Ok, so my teeth and gums have always been pretty fine. Only ever had one tiny filling and thats it.
I don't pay for dental treatment and a check up always seemed to include a quick scrape or my teeth, but they won't do this at a check up anymore, they just advise a trip to the hygienist which at £35 i've not been able to afford yet.
Last week I got a new toothbrush and my gums started bleeding. After a few days of use I couldn't stand it anymore, the bristles were just too harsh, and so I got another brush with a much better head.
However the gum below my bottom front teeth is now swollen and feels a bit bruised. The bleeding has decreased but I am worried that there is now something going on.
I cannot afford a trip to the hygienist at the mo but I have enough points on my boots card to buy some of that Corsodyl mouthwash and their toothpaste. Will that help until I can save up the money for the hygienist ???
