Question:
Answers:
My wife got rid of her gingivitis (grey gums) by using the Melaleuca dental line of products. You can try this or get the prescription stuff from the dentist. My brother opted for this and lost 20 lbs because food tasted like c***.

Listerine. Yes! go to the dentist for a GOOD cleaning!
Go to the dentist for professional assessment and gargle with an oral antiseptic to relieve the pain a little.
Go to the dentist. They can give you treatments so your teeth don't fall out. The best over the counter medicine right now is directions to the nearest dental practice.
A dentist visit is strongly suggested if you have gingivitis.. Professional cleaning and diligent home care can keep you from other more serious forms of periodontal disease. If you really hate the dentist ignore it and your teeth will eventually fall out.. Get your teeth professionally cleaned and then be more diligent about brushing and flossing. Everyday flossing is what your dentist will insist upon but even a couple of times a week will greatly increase the health of your gums. Bite the bullet and see a dentist. You'll be glad you did.
You should see your dentist every six months, however, gingivitis can be eliminated if you floss daily and use a good rinse, such as Listerine.
You should go to the dentist so you can get a good cleaning. You should also use Listerine as it is an anticeptic and good for combatting tarter which is what causes gingivitis.
Please do not use Listerine as a remedy for your gingivitis. Use it as a permanet follow up treatment after getting a cleaning from the dentist.
The tarter will eat away your teeth as it is bacteria, and if you do not combat it soon, you will loose bone density in your teeth and in the end loose your teeth.
Good Luck
