You mentioned taking a sample of the plaque and determining whether the bacteria is pathological. Very interesting - I was not aware bacteria testing could be done. So, maybe in a future release could you say how that testing is done (outside lab?) and how you treat if the test results are negative ... for those of us who try very hard to maintain proper care yet have ongoing problems.
I had gingivitis from never flossing my teeth.. I just went to the dentist and she taught me the proper way to floss and now I have no gum bleeding and no gingivitis! Woohoo!
I bet that's how mine started! I never floss and now think I have gingivitis. I'm going to start brushing and flossing more to see if it'll eliminate it.
Literally just said that to myself. Like these doctors/dentists want us to get sick and sicker so we can keep coming back. I've lost so much trust in doctors.
I just switched dentist for this reason! My old dentist never treated me for my bleeding gums and now I have gum disease. Luckily my new dentist not only set me up for the most effective treatments for me, but also educated me on what caused this and how to prevent it.
@@miliandealba5095 I went to see one yesterday and he just tell me have to see a gum specialist and after that come back to him for pulling not telling nothing stop the bleeding. he scared the shit out of me instead of give me some advice what I can do,I don't think of going back loll
@@leoash915 brush at least twice a day, including one before sleeping. Floss every day. This is important because the toothbrush cannot reach every part of the teeth so bacteria can build up and cause gum disease. Go to your dentist and get help from there as well.
Along with flossing, brush your entire your mouth, not just your teeth. Brushyour gums, your tongue (go as far back as you can and don't forget to brush underneath as well), the roof of your mouth and inner cheeks. You want to hit every nook and cranny as you can. It's also important to use a tongue scraper to sweep up all those germs that aid gingivitis too. I highly recommend using an electric toothbrush to accomplish this. They're far more productive than manual toothbrushes and most are timed, so it lets you know when to change quadrants. Mine cost $30 and has lasted about half a decade now. This step is optional, but you can further prevent gingivitis by using an ALCOHOL-FREE (alcohol dries the mouth which bad for the teeth and you don't need to feel the burn to know the germs are being killed) antiseptic mouthwash after brushing. Although it's a little pricey, I really like using Therabreath's healthy gums as my night mouthwash. It's primarily for treating gingivitis, but that means it helps prevent it as well. To put things in perspective how effective this is, I skipped seeing my dentist for a year (something I don't recommend, but finding time can be difficult) and the first time I went he told me this is the best he's ever seen my teeth and I've been going to his office for well over a decade. To recap: 1. Floss after every meal. 2. Brush your entire mouth using an electric toothbrush twice per day. 3. While not mandatory, it helps to rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash after brushing.
When I was 17 years old I was diagnosed with gingivitis and now I don't have it not cuz I started flossing and brushing my teeth with hot water does that help loosen up the calculus I had that caused me to have gingivitis which my gums used to bleed all the time and now it doesn't
But lot of harsh brushing is not good putting lot of pressure while brushing day after day is dangerous Instead brush slowly and gently. PROF KSK BELGAUM CITY KARNATAKA INDIA
I've been trying to keep flossing and brushing my teeth every day now, and my gums haven't bled in 2 months now. After watching these vids makes me want to keep everything up. My gums look a really healthy pink now.
Thank you so much Diane! I actually have patients who travel from all over the world to come to my office. Maybe one day I'll see you here in Michigan. 👋🏻
I feel like I’ve never been properly taught dental hygiene and I’ve never had good habits. I just looked at my gums and saw this visibly dark red part along the bottom of my gums. It scared the shit out of me and now I’m going to commit to brushing twice a day and flossing everyday. Thank you for the tips

@@arabwangxian7786 wish someone would say how to do it, but that would be next to impossible to do your own teeth how can you see your own mouth/teeth that good?
