I have all the symptoms of periodontitis, but my dentist says nothing wrong?
I have been having a problem with my bottom teeth ever since having my daughter, my gums are receding, theres tarter/plaque gathering at the base of the teeth, my teeth look elongated, i taste metal in my mouth, the gums are red and puffy. I did not know what this was until i went to the dentist. I showed her and asked what was wrong, and she said nothing is wrong, theres no bone loss so nothing to worry about.
However I was looking at posters in her office when I saw one on periodontitis (sorry if i spelled it wrong) and it looks exactly like what I have!
I dont like this dentist to begin with and have every intention of getting a second opinion.
But I have all these symptoms on my bottom teeth and im very worried. I'll be going to a dentist next week as this dentist did a surgery on my teeth today and I will not go back to her ever. What can I do for my teeth (i brush,floss and use mouthwash daily), and is she right? what should I do?!
Could this be nothing? they look very different from how they used to. What else could this be?
Thanks everyone
How does Diabetes hurt the skin? & what are the signs of Diabetes?
I read on the doctors wall where they have posters informing you of different diseases and they had one where diabetes can hurt your skin and said "Protect Your Skin" And I am just curious to know. How does diabetes hurt your skin? What would your skin look like when it is affected by diabetes?
My concern is because my mom know has Diabetes type 2 and I am concern for myself and not sure if I have the signs. No health insurance.

I am getting my braces off in 4 days and have some questions.?
I am getting my braces off in 4 days ( Friday, June 11th.) I want to know what it is like getting them off. What they do, is it painful, does it taste bad and what is it like afterwords. I really am excited I have had braces for about 18 months and have a lot of questions.
First of all I am afraid my teeth will NOT be white.
I never really took care of my teeth. Never brushed twice a day, only flossed when I needed to and so on. So once I got my braces on I started brushing a lot, flossing using mouth wash, fluoride etc.I never got complaints about needing to brush better ( unlike a lot of other people I have sen at the orthodontist office). On the walls they have posters of white spots on teeth from not brushing enough. Supposedly your teeth r white to start they but the brackets on u stop brushing,your teeth start to yellow. And when you go to get them off they have white spots from where the bracket was. I am afraid I will have the opposite effect. My teeth will be white with yellow center spots. Any ideas. I really want nice straight white teeth.
Do u have any recommendations for toothpastes for whiter teeth. What should I do once I get my braces off. And once they are off can I use whitening strips.
I just got my braces off I love my teeth they are straight and white. But I am really scared. I am not getting my retainer for 2 weeks. How much will my teeth move. I don't want my teeth 2 move.
