Receding gums is just another one of those things that most people don’t think about until it happens. The process is gradual, with maybe a few discreet signs such as sensitivity to hot or cold beverages or food items, slight bleeding at the gumline, perhaps even some minor discomfort or puffiness from time to time. As gum loss typically begins to occur between the ages of 35-40, many adults in its beginning stages attribute tooth sensitivity and other changes to the aging process and leave it at that.
Left unchecked, the gingiva, or gums, can recede greatly to the point of exposing the roots of a tooth. The danger of gum loss is that the gingiva does not grow back once it is gone and treatment for such a condition can require extensive surgery in the long run. It is an unequivocal truth that healthy gums are the key to keeping healthy teeth.It has been found that a number of factors contribute to the problem of receding gums, among them: Periodontal disease Imbalanced occlusion or bite pattern Heredity Hormonal changes Stress Smoking Poor diet Major illness and/or medications Either inadequate dental habits or overzealous brushing and flossing To diagnose the problem correctly, the amount of gum tissue is compared to the amount of the tooth exposed.
A full comprehensive dental examination will occur, including a complete synopsis of any known hereditary dental conditions. Depending on the cause and the amount of gum loss, treatment for receding gums can be as simple as prescribing an agent for desensitizing teeth with recommendations for a softer toothbrush and gentler brushing techniques. Nutritional supplements, such as calcium or vitamin C may also be recommended.
In a case with gums receding to an extensive degree, the only relief may come in the form of gum grafts. A donor source in the mouth, typically the palate, provides the tissue that will cover the exposed root of a tooth. Generally, only 1-2 teeth will be treated at a time.
Recommended techniques for managing or preventing receding gums and long-term damage are as following: Brushing teeth and flossing at least twice a day Using a toothbrush with soft bristles Rinsing the mouth regularly Eating balanced and healthy diet Learn to de-stress in healthy ways Ditch the smoking habit or use of any other tobacco products See a dentist regularly, as in every 6 to 12 months.
I also used a gum disease treatment and regular fluoride mouthwash. I had no pain for year. Then it came back except this time it was really bad.
The sensitive areas of the teeth that normally might be sensitive to hot or cold were so painful you could compare it to having your nails ripped out and being burnt by cigarettes or stung by a bee. When it goes off like this, I also get pain in my jaw, cheek, lips, and echo pain in my ear and eye. It is not a neurological problem but the neuralgia is a side effect when it gets bad.
I have underlying toothache between the teeth that kind of tingles and throbs. I don’t always feel it because the areas between the teeth are covered up by gums so it comes and goes. The problem is in the awkard to reach area between the teeth just under gum level.
The pain is actually in the teeth, not in the gums. If I put a toothpick in between and pushed it down slightly it would set me off for several days in total pain. When this happens I take heavy drugs – there is nothing I won’t take except for heroine & crack.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