Thanks Dr. Nemeth. Simple and easily understandable information you have here. Great work by you and anyone who might be helping create and operate the RUclips channel
Oh thank you for explaining what gingivitis. I never truly understood what it is. It just mainly means that I have to treat my gums and teeth better by brushing and flossing more often. Maybe even use mouthwash.
I was a weed and nocotine addict for ten years. I have stopped 10 weeks now. Now I have gingivitis. I am going to have it looked at. Never noticed it until now. I hope with not smoking it will help my gum and tooth recover
I brush and floss daily and I began to get bleeding at my gum area by the root of the molars. So I got a bristle floss, wet it, and dip it in salt before using it. It burned like hell but, it sealed the bleeding problem like a champ. I still use this method daily and took care of the problem; It will take a few weeks but, very well worth it.
@@monsterboi2911 bro just use a normal floss, oral b Colgate whatever you can get. Don't dip it or salt it. Just use it as it is. Watch some clips on this on how to floss. Then floss daily.
I've been informed that I have mild gingivitis and a cleaning has been scheduled. I wasn't flossing as I should have. For gingivitis what type of cleaning is given? Is it a regular cleaning or deep scale? Can you tell if a patient has gingivitis by looking? The dental office I went to didn't take a sample.
Hygienist here, usually samples in general practitioners office are taken when none of the regular at home methods are working. In a specialist office they may take samples a lot more often. And yes I can definitely tell if someone has gingivitis right away as soon as they are in my chair. 'Deep Cleaning' is done to someone who has a lot of calculus buildup. If you go every 3-6 months, there shouldn't be enough for a deep cleaning.
Had a "deep clean" twice, using ultrasonic. The first time - it was pretty darn good, from a seasoned hygienist. The 2nd time was from the dentist himself, it was AWFUL, and I'm never going back to him. Fortunately I was able to track down the hygienist and will follow her to another office.
Some tips from the dentists I've seen over the years that I was previously unaware of: *Extremely important to brush last thing at night, before you got to bed (after the last thing you eat) if nothing else. *Replace used toothbrushes with new/fresh toothbrushes every three to four months (not six). *Avoid toothbrush cross contamination by keeping all toothbrushes from individual family members/roommates separate from each other. *Do not store the toothbrushes in an enclosed place because they need to airdry in order to kill bacteria; also throw travel toothbrushes away within a few days. *Store toothbrushes away from the toilette and bathtub/shower. *Keep 2 toothbrushes per person - one toothbrush to use in the morning and one at night - to make sure they each have 24 hours to dry properly in between uses which kills the bacteria. *Also, back teeth, especially wisdom teeth, need extra effort to clean behind them for which a tapered toothbrush head of a smaller size is helpful. *Using a saltwater rinse (1 teaspoon table salt to 8oz. of water) after dental hygiene routine helps fight against the acidic environment in your mouth (created by everything from food to even many dental hygiene products). *There is one of several brushing techniques that a dentist will recommend for individual mouths and their condition. *Carbonated drinks wreak havoc on your teeth, even carbonated water, so be cautious. *Dry mouth increases risks of tooth decay and gum disease (chewing gum and mints help mine, but you may need to consult a dentist in case it needs professional treatment). Apart from what I've learned from dentists, in my personal experience with gingivitis, I've found that dipping my wet toothbrush in a bit of baking soda before brushing (10 strokes each tooth, one to two times per day, in a wet mouth for comfort) helps reduce tartar buildup and inflammation (I follow up with a 0.05 fluoride rinse afterwards - it is not a mouthwash, it is simply a fluoride rinse without alcohol, as to not strip the mouth anymore). I've noticed that addressing my stomach and sinus issues also help my oral health. I also replace sugar (in coffee, tea, and wherever possible) with xylitol, as well as separately swishing with 2g xylitol dissolved in my mouth for 5 minutes (3 times per day) in between mealtimes, after my oral hygiene routine, and without snacking, especially last thing at night after my salt water rinse to help kill the bacteria that forms while we sleep. Good luck everybody!
