What happens when teeth are rotten?
Hi venomredford, From what you are describing, it seems like the major problem your ex has is the gum disease, which is also called the periodontal disease. Poor oral hygiene due to poor home care and long-time negligence can result in gum disease. You also mentioned that he had no money. Therefore, I am asssuming he did not seek professional dental care for a long time. No matter how much one tries, one cannot get rid of the bad germs from growing into the hard to reach areas. It is also hard to prevent the tartar build up altogether. You will have to get that removed or eliminated by getting the professional cleaning done. Regular flossing and brushing cannot get the hard tartar off. Special tools are required to do that by the professionally trained dentists and hygienists. Once the hard tartar forms, that in turn harbors more bad germs and initiates local destruction of the bone. That gradually creates more gap between the gums and the teeth, resulting in more food and germ impacti
