I'm worried about my gums - I've had a little bit of bleeding with brushing recently and a bit of swelling at one spot for a few days that spontaneously resolved. I brush twice a day with nonfluoridated toothpaste. I try to remember to floss each night and I'm getting better about it. I've had no major issues with my teeth and I have a family history of very good teeth, even with poor nutrition and hygeine. I'm just worried that the bleeding is a sign of something starting.
I've also noticed some sensitivity in my molars recently. I just had a molar sealed because it had the beginnings of a cavity (my first). The dentist didn't mention anything about any others, but he said that my molars have very deep ridges.
Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do to make sure my teeth and gums stay healthy?