Oddly enough I only had 2 bleeding gums(the rest are good) and so I started a routine and started following some of the steps here and my gums no longer bleed!!!
Gingivitis will seriously make you lose teeth. If you leave it too long even when it gets better, your teeth may be loosened for lact of a better term and come out piece by piece over the years.
Hygienist here, If you floss properly and frequently, they will stop bleeding and being sore. They bleed because the plaque is sitting around the gums causing inflammation!
When I was young my parent’s never enforced good dental hygiene on me and my sisters me being older now I’m really enforcing it on my sisters so they don’t make my mistakes
*My situation there’s a big gum taking over a tooth, almost & I have braces for 2 months now, the gum started a month ago & I was told to take care of it by antiseptic mouthwash(I used the blue one) & cleaned throughly as much as I can & Flossed at times but still floss at the end, still no improvement please help?*
I'm suffering from vertical gum recession of lower front teeth. Its becoming a trauma for me because instead of doing flossing, oil pulling, mouth wash & using sensodyne flouride tooth I am observing no change from 2 months but it is still increasing. Doctors are also not serious ... they are telling me that do not do gum grafting its not successful ... just take care and do precautionary measurement as much as possible to avoid affecting others teeths.... 😢
I'm 28 now & I feel that before 30 I will lost my front lower 2 teeths ... because there are empty pockets around them now...though I clean them regularly by flossing & brushing to avoid plaque...! But yeah my teeth are plaque catcher because I do scaling in a year but still I have to spend half an hour to remove new line of plaque formation around my teeth once in a week...! I did an x-ray & there is a little bone loss around that tooth...! Also, there is no bleeding in gums or swelling but yeah I feel sensitivity in my lower jaw gums & front lower teeth...! Doctors response is not positive which is disappointing & which makes me traumatized...!
I have had gingivits for 18 years I have gone to about 10 dentists complained about bleeding gums and they never told me any thing about gum disease. I have just been told by a new dentist that I have gum disease due to doing x rays. I was never said to lets look at your gums and or say lets test whats going on know its too late . Is flossing and oral health to late once you have it?
The doctor dentist said I don't have no cavities in fact he said I got beautiful teeth but the other lady said that I got gingivitis and gum disease but they want to charge me over $800 to get it fixed and I don't have that money right now so I'm pretty sad about that
I have a question on flossing. How deep should we not floss a tooth? There's an area where my gums bleed and I think if I just floss more deeper into the neck of my tooth, then I should be fine. But I have a concern whether I'll end up damaging my tooth or gum tissues more than I'm trying to clean and protect my tooth and gums. I would appreciate your feedback!
Yup you will. I wouldn't floss. I do a gentle oral pre rinse then massage gums with the toothbrush before doing teeth.i have 2 toothbrushes. One for am and one for pm not near each other. I give 12 hrs. To air-dry to remove germs that reinfect. I use regular Crest, Listerine and finish with ACT anticavity. No rinsing in between. Then I check my oral pH to check acidity level. If acidic I balance it with xylitol and stay off acidic foods
@@christineczyryca5820 are your 2 brushes different texture or same? Which brush do you use for and when? And can you explain more on how you massage the gums? If you don’t mind 😁 And how do you check your mouth’s acidity?
I have a broken teeth like lower cornar of my mouth it's a partially broken and it's never cause any problems for a year but food everytime stuck there .even I noticed after few months my gum started to grow in a stange way where the broken teeth was ...now it's too much sencitive and it's give s hell lot of pain I don't understand where it comming from the tooth or the gum ...what should I do now ? according to the station what do u suggest ? Yes I am going to see a doctor but any tips will be super helpful ...thanks
My hygienist told me to buy oral b gum care toothpaste (when I said I’ll buy sensodyne) I think I’ll go buy sensodyne as my gums hurt. Then floss and peroxyl mouthwash
Hi, I have a bit of sensitive teeth (just my bottom incisors) no sign of swelling, no more bleeding after I brush and floss regularly, no pain, only a faint red lining below my teeth. The rest of my teeth are doing fine but the bottom teeth are sensitive and three of them have this weird looking thin white tissue above the gum. I'm seriously worried because I'm still in my early teens and I want to find a solution to this problem. Any help or advice is appreciated, thank you.
