cant afford dentist but have big build up of plaque causing gaps in teeth My teeth are in bad condition. I m 18 , female, and can t afford a dentist. On my front teeth I have a big build up of plaque which has caused gaps in my teeth. 2 of my front, bottom teeth are surrounded by hard white plaque an i m scared that if I try to get rid of then the teeth will fall out as they are a little bit wobbly just now. I think the plaque is the only thing stopping them. I m really quite scared as I have low self confidence as it is. What can I do ? Please help. Will my teeth fall out ?
Hi, Plaque is very harmful to the gingival health. It should be removed by brushing teeth. Calculus is the hard deposits around teeth which can be removed by scaling done by a dentist only. To prevent further problems brush twice daily, floss your teeth once daily, clean your tongue using a tongue cleaner after brushing, change your tooth brush once in 3 months, scaling of teeth should be done once in 6 months, consult your dentist once in 6 months.
