Hi, 2 years ago i had braces on, my teeth have always been very healthy, i had a bad experience with my old dentist and have developed a problem with going to the dentist. In the past 6 month-1 year my gums have bled slightly, it has now gotton worse and today my gums feel very inlamed and sore to touch. I brush regular and try to look after my teeth as much as possible, i think i have gingivitis and i am terrified that i will suffer from tooth loss! help!
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The reason for the bleeding as you said, it is because of the gum infection secondary to deposit. How much ever we clean there are certain areas where the brush will not be able to reach and once the debris becomes hard, it cannot be cleaned or removed by brush. At that time, you need to get your teeth cleaned by consulting a dentist. Forget about the bad experience about your previous dentist and consult another good dentist and get your teeth treated. If you neglect and prolong the treatment then your teeth might become loose secondary to bone loss, and you might lose teeth. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