I recently found out that I have a deep pocket (8 mm) at No. 31 and the x-ray showed that the bone is melting away. I have been going to dentist every 6 months for the last 25 years and my dentist always said I have no problem. I don’t understand how she could miss the pocket. I am extremely shocked. What kind of mouth rinse do you recommend? Should I get those electric tooth cleaner with a pointy device? Thank you.
Non-plaque induced gingivitis can be a bit more complicated to treat. I don't know of any proven home methods for doing so because it is very situational. I would reccommend visiting a periodontist in your area to get a professional opinion.
Meeting Dr Dagba on RUclips has really been one of the best day of my life after years of suffering I have been finally cured from Gingivitis, Thanks doc God bless you.
After watching this video, it makes me want to scrape my teeth for a sample and put it on a slide under a microscope! I'm so curious to see if anything nefarious is living in there!
I have this cavities tooth infection from childhood.. Now I'm 30. My tooth infection started when was around 10.. I dont have any symptoms like fever and others. But I remember my mouth became big and it was painful and smelly.. I didn't remember whether I was sent to the dentist.. Now I lose my tooth in that infected area... No symptoms but only pain in infected area.. What's happening to me...
I am also affect peridontal disease... I am from. India... My doctor said take 2 Amla and boil with water put little salt and grind and drnk every day it's control loss teeth....and take vitamin c and drumstick leave....it's prevention... after covid 19 u go to see doctor...
My gums are in agony.. And my hygenest made me pay £45 just to clean the bottom jaw.. The swelling and pain went away then a few months later all came back again right now 😭
can Periodontitis be reversed if court early ? I have been told I have lost some bone very small amount bone on the small upper left teeth but some left on the bigger teeth.
I’m struggling with that issue right now! What a pain! In fact to reduce the pain I went to search in what’s happening over there in this tiny places and I got here. Thanks for the advices and the knowledge.. 🙏😓
My dentist did a deep cleaning on the top part of my mouth because my gums were swollen. She said to massage my gums at homes with my fingers and rinse with warm water and salt. Does that help? I’m still sore. I won’t lie, I haven’t followed through with that .but I am going to do that.
My dentist replaced a gold crown that I had since I was 16. I am 47 now. When he replaced it he made it very big. I can get floss in between the teeth BUT he made the gold crown to long, it goes into my gums too deep. Food gets trapped in every cranny and my gums get swollen and it still bleeds. Even to use floss it bleeds. When my gums get irritated they all get white like your friend that says he just needs to brush more. But I do get lichen planus looking threads at the back of my mouth. I have 7 gold crowns in my mouth, maybe 3 with root canals. The VA* was scaling my teeth prior and giving chlorahexidine cos they said I had periodontal disease but periodontists outside the va* say no I do not kit. Now they say I have sarcoidosis after 10 years of ptsd given abilify.* Sunce the sarcoidosis lung nodule scare they have backed off with the drugs. Wondering if chlorahexidine allergies cause lichen planus symptoms. I was a soda pop drinker.
Hi Mr. Nemeth I have a question. After brushing my teeth, most of the time what I see is people then wash all that paste out with water. Is that wrong? There were some people saying it's best to just use a mouthwash right after as it helps the paste stick to the gums/teeth. Is that actually true? Thanks!
Can someone help me everytime i brush my teeth. After a few minutes my mouth smell bad breath this was began since my childhood days now i am adult. Still my problem exist and my confidence was very low due to this chronic problem
None of my gums are red or anything and no bone or support is gone but like i noticed when i brushed theres about 4 tiny spots on my top front teeth gums that make blood come out when i brush them
Brush them and floss it might hurt but do this for a week and use salt and water and swish it in mouth do this and if still there tell ur parents and go to ur dentist

It's definitely sad when most dentists and doctors are either ignorant of what's going on and/or going along with the corruption.
