Gums wearing away08/31/2007 |
I have been having problems for a few m onths now. My gums are seperating from my teeth in two spots and have black stuff underneath that won`t come off. It is not painful, swollen, or bleeding. I brush, floss, and use mouth rise twice a day but nothing is working. What can I do to make this problem go away?
You need to see a dentist. The black stuff can be plaque, calculus or root decay. All of these are caused by bacteria and help with retention of further bacteria. Thus, you need to see a dentist and have at least professional cleaning. Depending on actual cause, the dentist may recommend alternative treatment options.
