Get your ass to the dentist right now. Gum disease looks symptomless if you don't know what to look for, and it makes all your teeth literally fall out by breaking down the bone in your jaw. Maintenance is a PITA if it goes too far. The few hundred bucks you'll pay today is nothing to the thousands you'll pay if you need to get things fixed the hard way.
Probably you're not at that point, but please go and check.
- alvah 9y agoCan confirm. I didn't bother going to a dentist for about 3 years in my late teens / early twenties (due to complacency as my childhood dentist in the UK was the laziest man alive & just sent me home every year saying "your teeth are great"). On my first visit to a dentist after moving to Australia I needed 8 fillings and had periodontitis, which has resulted in painful & expensive treatment every 6 months for the last 20 years.