Oddly enough I only had 2 bleeding gums(the rest are good) and so I started a routine and started following some of the steps here and my gums no longer bleed!!!
Gingivitis will seriously make you lose teeth. If you leave it too long even when it gets better, your teeth may be loosened for lact of a better term and come out piece by piece over the years.
Wait what?! So it never really goes away?
@@artist2527 it does go away but the damage is done. It's the leading cause of tooth loss.
Whenever I floss , my gums bleed and are tender . Will that stop within time if I just keep flossing ?
Hygienist here, If you floss properly and frequently, they will stop bleeding and being sore. They bleed because the plaque is sitting around the gums causing inflammation!
Yes ,i have the same question,my gums are prone to bleeding,if I floos they will bleed more what should I do for this?
@@mamtapokharel5994 keep flossing ! they’ll stop bleeding after a while (:
@@lucy9500 thank you so much,didi it helped you?
@@mamtapokharel5994 it did ! Don't worry :)
When I was young my parent’s never enforced good dental hygiene on me and my sisters me being older now I’m really enforcing it on my sisters so they don’t make my mistakes
All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino. Many thanks
Very informative and useful information.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your informative video.
Dear doctor, Does a turmeric application on the gums help reduce gum inflammation?
Does grinding teeth is also the causes?
Who got gengivitis after braces

@@user-xo5zu8zm6x the pain has subsided but my gums are still swollen

Very informative! Thank you !
You are amazing! Thank you for all that you do
*My situation there’s a big gum taking over a tooth, almost & I have braces for 2 months now, the gum started a month ago & I was told to take care of it by antiseptic mouthwash(I used the blue one) & cleaned throughly as much as I can & Flossed at times but still floss at the end, still no improvement please help?*
I'm suffering from vertical gum recession of lower front teeth. Its becoming a trauma for me because instead of doing flossing, oil pulling, mouth wash & using sensodyne flouride tooth I am observing no change from 2 months but it is still increasing. Doctors are also not serious ... they are telling me that do not do gum grafting its not successful ... just take care and do precautionary measurement as much as possible to avoid affecting others teeths.... 😢
I'm 28 now & I feel that before 30 I will lost my front lower 2 teeths ... because there are empty pockets around them now...though I clean them regularly by flossing & brushing to avoid plaque...! But yeah my teeth are plaque catcher because I do scaling in a year but still I have to spend half an hour to remove new line of plaque formation around my teeth once in a week...! I did an x-ray & there is a little bone loss around that tooth...! Also, there is no bleeding in gums or swelling but yeah I feel sensitivity in my lower jaw gums & front lower teeth...! Doctors response is not positive which is disappointing & which makes me traumatized...!
Do you recommend mouth wash ?
So it hurts really bad to brush right now with my bleeding gums. I’ve flossed and brushed regularly and I had a dental cleaning less than 6 months ago
I have had gingivits for 18 years I have gone to about 10 dentists complained about bleeding gums and they never told me any thing about gum disease. I have just been told by a new dentist that I have gum disease due to doing x rays. I was never said to lets look at your gums and or say lets test whats going on know its too late . Is flossing and oral health to late once you have it?
Yes so true my dentist also never told me these
Really?
How does plaque attack the roots then?? Before anything else?
The doctor dentist said I don't have no cavities in fact he said I got beautiful teeth but the other lady said that I got gingivitis and gum disease but they want to charge me over $800 to get it fixed and I don't have that money right now so I'm pretty sad about that
I have a question on flossing. How deep should we not floss a tooth? There's an area where my gums bleed and I think if I just floss more deeper into the neck of my tooth, then I should be fine. But I have a concern whether I'll end up damaging my tooth or gum tissues more than I'm trying to clean and protect my tooth and gums. I would appreciate your feedback!
