Hello, does anybody know of anything that could help with Gingivitis? This is quite a severe case, teeth falling out, etc.

Many thanks.

2 x daily flossing/tepe, 2 x brushing with electric toothbrush, seeing a hygienist every 3 months, but if teeth are wobbly it means the bone support has been lost therefore your looking at periodontitis (advanced progression of gingivitis). So it’s all about maintaining and trying to stop further deterioration as the bone will never come back unfortunately.

OMG I've had this so bad throughout my pregnancy. I thought it was just a case of seriously bad timing, but then I read this banningdental.co.uk/what-happens-to-our-teeth-during-pregnancy/ and have just been to see my dentist and apparently its really common. Not sure why teeth and pregnancy are related, but I'd get it checked out. They told me I wouldn't have been able to fix it myself at home it had got so bad!
