You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hi,
first off, you absoloutely have to get your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist so that you can start off with clean gums and teeth. If your gums have already progressed to gum disease you will not be able to get them healthy again without a dental cleaning first. If your teeth and gums have gotten bad enough, the dentist may have to do a laser cleaning which gets much deeper into your gums.

Then, once you have had your teeth cleaned, you need to be absolutely adamant about brushing your teeth 2 to 3 times a day AND flossing 2-3 times a day. Flossing is very important for healthy gums. You actually have a shot at regenerating your receding gums if you take very good care of them after your professional cleaning.

Make sure to ask your dentist if there are any specific toothpastes, or mouthwashes like products found at this site, http://www.ascendedhealth.com/gum-disease/ that are made specifically to help heal your particular gum disease and use them regularly. Their are also specific toothpastes like Sensodyne that are made for sensitive teeth and gums. Taking care of your teeth is a commitment,that means no more going to bed too tired to brush your teeth and it also means carrying dental floss with you wherever you go. Good luck!