Yup you will. I wouldn't floss. I do a gentle oral pre rinse then massage gums with the toothbrush before doing teeth.i have 2 toothbrushes. One for am and one for pm not near each other. I give 12 hrs. To air-dry to remove germs that reinfect. I use regular Crest, Listerine and finish with ACT anticavity. No rinsing in between. Then I check my oral pH to check acidity level. If acidic I balance it with xylitol and stay off acidic foods
@@christineczyryca5820 are your 2 brushes different texture or same? Which brush do you use for and when? And can you explain more on how you massage the gums? If you don’t mind 😁
And how do you check your mouth’s acidity?
Awesome channel!!
I have a broken teeth like lower cornar of my mouth it's a partially broken and it's never cause any problems for a year but food everytime stuck there .even I noticed after few months my gum started to grow in a stange way where the broken teeth was ...now it's too much sencitive and it's give s hell lot of pain I don't understand where it comming from the tooth or the gum ...what should I do now ?
according to the station what do u suggest ? Yes I am going to see a doctor but any tips will be super helpful ...thanks
You could rinse with warm salt water
I was an engraver in the navy long ago but I worked in shops surrounded by all trades with all kind of fumes.
What do we do if the gums are itching . Thank you sir
Floss them vigorously!
It’s also good to get a “deep clean”
Do you agree dental insurance is severly lacking in this country?
I just got braces off and the entire bottom row of gums is bleeding
I am so sorry to hear that! Have you talked to your orthodontist about the bleeding?
Use warm water with sea salt mix=soothes your gums, and helps bleeding gums too
My hygienist told me to buy oral b gum care toothpaste (when I said I’ll buy sensodyne) I think I’ll go buy sensodyne as my gums hurt.
Then floss and peroxyl mouthwash
Where are u located
Question: What recommendations can you make if we want to become a dentist?
Thank you doctor ❤️
Hi, I have a bit of sensitive teeth (just my bottom incisors) no sign of swelling, no more bleeding after I brush and floss regularly, no pain, only a faint red lining below my teeth. The rest of my teeth are doing fine but the bottom teeth are sensitive and three of them have this weird looking thin white tissue above the gum. I'm seriously worried because I'm still in my early teens and I want to find a solution to this problem. Any help or advice is appreciated, thank you.
Does periodontis make gums bleed as well or is it only gingivitis?
Yes
What products do we use and what order of floss brushing mouthwash
You are a good doctor thank you so much God bless you
I recently found out that I have a deep pocket (8 mm) at No. 31 and the x-ray showed that the bone is melting away. I have been going to dentist every 6 months for the last 25 years and my dentist always said I have no problem. I don’t understand how she could miss the pocket. I am extremely shocked. What kind of mouth rinse do you recommend? Should I get those electric tooth cleaner with a pointy device? Thank you.
How older you?
How do you get rid of non-plaque gingivitis.
Non-plaque induced gingivitis can be a bit more complicated to treat. I don't know of any proven home methods for doing so because it is very situational. I would reccommend visiting a periodontist in your area to get a professional opinion.
Should I replace the head on my electric toothbrush and use a gentle mode?
Meeting Dr Dagba on RUclips has really been one of the best day of my life after years of suffering I have been finally cured from Gingivitis, Thanks doc God bless you.
I've been diagnosed with gingivitis around my crown, my dentist was t much help, he said there nothing you can do, only rinse with a mouth wash?😮
How much to do it
After watching this video, it makes me want to scrape my teeth for a sample and put it on a slide under a microscope! I'm so curious to see if anything nefarious is living in there!
Thank you doctor! New suscriber :)
Do hygienists deal with gingivitis or dentists
I have this cavities tooth infection from childhood.. Now I'm 30. My tooth infection started when was around 10.. I dont have any symptoms like fever and others. But I remember my mouth became big and it was painful and smelly.. I didn't remember whether I was sent to the dentist.. Now I lose my tooth in that infected area... No symptoms but only pain in infected area.. What's happening to me...
