    Or general teethy issues.

    Gums are killin', they bleed everytime I brush them (no matter how gentle I am with the tooth brush). I keep getting toothace everytime I eat something sweet.

    I don't wanna go to the dentist... for 2 reasons:

    1. I can't afford to at the minute.

    2. I hate them.

    Any suggestions on mouth wash/toothpaste that might help? I'd rather try something out first and then go to the dentist when I'm really desperate.

    *shudders* doctors.

    I'm falling apart... I killed my leg the other night round the town... I have a freakin' cold, my mouth hurts... I have several health issues that need looking at and I have lost half a feckin' toenail.

    Not good.

    sounds like gingivitis, buy some antibactieria mouthwash, keep brushing your teeth ( 2 times a day) eventually it will stop. if you dont it will worsen & you can get gum disease/periodontitis/loss of tooth.

    mild gingivits can be reversed, thats if it is this.

    sounds like gum disease... you need to get it sorted or you may end up with no teeth, it causes the gums to rot and teeth to just fall out... try using corsodyl you can get it from asda etc but you need to go to your dentists asap they will give you a scale and polish nly 16 quid its worth it as its probs a build up of tartar

    If your gums are bleeding it's an infection.

    I would go for antibiotics tbh...do you want your mouth to look like this :

    I don't want to be anything other than what I've been tryin to be lately
    All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
    I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
    Or who I'm supposed to be
    I don't want to be anything other than me
