Answers:
the recession will cause sensitivity, try using an extra soft toothbrush and sensodyne or any toothpaste for sensitive teeth!. Flossing is a MUST!. If you have no dental insurance I highly recommend you floss daily and brush twice a day to prevent any problems!. If the bleeding/redness doesn't go away after awhile then you may have perio disease!. The sensitive tooth may be a cavity, if it hurts when drinking cold water etc!. But it is unlikely to have periodontitis under age 30!. Ask family members to see if they have the same problem, could have genetic perio problems!. If you can scrape together enough money for a dental cleaning that would be best to remove tartar and bacteria under gums then just keep up with flossing, brushingWww@Answer-Health@Com

It actually depends on the bone level!. Lack of mobility is also very important!. There are effective treatments for periodontal disease, but none of them are cheap!. In the meantime, just keep your teeth as clean as possible-brush and floss and use a good toothpaste (total or pro-health)!. The longer that you wait to start treatment, the more expensive and difficult it becomes to fix your problem!. That is unless you just wait until you need dentures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok so i have the same problem!.!.on my lower front teeth!. I am going to the dentist tomorrow!. There are SOME affordable plans!.!.call around to dentists and see if they take payment plans!. My front bottom two teeth are mobile(somewhat loose) and i am probably going to have them extracted and get a temporary bridge because a permanant bridge is VERY expensive!. It might not be too late to save your teeth though!.!.they may be able to do gum treatments and medication!. sigh!. I know it sucks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

causes of periodontal disease are
1 build up of plaque and calculus
2 poor oral hygiene
3 improper nutrition
4 malocclusion
5 stress
6 and systemic factors
use curasept once a day and visit your dentist for a scale and clean every 6 months and buy a product called tooth moose, it will help with the sensitivityWww@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with Katie, also, if there is a dental school near you you could check to see if you could be part of a new research treatment trial and you may qualify to get all your visits and treatments done for free!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
