Answers:
There's no way around your eventually needing to see a dentist. You really need to go or you will lose your teeth. Try putting away $5 per week for this. It's about $70 to see the dentist, so save up and call around for prices.
In the meantime, brush 2-3 times per day with a good toothbrush, floss 2ce per day (do a good job) and use Listerine mixed 50% with water once per day. That should help your gums until you can afford to get a deep cleaning from a dentist.Health Question & Answer

Why don't you apply for a low-income insurance like Medicaid.? There are plenty of them around, including some private ones with no/low premiums that work in conjunction with Medicaid. Dental school is another good option - I use one in New York - the NYU dental clinic (they charge less or it's mostly free with Medicaid).Health Question & Answer
for taking care of your teeth, you basically just need to brush at least twice a day and floss at least once.
