My mom seems to have the periodontal disease and seems to be in the moderate/severe level. She was diagnosed by a dentist and was told that she had to act quickly to keep her teeth. I think this would mean she has about a 4-5mm gap by now. She complains of bad breath, itching, and bleeding during brushing. I have already told her to brush her teeth, floss, rinse with either sterisol, corsodyl, warm salt water, or pure hydrogen peroxide(H2O2), and not eat anything for 1hr after this treatment round. (Please let me know if any of the above steps should be avoided or if there are any other effective home remedies) Also, is an electric toothbrush better at removing plaque than regular brush? I heard the Sonicare Elite is the best line, but I don't know which model. I did some research and decided she needs the "special scaling", or Periodontal Scaling and I want to find her the best dentist around Birmingham, Alabama. I think she'll be willing to drive about 2hr if she can find an excellent dentist. If you know any great dentists by reference or experience, please let me know. Also, we do not have dental insurance and won't be covered by any company for the medical fees, so the price has be to manageable. If possible, please let me know about how much the several visits may cost. If you have any experience or knowledge of this Periodontal disease, please share your experience and any tips. Thank you in advance because I know this is a lot to read! Best answer will receive 10pts.

Sudden appearance of broken tooth 2 yrs after wisdom teeth pulled?
after eating tonight i noticed a slight abrading against the side of my tongue. after rinsing and brushing it appears that there is a broken piece of tooth 5th back on my lower left side. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled in 06 and I'm concerned that this is an un-extracted portion of a tooth. It is not a small sliver but a larger shape partially obstructed by gum tissue. Having no current dental insurance what do i have to look forward to here, is it something that works itself loose or am i in for a miserable experience.
--------------------
It could be residue but most likley it could be the start of another wisdom tooth forming but it surfaced i would have your oral surgen take a look and about insurance you can get government insurance for free if you make under a certain amount check into it!!!

how much will it cost to fix my chipped tooth?
When I was 9 I went down a hill on my bike and Face planted into the road causing my front right tooth to be chipped diagonally half-way. I got it filled because it was a permanent tooth. but when I was in grade 5 one day I bit on a apple and it broke off and I had a chipped tooth I am now in grade 9 and still havent gotten it fixed because everytime I think about getting it done my parents dont have the money for it and we have no dental insurance because my parents own two stores and 1 of them is not going so well. How much do you think it would cost just to get a filling?

Call your local dental society to get a referral. The society may have the name of a dental professional that provides sliding scale services to patients. You could also try a local college/university school of dentistry clinic. You may receive the services at a much lower cost.

Brushing Teeth once a day instead of twice.?
Hi, this has been very confusing. I posted a question similar to this. My family, all of them, brush their teeth once a day with minimal teeth care, and never have cavities when they go to their checkups. Me on the otherhand, I brush my teeth for 6 minutes morning and night. I rinse and clean my mouth after everytime I eat, and use mouthwash once at night. Yet I keep getting one cavity after another, right now I think I have 2. I'm coming to the decision I have my mom's sensitive teeth and brushing my teeth is causing more harm to me than good, Would anyone back up my idea of only brushing the teeth once a day? to let the Enamels of my teeth Strengthen. This is important because I have no Dental Insurance and health bills are eating up my god damn wallet.

The research has shown that a very thorough plaque removal ( long rushing and flossing) can be done once every 24 to 36 hours. Most gumline sensitivity is actually a side effect of clenching one's teeth while asleep. Aggressive brushing can then lead to wear at the gum line area (other things wear the area as well.) Gentle (soft bristle), but thorough brushing and flossing is the answer. People that don't get cavities just don't have alot of the type of bacteria that cause them. Many people can be prone to gum disease later in life however.

GINGIVITIS . . . ! lol not really but?
age 4 parents did not teach me good mouth hygiene age 5 had five baby teeth pulled age 12 root canal age 13 two root canals age 14 another root canal and tooth removal age 15 two more root canals age 16 now im finally taking precautions to care for teeth, but years of not brushing, tooth paste mouth wash and floss hurt my mouth i thought after a few months the tooth paste would at least stop being painful but now a little more than a year has past everything is still painful, and i have given up most sugars that i can (have high cholesterol, diabetes, and stress is making me breakout heavily) and the cherry on top i have a tooth ache right now. they keep putting in z.o.a but once i go to sleep grind them out of my head, can't get a mouth guard because the dental insurance ran out and i tried the store brands but the always fall out (not sure how the hell) and ive had a cavity in every single tooth (doc actually told me). question 1 what is the most sensitive tooth paste? question 2 what is the most sensitive mouth wash? question 3 what more can i do, i have a busy life?

sensodyne toothpaste is made for people with sensitive teeth. also use an electric toothbrush. they are better at removing food stuck in teeth and are better for people with sensitive teeth. i'm not sure about the mouth wash part since all of the mouth was i know contains alcohol which can be abrasive to teeth if you suffer from tooth sensitivity. you should also floss daily. and if gum sensitivity is a problem, try using a mixture of peroxide and warm water as a mouth wash. the peroxide will kill any bacteria in the gums.

Do I NEED brace? W/ picture?
okay, im 16 and im planning on asking my mom if i can get braces as my 17th bday gift couse i really want perfect straight teeth. how much would my teeth cost? is it going to be more than 3k? My mom works at kaiser and we have dental insurance, will that lower the cost? is there an alternative, not invisiline to straighten my teeth? its because i only have like two weird tooths that are my front ones. thanks in advance!--------------------
I don't know much about braces, but I think you have a beautifull smile. And maybe if you get braces, the treatment will be shoter, and therefore, less expensive.

I have a tooth infection that has progressed to where heat is very sensitive, how long till the pulp dies?
I'm asking because I don't have dental insurance, and have almost no money. I know I need the tooth pulled or a root canal. I can sooth the pain with ice water but it only lasts a few minutes at most. Pain reliever doesn't seem to help much (20% Benzocaine, and Alieve)
--------------------
The time frame will vary with different people. It may be days, weeks, or months. You will know when the pulp finally dies because you will have excruciating pain that will not be relieved by anything. However, you may just luck out if the nerve dies painlessly, which can happen. After the nerve dies, you have another problem on your hands. How to handle the infection and abscess that will form after the pulp is finally dead. Worse case scenario is you will have a huge swelling with pain.
