Dental-my husband has reddish gums but no swelling,...

Question

or bleeding that we can tell. I recently switched tooth paste with peroxide in it. Could he be allergic to the tooth paste? It is mainly his upper front teeth. He has always been very careful to brush and floss everyday.

Answer 1

I'm going to offer my two cents just in case. I just went to the dentist today and I thought my teeth were in great health. I brushed and flossed twice daily, never had any problems with bleeding. This was a new dentist and I was so shocked when she told me I had plaque build up in my mouth so bad that I had gum disease. I couldn't believe it. My previous dentist obviously wasn't doing a good enough job in cleaning my teeth and I had to pay the price for it by having to get deep scaling done. It cost me over 100 bucks and I could just go and kick him in the behind right now.

So although there is no bleeding, I'd still get checked out. Because I had NO symptoms to my naked eye. But apparently certain teeth were in pretty bad shape.
