Dental Care Tips: How to Maintain Healthy Teeth and Gums : Periodontal Gum Disease Detection & Prevention: Dental Care & Oral Hygiene

Buy the brush-picks. And fish out the plaque at least once a week between teeth. Plus use the tooth-pick side to dislodge calculus. Bloody blobs and flecks are the bad stuff. Get rid of that and you are home free.

Wow, 19. You most likely have genetics that cause you to be VERY prone. I'm 32 and have been diagnosed myself. I'm going to have the cleaning done and will need a couple bone implants to fill the pockets.

There really isn't much you can do but keep clean and visit the dentist every 6 months for a check up. If you stay on top of it, you should be safe for many years.

Eat right, stay healthy and take some vitamins to help your body keep fighting infection and bone loss. Good luck to you.
