Have you checked recently if you have any type of Diabetes? Gum disease and diabetes usually go hand in hand. Once you get the diabetes under control, you can get infection and gum loss under control.

At my last visit 6 months ago I had one area that measured 6. I had taken a recommendation from a few forum people and used 3%peroxide on my toothbrush with baking soda salt formula from ecodent. I did this every time I brushed with an oral B electic toohbrush 3x/day to help whiten my dull teeth. I have no cavities or abcessess but was told I permanently eroded my teeth and have deep gum pockets now. The hygenist says it's not from the concoction I used but that's the only thing I did different. I was also told that I can not fix the eroded teeth nor deep gum pockets. Even if I strengthened the gum tissue the gaps would remain due to eroding the teeth. I was told I would get and probably have plague in the pockets that is unreachable that will breed bacteria and systemic problems. The dentist wants to bond the teeth to fill in gaps beteen the tooth and gums. He also told me that my gums would be stronger if I agreed to use flouride.I was told I would need oral surgery and loose my teeth if I don't. I can't afford that nor do I want to do that.The hygenist used some deep probe ultrasonic tool that left mygums throbbing. I do not want to bond them. I went in for a simple cleaning with no cavities and left being told I will loose my teeth! My questions are: Do power toothbrushes erode enamel on teeth? We're told they decrease plague,cavities and whiten. Does peroxide damage teeth and gums? Is Dr. Judds tooth soap the best way to go? CoQ 10? Can enamel be rebuilt? Does swishing CS stain the teeth? My teeth seemed grayer after I used it for months. I pray the damage is reversible. Thanks for any suggestions. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