I am also affect peridontal disease... I am from. India... My doctor said take 2 Amla and boil with water put little salt and grind and drnk every day it's control loss teeth....and take vitamin c and drumstick leave....it's prevention... after covid 19 u go to see doctor...
My gums are in agony.. And my hygenest made me pay £45 just to clean the bottom jaw.. The swelling and pain went away then a few months later all came back again right now 😭
can Periodontitis be reversed if court early ? I have been told I have lost some bone very small amount bone on the small upper left teeth but some left on the bigger teeth.
I’m struggling with that issue right now! What a pain! In fact to reduce the pain I went to search in what’s happening over there in this tiny places and I got here. Thanks for the advices and the knowledge.. 🙏😓
Hey I’m scared I just happen to me 2 weeks ago or 3 😭
My wisdom gum is really swelling any help .my left side
thanks Dr. Joseph this was very helpful !
How do I floss the top back of my teeth
You mentioned sample of plaque to find what cause… i went to periodontist and he told me i need a surgeries because of deep pockets.
Hi doc should i take antibiotics to cure my gingivitis?it so painful😞
Did u ever take meds?
Taking samples of plaque is good point.
How long does it take to get the gems healthy??
I have gingivitis and I haven’t been brushing because lack of motivation. it’s gotten so red and it really hurts and I’m scared to brush
My dentist did a deep cleaning on the top part of my mouth because my gums were swollen. She said to massage my gums at homes with my fingers and rinse with warm water and salt. Does that help? I’m still sore. I won’t lie, I haven’t followed through with that .but I am going to do that.
Did you ever end up doing it? And if so, did it help?
I have constant bad breath even after brushing and flossing. Whaf do u reccomend at this point doctor?
I wish I have a dentist like this. 😍
My dentist replaced a gold crown that I had since I was 16. I am 47 now. When he replaced it he made it very big. I can get floss in between the teeth BUT he made the gold crown to long, it goes into my gums too deep. Food gets trapped in every cranny and my gums get swollen and it still bleeds. Even to use floss it bleeds. When my gums get irritated they all get white like your friend that says he just needs to brush more. But I do get lichen planus looking threads at the back of my mouth. I have 7 gold crowns in my mouth, maybe 3 with root canals. The VA* was scaling my teeth prior and giving chlorahexidine cos they said I had periodontal disease but periodontists outside the va* say no I do not kit. Now they say I have sarcoidosis after 10 years of ptsd given abilify.* Sunce the sarcoidosis lung nodule scare they have backed off with the drugs. Wondering if chlorahexidine allergies cause lichen planus symptoms. I was a soda pop drinker.
Very clear and easy to understand esoteric terminology. Thanks you.
Great info 👍
Hi Mr. Nemeth I have a question. After brushing my teeth, most of the time what I see is people then wash all that paste out with water. Is that wrong? There were some people saying it's best to just use a mouthwash right after as it helps the paste stick to the gums/teeth. Is that actually true?
Thanks!
Can someone help me everytime i brush my teeth. After a few minutes my mouth smell bad breath this was began since my childhood days now i am adult. Still my problem exist and my confidence was very low due to this chronic problem
Have you tried oil pulling?
Maybe look into tongue scraping

I am having some green and yellow stuffs coming between my teeth that i am even scared
None of my gums are red or anything and no bone or support is gone but like i noticed when i brushed theres about 4 tiny spots on my top front teeth gums that make blood come out when i brush them
Hi I am 10 years old and my gums hurt a lot. The back of my four front teeth have a build up on the back, what do I do?
Brush them and floss it might hurt but do this for a week and use salt and water and swish it in mouth do this and if still there tell ur parents and go to ur dentist
you need a dental cleaning you have to tell your parents about it before it gets worse
