Just save some money and go to a dental college where you can get work done at discount prices. They even have payment plans. Several thousand dollars is not a big price to pay for healthy and beautiful teeth.

Actually there are several "dentist and hygienist" approved methods of tooth brushing.  We teach our patients the different methods based on their individual needs.  The easiest one is where you use small circular strokes covering all of the tooth surfaces as well as massaging the gum tissue.  You ALWAYS want to use a soft toothbrush.  As the harder ones are bad for your enamel and gums.  Electric toothbrushes are great, they allow you to be lazy, put the brush to your tooth and it does most of the work all you have to do is move it in your mouth. Make sure you floss everyday this is just as important as brushing your teeth as floss can reach the areas where your brush can't.

You need to get a soft toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums 2-3 times a day, and FLOSS twice a day.  You need to follow up with a salt water rinse to toughen your gums.  If you don't do this, you will get gum disease and rot your teeth.  The bleeding is a sign of problems.  I learned the hard way from a military dentist.

Rinse with warm salt water several times per day... it has a natural healing affect on the gums and surrounding tissues.  Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of warm water.

there are a couple of things to help your sens. teeth. first, if you use whitening toothpaste, stop. it is more abrasive than regular toothpaste. second, start using sensodyne toothpaste...like someone said, it takes about a month, but one thing you can do is apply it directly to the area and that should help. \nyou could go to a periodontist to see if you have recession (where the gums recede from the tooth and expose the root of the tooth). there is a minor gum surgery that can be done to move the gum tissue back where it belongs.\nyou could also have your dentist make you fluoride trays that you fill with fluoride gel toothpaste (prevident) and wear for 5-15mins/day. fluoride helps with sens. teeth.

see a dentist is a really good answer, they can usually fit you in on short notice,, x-rays and exams are not too expensive,,,,try switching to colgate it is really good for gingivitus and plaque,,, \n\n i used to always have bleeding gums switched to electric (fancy) toothbrush and colgated and bleeding gums went away,,, last check up had a dentist comment on how well my teeth were taken care of,,, (real shocker coming from someone who would make more money by saying i had lots of problems) needless to say bleeding gums gone been checked up and bad breath left also,,,, hmmm

Proper Flossing\n\nFlossing is an essential part of the tooth-cleaning process because it removes plaque from between teeth and at the gumline, where periodontal disease often begins.\n\nIf you find using floss awkward or difficult, ask your dental hygienist about the variety of dental floss holders or interdental cleaning devices that are available.\n\n\n\nWind 18" of floss around middle fingers of each hand. Pinch floss between thumbs and index fingers, leaving a 1"- 2" length in between. Use thumbs to direct floss between upper teeth.  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nKeep a 1" - 2" length of floss taut between fingers. Use index fingers to guide floss between contacts of the lower teeth.  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nGently guide floss between the teeth by using a zig-zag motion. DO NOT SNAP FLOSS BETWEEN YOUR TEETH. Contour floss around the side of the tooth.  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSlide floss up and down against the tooth surface and under the gumline. Floss each tooth thoroughly with a clean section of floss.  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n--Illustrations adapted by and used courtesy of the John O.

Most milk is fortified with Vitamin D because without it you could eat all the calcium there is and not be able to benefit from it (physiologically). \nTo promote strong bones, take multivitamins and eat lots of calcium. \nTo promote strong teeth, get a toothpaste and mouth rinse with flouride. Floss regularly to help strengthen your gums. You can also get flouride treatments at a dentists office. They are great to help make sure your teeth stay strong. Though, you do have to bite down on a fruity tasting flouride mouthguard for five minutes. What fun!

Yes for these teeth you have prob. learned to late.  You can't floss every couple of days, it has to be everyday.  If you don't want more decay and rotten teeth, then floss everyday. You need to have these teeth extracted, abscessed teeth are nothing to play with, you can get seriously ill, or even die if you don't have them taken care of.  You need to learn to brush consistently and the right way.  You are not brushing as well on the lower because you are afraid of hitting the decayed teeth. You have to use a soft toothbrush and use small circular strokes with very little pressure.  You have used too much pressure on the lower, which has caused the recession.  I would suggest an electric toothbrush.  Flossing:  go in between each tooth wrap one side of the tooth like a "C" shape and wiggle up and down a few times and then do this to the other tooth in front, going all of the way around the mouth.  Again you don't have to use a lot of pressure, you don't want to injure or cut the gum tissue.  Decay is caused by bacteria and food debris which turns into acid, this causes decay.  Gingivitis and periodontitis are gum conditions.  The problem is you, you have to do the work in order to have a healthy mouth.  I know this is blunt, but you have to wake up and brush as much as possible, floss everyday, and see a dentist about your problem teeth.  Educate yourself on home care and about tooth decay and gum disease.  Use your search engine for help.
