No dentist please ..need help!!!  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I think that i have gum infection or something going wrong. I refuse to go to the dentist.,for many reasons. I have all my teeth except for one that I lost when i had a seizure and smashed my face off the bathroom sink.,.knocked it clean out. Never been replaced. This evening during dinner a pices of my tooth fell out and i swallowed it along with my food its the whole front end of the tooth and its in the back so it will remain unseen,,,
My problem is this I fear I may have an infection,or something on my gum in the front. its rather unnoticeable as my lip covers it even during a smile. It may just be over grown gums, as i have a tooth that leans forward and has produced a gap and it seams the gum has grown up in the gap. My gums do bleed when i brush but that has happend since forever and I also have to take meds for seizure which can cause gum problems.
Is there any kind of mouth wash or rince I could try to see if it goes down. I have extremely limited funds so home remedies would be fantastic.

peroxide might help cut down on the infection, but you need to get in to a DDS. Do you live in a college town? Most DDS take payments, do you qualify for state medical plans? Your mouth needs attention. If you have a local dental college or hygene school you can get in with them at a greatly reduced cost.

I did not have dental coverage for 10 plus years, I went the hygenist (sp?) school route the whole time and had great success.

Call all the DDS in your area, explain and ask for help. Until then gargle with peroxide and water, salt and water and try to boost your immune system.

Good luck
