    Good tips on dental care..sick cakehole leads to overall poor health.. I was surprised when i moved to my area how many 20 year olds wearing dentures…id moved from a more progressive area where the whole city got dental care,,and if family broke you attended the University dental training for subsidized dental care.


    Share chewing the moose hide with your bride,,,thats why her teeth and gums are healthy.
    Old truckers were always grinding their teeth and ruining them…ive always carried gum since i started trucking…frequent benny users can ruin their teeth in a few years.

    Your point is well taken. Again, I didnt mean to wander down aimlessly a road to 'maybe'. I apolgize for the needless discussion on what other people in hypothetical nursing homes may or may not want.... that's another sideline topic in and of itself....

    To reiterate, mild gingavitis, the upper lining at the base of the teeth. No pain in affected area, some swelling just below the gumline. No fever. Some pus and blood when squeezed.

    The peroxide trick is great to avoid the complications. -itis means inflammation. There is yet to be a carie or other complication beyond redness. If losing teeth were my concern, I would have a much different title.

    'All sorts of specialties' does not improve quality of life. I'd rather lose a tooth than have unnecessary bone grafting and absurd procedures that some specialist has little or no data proving a success and guarantee benefit. Specialists serve quality of life like a salesman serves your best interest. Hard Pass.....

    but any further discussing on the matter is well beyond the scope of gingavitis Or this thread and sub-forum. If you want to continue the banter, we should proceed to the dreaded Politics section that is more appropriate for such repetitive and hypothetical pallaver.

    Vodka works as well as peroxide.
