your gums are tender from all of that moving around.

you have an abcess probably of some type. it could be a periodontal abcess which is basically an abcess in the gums along the tooth you should see your dentist pronto

It only takes about two minutes, and yes it is bad if you don't floss.  If I stop flossing for 3 days I can tell the difference.

Yes, the best thing for it is to rinse your mouth several times a day with warm salt water.  It has a healing effect on the gums and surrounding tissues.  Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water.

yeah it's normal.  I've also seen it leave a black coating on your tounge if you don't brush it good the night before.  But do rule out a GI bleed.... if his poo is really foul smelling too go to the doc!!!

these whitening systems can make your teeth more sensitive. If you have cold sensitivity it may get worse. \nthey do whiten though.

It should be close to a clear color, if you drink enough water. A light yellow color is alright but you could drink a little more water. If its dark then thats not really good. You would need to drink more water and eat healthier.

Hi,\n\nIt's difficult to tell exactly without seeing your mouth but 'Blackening' could be caused for a number of reasons.....\n\nFirst thing please try and stop smoking, most of the patients I see with severe gum problems that lead to losing their teeth are smokers, It really badly affects the gums.\n\n The blackening is very likely due to nicotine staining, but can also be a sign that your gums are receeding, as the root surface of teeth when exposed stains a lot more as the root is more porous. Exposed roots are also more prone to decay, although your Dentist should have spotted if this is the case, and are also a sign of gum disease (very common in smokers)\n\n Ideally you should be seeing a Dental Hygienist every 3 months if you smoke, if there is not one at your practice you can ask your dentist to refer you to one at another practice if need be as long as you have a referral letter.\n\nAbrasive pastes like Eucryl and Pearl Drops should not be used regularly as they will roughen and abrade away the enamel and ultimately make the staining worse and your teeth sensitive , same goes for lemon juice, way too acidic, leave a tooth in lemon juice and it dissolves completely eventually!\n\nIf it is just surface staining I advise my patients to use a toothpaste containing Bicarbonate of soda and and electric toothbrush (you can get them as cheap as £12 now) this can work wonders too. \n\nThe only way to  whiten  teeth properly is to have them professionally cleaned by a Dentist or Hygienist and then bleached  by a dentist. \n\nThe stuff sold in the shops does not contain enough peroxide (the active ingredient) to remove anything but a little suface staining.You need to have at least 10% peroxide and this strength is only legally available to dentists in the UK . To do home bleaching supervised by a dentist costs around £350 but gets fantastic results. You wear two bleaching trays for a couple of hours a night for approx 2 wks depending on lightening needed.\n\nYou can also have speed whitening done at the dentist in 1 hour and at around £650, but beware this can make your teeth and gums very sensitive! better to do it gradually over a couple of weeks when you get the same results anyway.\n\nIf the teeth are really badly stained they may need to be crowned or veneered to make a big difference. \n\nMention your concerns about your appearance to the Dentist at your next appointment, that's what they are there for! they may not even be aware of your concern, but should be able to discuss options with you. Good Luck!\n\nHope this helps!

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

it may be thei first signs  of canser or it may be gingivitas either way i recomend you call youyr dentist and make an appointment to be seen so you can have it taken casre of now  at its early cureable stages instead of later when it might be too klate to do anything about  it. and hopefuly it is just gingivitus that way it is easier to cure and get rid of. goodluck to you and i will keep you in my prayers.

Yes, but you need to seek periodontal care.  It's not going to get better by itself or just with vitamins.\n\nThe periodontist may end up [squeamish alert] cutting and scaling back your diseased or receding gums a little so that healthy gums can re-grow.  Then things get better, but you still have to take good care of your teeth since you are now prone to these and related problems.  I have had it done, and it hurts, but it is worth it to not have these problems any more.\n\nOf course the best thing would be to avoid periodontal problems in the first place by having good mouth cleaning and brushing habits, and regular dentist visits.  [This is mainly for other readers of this answer].\n\nGood luck!

they are both healthy..white is only more aesthetically pleasing...cause we've been conditioned that way. go to your dentist and consult about a bleaching kit..only way to whiten.

Well, decay from teeth cannot go into the gum.... but it sounds as if you definitely have a problem going on.  I would recommend you see a dentist as soon as possible to make sure you do not have some type of oral cancer or periodontal disease.  If you have an infection and it is left untreated then yes, it will spread to other areas of your body and if it continues to go untreated then ultimately yes, it could be fatal.
