How To Treat Gum Disease

Gum disease – aka “periodontal disease” aka “periodontitis”– is the most common reason behind adult tooth loss. The number one reason people lose their teeth is not because of cavities - its because of gum disease. Let's talk about how to treat gum disease!

Gum disease is preventable, but only if you catch it in the earliest stage of gingivitis. Once more aggressive periodontal disease kicks in, you’ll require professional treatment to prevent tooth loss.

The severity of your gum disease can put your health at risk. As medical issues and periodontitis go hand in hand, it’s crucial to treat them together instead of as two separate issues.

Treating gum disease starts at home with good daily brushing and flossing, followed up with professional cleanings with your hygienist.

Ah, one of my biggest regrets in life is letting my depression take over my life. And one of the cons to that invasion was my health. And especially my oral health, I would sleep all day and never get up. To this day I somehow still have my teeth somehow, I always brush and floss, but the depression always comes back and strikes me, it’s very fragmented

[zaik]

Mine are sooo bad!! Why did nobody teached me about this? I’m only 18 and I’m so scared of loosing my teeth’s.

I had ultrasonic scaling and rooting done on my upper premolars, which had pretty bad periodontitis, then finished off with laser treatment. After that I have been brushing 3 times a day, started using xylitol and using mouthwash. My pocket is at a 1 now and i have bone regrowth. Don't give up hope guys! Just take it really serious after treatment :)

My periodontist told me that i had the best gums shes seen that day, and i was a later in the day at 15:00. I told her that i watch your videos for tips and she said whatever youre doing its working. Ty a million!

[burieddead]

Just got diagnosed with gum disease...and you were the first person I thought of to help me understand!!

[thqtmbv]

for everybody nervous about their gums, i was nervous too but i had scaling 3 days ago and only after the visit my pockets were gone (now gums need to reattach to teeths only), i had really bad looking gums and had 3 gum pockets so i know how stressful it can be, just go to dentist and it will be fine

Keep your teeth as clean as possible-

Depression messed me up.
Now I feel like this is the end.

Dentist: tells me my teeth could fall out Me: HAS PANICK ATTACK WHILE GOOGLING WAYS TO GET RID OF IT WHILE VICIOUSLY FLOSSING

[Boxxxxxxxxx]

If you have gingivitis or periodontitis at any stage all this after care does not matter if your diet is not as clean as possible. Avoid overly processed food and PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DIET PLEASE. In the long run, this is the most important thing.

I'm 15, and as someone who thinks they might be going through gum disease, I'm petrified for what the future holds for my teeth, I'm scaredddd

[wecling]

I have this and I’m so scared. I’m going to the dentist tomorrow and I know it’s going to be expensive... it’s hard to deal with because I was never taught how to actually care for my teeth, and how important it was, many years of mental health problems and not caring for my teeth really caught up with me when I started smoking tobacco products. I saw no signs of anything bad and then it recently got super bad and went downhill quickly. I’m terrified of tooth loss and I’m just hoping it’s not too late... I just regret not knowing how important it was until now

Hii so I went to the dentist and I will tell you what she told me! First I had gingivitis but it was pretty mild so if you have it more severe you should prolly go to the dentist but if it’s pretty mild like mine you might be able to treat it at home:) first she deep cleaned the gums that were inflamed, I feel like a deep clenaing would be good but not necessary. You can start by flossing frequently and brush your gums in circular motions when brushing your teeth but don’t do it too aggressively. Also if you have braces there is a special floss for it. Use salt water to disinfect and try to kill the bacteria in your gums and if you have listerine or mouth wash I recommend using that since it will help destroy plaque and help gingivitis. She prescribed me with a special moutwash and toothpaste but you need a doctors prescription for that thought it’s not necessary, I still recommend you visit the dentist but if you can’t then I say brush and floss frequently two to three times a day and after you eat and rinse your mouth with salt water and listerine and it should go away with time and good oral hygiene lmk if you have any questions I’m not a professional this is just based from my experience:)

Bruh, my dentist is like, yo u got gum disease, and i asked him how do i get rid of it? And u know what he said? ‘Uhhh just google it’

[barbaramandato]

Thank you for this video. I have had this issue and now after scaling and root plaining every 3 months, I am much better and going back to every 6 month cleanings. I did up my routine and now I brush with an electric toothbrush, floss, interdental picks and I use a waterpik. I did have bone loss in my back teeth upper left and right sides, but I didn't have gum surgery. I love your videos, very informative and spot on.

[Weewootruck]

something about this information made me cry about my gums 😭

[mandymandy]

See the hygienist every 3 months and use an electric toothbrush to clean your teeth until they are clean. My pockets went to zeros after doing this but you must stay on top of it daily. My gums don’t bleed now. So there is hope if you are motivated

[Carlos]

I haven't been to a dentist for over 10 years. I'm going back this year to a specialist.

[Alex-musm]

ngl feeling a little betrayed by my dentist for not telling me how to treat my gingivitis x

thank u so much teeth lady

[FiolettaArts]

my previous dentist told me I am too young to have my gums be in pain all the time and bleeding. I just got a new dentist and he right away scheduled 4 hygienist appointments for me bc I have periodontitis.
