More of my toothes are loose now

Question

my teeth on the bottom row are loose. first it was 2 now its 4. i looked in the mirror and it looks like bone inside is shrinking. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING? i can't go to the dentist because my mom says it nothing. i think i have periodontitis, but i don't remember getting gingivitis.

Answer 1

s***w your mom, pick up the phone and make the appointment yourself and WALK to the dentist, unless they;re your baby teeth...

Answer 2

What you are not saying is how old you are. Are these baby teeth that you are losing or are they your permanent teeth?

Permanent teeth should not be loose. If they are loose then there is definitely a problem going on and it should be checked by your dentist. Your mother is wrong in not taking you to have your teeth checked. If it is in fact periodontitis it could be a very serious health issue. There has been found to have a link between bad gums and heart disease.

Until you see your dentist, brush and floss your teeth very well and use warm salt water to irrigate the gums. If an area bleeds you should be more diligent in your brushing. Bleeding gums means that the area needs more brushing not less.... not harder but of longer duration.

Hope that it all turns out well.

Answer 3

maybe its your gums that are shrinking-- r u getting enough vitamin c?? i think that loose teeth that eventually fall out are symptom of scurvy... although im pretty sure you dont have that
