I'm 14 and my teeth are so loose they're about to start falling out. Now what do I do?

The dentist said they're all my adult teeth, which I pretty much figured. But he also said most of my front teeth probly aren't saveable and a lot of the rest are doubtful. It's from advance gum disease he said comes from a variety of things, like hormone changes, and other stuff at my age, and not brushing very good or flossing and whatever. I know I probly could have done a lot to keep my teeth in better shape like brush better or whatever, but now that they'll be coming out very soon one way or another, is it like a really big turn off for guys? I mean worse than bad looking teeth? or the same as bad looking teeth.? I already have really bad looking teeth, so I know most guys are turned off by them. what will happen when they fall out or get pulled out tho? What will guys think then?

Reply:You need to have you parents check their insurance to see if dental implants are covered. If they are then consider implants. See your dentist again soon and discuss with him what options are available to help you and also what he needs you to do to help protect the teeth you still have.
Reply:Why are you asking this question again?
Reply:Get false ones and don't tell them unless they ask...what made you at such a young age, lose your teeth ??? Bad teeth are a turn off no matter what your age. Sorry...
Reply:consult to your parents.....
Reply:I have moderate periodontitis. I have a similar problem and now I have the same fears! I hope that I don't lose all of them! But, you should be talking about this with your dentist. There are porcelin veneers that you can have put in! Expensive but they look and feel like real teeth!
Reply:You need to take large quantities of vitamin C several times a day. By large I mean a total of 10 grams per day or more and not miss a day for at least a year or more.


Worked for me by following the advice of the late Nobel prize winning Dr. Linus Pauling.
Reply:I am a periodontist assistant... You need to brush at a 45 degree angle starting at your gums and floss getting under the gums. You can get treatment go to a gum specialist. it is not attractive to have no teeth and people can't keep dentures in. You can get treatment. I have seen people come in with loose teeth and the doctor has done wonders for him. A regular Dentist cannot save your teeth a Periodontal Dentist can... It is worth it. SOme people have surgery which sounds like oh my god. but it really is not bad... People say they do not have pain really...
Reply:well , brush,floss,and use mouthwash every morning and night this might help prevent your teeth from getting to loose.massage your gums lghtly with your toothbrush but not to hard.if they get any worse go back to your dentist and explain ALL about whats happening to your teeth and ask him what he advises.if he/she dosen't know you might want to change dentists.
