I changed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and brushing technique and my gingivitis was cured.
It wasn't like that before, but one day, I started feeling sensitive teeth when I ate or chewed. As the sensitivity worsened, I began to feel discomfort when eating. From then on, I researched various treatments for my sensitivity, changed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and even my brushing technique. After about six months of dedicated efforts, my sensitivity was significantly reduced.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because it was just a slight toothache, but it got worse and became really uncomfortable to eat and drink. Every time I ate, I started to feel a pang of anxiety, so I decided to do something to treat my tooth sensitivity, and I went to the dentist. However, the dentist said they didn't know the exact cause.
So, I personally researched various information on how to treat gingivitis, and found that improper brushing or excessive consumption of acidic foods can wear down tooth enamel and cause gingivitis. So, to treat gingivitis, I changed my toothbrush and brushing method.
I used to use a toothbrush with thick, firm bristles, but to prevent damage to my enamel and to treat my sensitivity, I switched to a thin, double-fine bristled toothbrush. Also, I used to brush my teeth vigorously, but to treat my sensitivity, I changed to a gentle, sweeping motion, from the gumline to the tips of my teeth.
And I changed the toothpaste to one that helps treat gingivitis by creating a protective film on the exposed dentin.
And the last thing I did to treat my lice was that I used to drink a lot of carbonated drinks, but I heard that consuming acidic foods causes lice, so I almost stopped drinking carbonated drinks.
I tried to treat my sensitivity by changing my toothbrush, toothpaste, and brushing method. Little by little, the sensitivity began to subside, and after about six months, it was almost completely gone. I plan to continue to diligently take care of my teeth.

- 02CommentsIf there are no issues with your teeth or X-rays, it could be a temporary symptom caused by fatigue or stress. You may experience throbbing pain if your gums are tired or if you have a habit of clenching your teeth while sleeping. Please brush your teeth with warm water, get plenty of rest, and monitor the situation a little longer. If the symptoms persist, I recommend getting a follow-up examination at a different dental clinic.441026.10.13

- 01CommentsYes, even if they look fine on the outside, it is a good idea to check old crowns regularly. Even if the crown itself hasn't cracked, cavities can form between the crown and the tooth, or the bonding can weaken, making it difficult to detect these issues just by looking. Especially for old crowns, it is advisable to check the edges of the crown, the condition of the gums, the presence of internal cavities, and the condition of the tooth roots and surrounding bone during regular checkups. X-rays can also be used for verification if necessary. However, there is no need to replace a perfectly good crown simply because it is old. If there is no pain, discomfort when chewing, food getting stuck, or swollen gums, many people choose to keep their crowns while monitoring their condition.555026.09.28

- 03CommentsYes, it is a good idea to check old dental prosthetics periodically, even if they look fine on the outside. Prosthetics like crowns or bridges may appear fine on the outside, but cavities can form on the inner teeth or the adhesive strength can weaken. If it were me, during a regular check-up, I would check for: cavities on the edges of the prosthetics whether there is any swelling or receding of the gums if there is any discomfort or pain when chewing and, if necessary, the condition of the tooth roots and surrounding areas using X-rays. I think I would check these things together.603026.09.28
