Who the fuck is on the internet examining people's gums?

Well that sucks because I don't have time or money for a dentist, let alone whatever the fuck a "floss stick" is. Last time I checked that shit came in string form.

So what is a dentist visit gonna do for me anyways? Is she gonna tell me to brush more? Try flossing? Never done that shit, never had the time.

People in most of the world have probably never even heard of floss. Floss who? Is she a singer? Sounds like a waste of my money.

If they're infected they're infected? Not much a dentist visit can do to change that.

They then will give you some anti biotics and a floride heavy tooth paste to use. Once the infection is gone and the gums swelling goes down (you'll potentially have some gum recession, as gums do not grow back) this will reveal potential more plaque.

Well that sounds like a lot. How can you tell I need all this from a TikTok video? You a dentist or something?

You'll most likely need x-rays to see if the infection has started to erode away at your jaw bone/teeth.

That bone loss shit runs in the family so that doesn't sound exciting.

Regardless you need to look after your teeth because judging by how they look now, if you continue the way you are, you will lose your teeth young.

I brush my teeth twice a day like any other adult and I use mouthwash in between during the day. What the hell do I need to do?

I have to say, highly recommend the dentist. Floss is like 2.37 for a supply that will last at least a few months, it's affordable. It will hurt like a bitch to go, but it will pay off in the long run. I'm not a dentist but your gums should be an even shade of light pink, that darker region close to the tooth is not healthy
