In Jan. I noticed that a piece of my back tooth had fallen off. It didn't hurt or anything, so since I have no
insurance, I didn't really worry about it. A few weeks ago, a bunch more of it came off, and now the gum
underneath is exposed and painful if any pressure, i.e. chewing food, is applied. I've been gargling with
peroxide, listerine, and the usual tooth brushing at least twice a day, but now that whole side of my mouth
is very tender. I'm worried about losing all my teeth or something. I'm only twenty-two, way too young for
dentures. Any advice is welcome, but keep in mind, I basically have no access to dental care since I have
no insurance, hence no way to pay the doc.
