You can look up these conditions online there are quite a few good health sites,I suggest you go back to see your dentist,a month is a long time to wait when you are in dental pain.



You're got advanced periodontal disease and yes, it's serious. Either you've been brushing not hard enough, leaving plaque (which forms tartar), or you've brushed too hard, causing your gums to bleed.

In any case, you're going to have to go to a gum guy, a periodontist and it's expensive as hell.

Sorry.

58 year old physician who had gum disease and got it reversed the expensive, painful way by deep scaling. Trust me, you don't want to know.



Brush twice a day and floss especially before bed as that is when the bacteria grows the most, don't smoke, don't drink coffee or fizzy drinks, water preferably. You need to use corsodyl mouth wash which is specifically for gum disease. Its not as bad as you think and is reversible if you treat your gum correctly.

had it myself



Spit it out and get a fresh piece. And floss, floss, floss.
