Are my teeth and gums gonna be fine?!
My dentist said I have advanced gingivitis. My teeth are kinda loose, my gums are receding, and my gums are bleeding when I brush my teeth. She prescribed my prevident, gave me a mouthwash and told me to use colgate. My gums or teeth never hurt. After about two days using those stuff, my gums stopped bleeding. Are my gums gonna grow back? I don't want my teeth to fall out! I'm scared!
Hi,
Did your dentist clean your teeth? You need a thorough cleaning done.
It's very important that you do a proper oral hygiene program at home. That should consist of brushing for at least two minutes, twice daily and flossing at least once daily. You should also be seeing your dentist every three months for a professional cleaning.
Gum recession occurs when there is bone loss around the teeth themselves. Gum tissue must have bone to adhere to so there is no way it can regrow itself. Your gums will follow the bone loss. There is a surgical procedure called a gum tissue replacement that can be done with limited success.
Otherwise all you can do is keep it from getting worse by good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Best to you,
Gellia
