Q. Can you use tea tree oil to treat receding gums?

"Tea tree oil help with recending gum lines..."

Tea tree oil help with recending gum lines. You can use teatree oil, apply it all over your gums and then spit out after some mins. If you smoke and drink and don`t have good eating habbits then it will not work properly!

Q. What do receding gums look like?

"I think a visit to your dentist would be in order & help ful..."

gingival (gum) recession can be caused by the muscle attachments being too close to the gum line at the collar of the tooth. This usually occurs more often in the lower anterior (front) teeth and less often in the areas of the premolar teeth(teeth in front of the molars). There are other causes, namely, toothbrush abrasion and clenching or grinding. If the recession is worsening there are procedures that can correct the recession. I think a visit to your dentist would be in order & help ful

Q. Why is my mom suffering severe mouth pain?
she was diagnosed with periodontal disease a few years ago. i know this causes pain sometimes and many areas of her gum have receded back down, nearly to the root in some places. she has had to get some teeth pulled because that is all we can afford to get done for her at a dentist. one time she had a bad tooth that caused half her face to swell. the tooth had to be pulled and they put her on clindamycin. she recovered from it really well. this was earlier this year. lately she's gotten an abscessed gum and a few teeth have been really loose but today her whole mouth just suddenly flared up with intense pain. she says it feels like all her teeth, gum, and jaw is in pain. does she have a tooth infection? is there anything we can do? we can't afford a dentist right now after we had to fix our van. she has tried clove oil, ice, tea tree oil, etc. orajel doesn't work and she can't take anything like aspirin or tylenol. thank you so very much for any help! the poor dear came crying to me, which i haven't seen my mom cry in years. this is a very serious question and i'll say frankly i don't want any jerks (to put it lightly) making any snide comments. yes, she does smoke. the problem is that my mom disagrees with the dentist that she has periodontal disease. her gums are not red and bleeding. and every time she lost a tooth, it turns out the roots had been broken and/or disintegrated. her symptoms seem to fit tooth infections. i just wanted to know what i might be able to give her to relieve some pain. as i stated, she can't take advil or tylenol.

When you don't take care of your teeth properly, you get periodontal disease. When you get periodontal disease, you start losing bone and your teeth start to loosen. What she has is only handled by a dentist. I don't believe there is anything she can do at home. Rinse with baking soda and warm water and take something advil that will give her alittle pain relief and go to the dentist...this is a priority. As an after thought, if she is in pain now, then she could probably go to the emergency room and they would give her antibiotics and some kind of pain medicine to get her through the week-end. It doesn't take the place of a dentist, just give her a little protection until she can get into him on Monday.
