floss or use mouthwash,just wondering.
How can I quickly get rid of mild gingivitis?
I just noticed that on a few of my lower teeth, my gums are slightly receding. They are also a little swollen. I haven't seen a dentist in about a year, but I just made an appointment. I see him in two weeks. What can I do to minimize or eliminate my gingivitis before I have to see the dentist? I am a little embarrassed and I don't want the dentist to think that I don't care about my oral hygiene.
I have been brushing 4 times a day and flossing twice a day for the last 4 days. Will my teeth improve by the time I see the dentist? Will brushing very hard help, or will it just irritate my gums more?
Thank you.
Help! Do I have gingivitis/gum disease (pics included)?
Okay, I'd just like to start off by saying that I've been brushing twice a day, flossing once or twice a day, and using antiseptic mouthwash daily. However, recently I've discovered a few days ago that I had not been flossing the back my third upper right molar (I assumed that my gum was covering the crown, like my lower rearmost molars).
I have been a bit more meticulous about my flossing and have paid special attention to that particular spot of my mouth, and a few days later I started bleeding and feeling pain during my flossing and brushing. Here are some pictures of that area:

Now, I've done some a bit of reading about gingivitis and gum disease, and I've been really scared to see that I've matched up with a couple of the symptoms: bleeding, soft gums that are painless except when pressure is applied, slightly redder hue in comparison to the rest of the gum. However, I've looked at images of mouths with gingivitis, but mine didn't really bear a whole lot of resemblance to them. In fact, it looks kind of like a canker sore or mouth ulcer placed beside a tooth.
It's been a few days now, and I've been intensifying my oral hygiene efforts, but the situation has not diminished. I'm scheduled for a dentist appointment next month, but I'm afraid that if I don't act quickly I might descend into a more serious condition.
Do I have gingivitis or some other gum disease? What should I do to alleviate it? Is it possible that my brushing/flossing/mouthrinse might be exacerbating the problem? Should I be really concerned?
