I was looking at my cats teeth because the vet told me that my kitten that i got fixed has gingivitis. So i was looking at my cats's gum/teeth and also i found that in my 3 year old cat she has loose/crooked teeth the small ones on the bottom in the front and she has some missing im really scared that it might be a disease.

as paradont or so.

suggestions? i know im going to take her to the vet once i get some money but in the mean time idk what to do,

Well I am 15 and turning 16, and i think i am either really mentally ill or i have an eating disorder? Well i am going to a trial soon and i am the victim and my brother is the perpetrator, so lately it makes me feel good to throw up, but i don't want my parents to know so after while i throw up i run the bath tub. my aunt and i were talking tonight and she knows that i have had gingivitis since like 1 week ago,but she never thought anything of it until tonight but she asked the question have i been throwing up and i was like.”um.well.no” and she is like “are you”And im like “sometimes. “so anyways she knows now and i am really scared she will tell somebody because like a year ago i got sent to a mental hospital because of this.so i am like really scared.

Already taking into consideration that it stinks and stains, could it kill germs and gingivitis in your teeth/gums if you smoke regularly? (serious question!) I knoooow it just ads to the problems. It stains, it stinks and it's addictive. However, will it kill germs?

ok, a little spot of my gums in the corner of a baby tooth is sensitive and bleeds everytime i brush it. i was wondering if this could possibly be gingivitis, and if it could spread, and what i can do at home to get rid of it. i cant go to the dentist for another three months becuase of something i dont feel comfortable talking about right now. anyways' dentist is not an option.

home remidies?

My left side of my face swelled up two days ago and I went to the dentist and she said I had Gingivitis.

gave me some pain killers and antibiotics but I have been having this really bad pressure headache like a sinus headache.

these headaches associated with the Gingivitis? Also, I have been taking the medicine for 1 day, how long does it take for the swelling to go down? I have been using Listerine, will that help with the swelling?

how can gingivitis be reversed?

I was running a fever of 38.1 degree celcius when i went to the doctor on Monday and my throat has been very painful.. and it's hard to swallow now.. any advise, anyone? Is it common to have sore throat when you have Gingivitis?? Thanks.

I am a proud mother of a beautiful 9 month old little girl, and I am still nursing her. I lost all my baby weight really fast, and am under my pre pregnancy weight but I eat way more than I ever used to.Recently, I began experiencing gum pain on the upper right 5 teeth in my mouth.w/ in a weeks time, the pain and inflammation is now on both the left and right upper parts of my mouth. I have very good home dental care and since I started experiencing this pain, I have even changed from brushing 3 times a day to as much as 5 times a day and flossing 2-3 times too and using mouth wash.it doesn't seem to be helping.could it be something in my diet? could my nursing my daughter be taking too much of my nutritional needs from me?? (I really want to keep nursing.so last resort is stopping) do i have gingivitis?? But I take good care of my teeth.someone please help!! One other thing is my gums do NOT bleed when I floss or brush.

this be given to my daughter through my milk

First of all I have Lupus and a demyelinating condition that has given me Autonomic Nervous System Failure.

to this condition I severe gastric reflux while on a safe diet and no alcohol. Without Nexium I bring up literally cupfuls of gastric acid each day. On Nexium 40mg I am not absorbing enough calcium to stop my jaw from locking shut and pulling my jaw sideways. On 20 mg Nexium my jaw functions normally yet I still bring up acid. My teeth have turned yellow because the enamel is wearing off from the acid despite having always bee a good flosser and brusher. My dentist of 23 years I am 42 ) says I've kept him poor until now.

brings me to my question: CAN I still have periodontitis on 2 of my back teeth if my dentist tells me (and of course I know myself I don't have gingivitis anywhere? Two of my back teeth are loose and on xray the ligaments that are meant to hold them in on one of them are not visible. OR is it the CLENCHING alone has loosened my teeth?

Well, the title pretty much says it all, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I brush and rinse and gargle with Listerine twice a day (morning and night) and I floss once every other day. I'm pretty agressive with it, too. I know I do a good job. However, unless I've just brushed and flossed and such, my breath becomes sour smelling. It can be pretty bad. ESPECIALLY when I wake up in the mornings. Also, throughout the day this (white?) film forms in the corners of my mouth, but it's not a lot.

sleeping my lips, the corners of my mouth, my teeth, and gums are covered in (what I'm assuming is) the same thing. I drink water periodically which helps keep the stuff from forming, and I chew mint gum, which helps with that and the smell. I don't really know if any of this is normal or not.

I fix this? Oh, I think I may have a very mild form of gingivitis. My gums are a little puffy, but it's not really bad, and I've been more agressive lately and the puffy-ness has decreased
