Pocket Plaque
Do I still have Gingivitis?
I had braces from 6th to 10 grade I'm now 32. I was told i had gingivitis. I had all the problems swollen gums, bleeding , and the pockets around the teeth. I am deathly afraid of the dentist but went and started treatment this was 4 years ago. All of a sudden my teeth stop bleeding and they aren't swollen anymore. I notice that while brushing big pieces of hard plaque was coming off my teeth.Sorry to sound gross, but I was told once you have it you always have it. I haven't built up enough nerve to go back to the dentist.
From what you have described, you sound like you have periodontitis which is a what gingivitis progresses to become. Like diabetes, there is no cure for periodontitis only treatment. The stuff coming off of your teeth is not plaque but calculus, otherwise known as tartar. If it is coming off of your teeth when you brush, you must have a large amount of it. This is not healthy for your mouth or for your overall health. You may have removed enough tartar to temporarily stop the bleeding and the swelling, but I can assure you it will be back. Have any of your teeth become loose yet? This will be the next stage. Once that starts to happen, you will end up losing your teeth. You need to see a dentist ASAP and continue with any treatment they recommend. Unless of course you are okay with having dentures. Sorry to sound so blunt.
