Do I hav Trench Mouth ?

I was experiencing bad breath for a while, but ignored it mainly because of lack of time (exam-time). I've also read that stress is related to Periodontal Health. I was shocked to find my upper 2 wisdom teeth's gum borders to be greyish. Severe bleeding started from almost everywhere in my back jaw, where I used a toothpick (gently). I gargle %26amp; use Listerine (2x /day). I'm afraid of Bone infection %26amp; Heart Disease. What type of Anti-Biotic is best (except Amoxocillin; gives me diarrhea) ? Can my family doc. prescribe it or will the dentist have 2 do it ? (I do plan to visit him after my exams, for an extraction).





***Plz. don't post common-sense ans. Thnx 4 ure understanding.

Do I hav Trench Mouth ?
Your doc can give u an rx for it
Reply:Sure sounds like trench mouth. When I had it, the dentist didn't prescribe any antibiotic. but had me use straight hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. (It worked.)
Reply:First please stop using a toothpic right now %26amp; carry dental floss' with you and use that!!! If the toothpic should break in-between your teeth you are asking for another batch of worries. H2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) is great but I would dilute it with warm water, I would also gargle with salt water in between these rinses I feel the most important of thes is the dental floss. Good luck..If you can stand a teasppon of vinegar and warm water try to rinse with that once or twice a day too......
Reply:Talk to a local dentist ASAP.





While gum disease can be attributable to many things such as diabetes, stress, and medications, the fact is that the majority of Americans who are afflicted with gum disease have nothing more to blame than a combination of poor dental hygiene, poor nutrition, and tobacco use (if you are a smoker). Gum disease is no laughing matter folks. It is a very serious and unnecessary risk to your health, not to mention your smile and ability to chew solid food into your twilight years.





The early stage of gum disease is gingivitis, where the gums redden, swell, and bleed easily, yet can be reversed with professional cleanings and proper dental hygiene. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis. Periodontitis is much more of a threat, and with time, plaque can spread below the gum line, creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and toxins. These toxins produce a chronic inflammatory response that cause the tissue and bone that support the teeth to be broken down and destroyed. Gums will separate from the teeth, forming pockets which can become infected by the already present bacteria. Ultimately, if no action has been taken, the resulting bone loss and infection will call for the tooth to be removed in the afflicted area.





Sadly, gums cannot regenerate themselves, and the bones that hold your beautiful teeth in place will not reform. But, if caught soon enough (before your teeth fall out of your head), gum disease can be stopped dead in its tracks, pockets will close up, gums will become toned and healthy, and the former threat of bone loss will no longer exist.
