As I have said I have gingivitis (Bleeding gums)

If I had to have my teeth removed because of the bleeding gums.
And I had enough money to have implants put in (teeth) (Is that possible)

Then would the gingivitis come back and have the same problem with the new teeth?

Thank you

Yes because gingivitis is a gum disease and it u put implants into infected gums they would just become loose and fall out. u would be worse off. go to a dental hygienist they will help u try and get rid of the gingivitis there is mouthwashes etc. but I'm sure u can get anti biotics for extreme cases. U should at all cost try and save Ur own teeth. good luck

First, gingivitis is treatable problem and even a twice daily mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide will reduce the infection, further care should be by a dentist. Secondly, removal of natural teeth should only be a last resort, and it is not a good option. Perhaps you need to visit a periodontist for a consultation about the cause of the problem...something is causing the friability of the gums and it could be that an increase in Vitamin C or a trace mineral would solve the problem. Some famous singer once said that if he had known he was going to live so long, he would have taken better care of his teeth...take good care of yours.

If it is gingivitis (inflammation of the gums caused by plaque), it is reversible. Your dentist can give you a deep cleaning. If it has progressed to periodontal disease, then there is no cure, your dentist can only control its progression. But it is very common so there are many effective treatments. If it is gingivitis, I don't see why you would need to have your teeth extracted. Even if it is extracted, putting in implants on unhealthy gums doesn't seem correct. And implants are expensive. Gingivitis is early stage of gum disease. See ur dentist. Most times you'll get a deep cleaning. Keep up with brushing thoroughly, flossing, and keep dental cleanings. Should see a huge improvement in your gums. Good luck! ;)

Why are you pulling your teeth???, IT IS YOUR GUMS THAT ARE SICK.

Get on an Anti biotic. Also get HYDROGEN PEROXIDE at the drug store. Swish and gently brush three or four times a day with it. You will be amazed what it will do to heal your gums. The brushing will get the bubbling action going down into the gum line.

Keep doing this DAILY until your gums stop bleeding, then do it morning and night forever to stay healthy..

I was prescribed this method by my dentist 40 years ago, am 66 and still have my original teeth and healthy gums. I still do it daily.

Take a really good multiple vitamin morning and night. Our gums get sick, because our bodies are not well. Stop junk food and eat as healthy as possible. Infections like sugar so stop sweets and try to get healthy.

Good luck you can save your teeth, get started today.

You'd have to be carefull, but I think that with proper dental hygene, you could avoid having the gingivitis come back. Talk to your dentist!
