I don’t have periodontitis but I use an electric toothbrush and my gums held up way better to my dental hygienist’s cleaning than usual

Try using Crest's Gum Detoxifying toothpaste. Floss daily, and brush your teeth twice a day, especially before going to bed. Always rinse your mouth after a meal. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water often. It really depends how advanced your gum disease is. If it's still in early stages I think the above steps can help stop it in its tracks. For more advanced level disease, definitely consult with your dentist.

I have periodontis. I use Waterpik everyday in addition to string floss, and was told that once a week, add mouthwash to the Waterpik. I use variations of the Crest gum toothpastes. And I get my teeth cleaned every 4 months (3 if I regress which thankfully hasn't happened in a while). My former dentist did periodic irrigation but I'm starting to think it was the the equivalent of mouthwash+Waterpik. Hope that helps.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.
