Gum lines deteriorating?!
Question: Gum lines deteriorating!?
The gum lines on the bottom row, near my front teeth is really receding away!. On one tooth, I can feel the bottom of it, which is how bad it's going away!. I know I need to see a dentist eventually, but right now I cannot afford it!. Are there any store bought products I can use to help with gum sensitivity!? Any suggestions what to do (besides see the dentist)!? Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well this happened to me!.!.!.but on my top row and over only ONE of my teeth which ended up looking weird!.
after talkign to my dentist and ortho about it they told me that this is usally caused by someone brushing to hard!.!.!.by either using too hard of a toothbrush or using a soft/medium one but brushing very hard with it!.
what to do!?
well keep on brushing and flossing of course but go abit lighter in that area and make sure you only use a soft or medium tooth brush!.!.!.soft is the best though!. keep in mind that jsut cuase its soft doesnt mean you have to brush harder in order to get the area clean!.
if you gum is sensitive in taht area, tery using an antibacterial mouthwash (i recommend sterisol) to kill excess bacteria in your mouth!. itll help with preventing and treating both ulcers and gingivitis!.
yes!.!.!.eventually you should see a doctor when you can!. dont delay it, or it may just get worse!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oragel may help, but I kinda doubt it!. Sensitivity is caused because the root of the tooth or teeth is exposed by the receding gumline!. Scraping the tooth root, hot, cold and sugary things will cause it to be sensitive!. Sensodyne toothpaste will work over time to block the exposed and open tubules on the root surface that allow water to move inside the tubule from the outside surface to the nerve that registers the sensitivity!. But this may take weeks to months before the sensitivity is helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
