Hello.  I am very worried about my husband.  He is 25 years of age and is suffering from teeth and gum problems.  He says that they are just sensitive but I know there is more to it.  He has bad breathe, his gums bleed even under the slightest of pressure...due to the pain and bleeding of his gums he doesnt brush his teeth much.  I have also observed that for a few of his teeth, under their gums there seems to be a substance growing on them, it looks and feels like metal? I am sure the teeth are rotting but I am not sure.  What may he be suffering from and how can we help him? I am worried because he is so young and I know that teeth and gum problems can initiate heart problems...
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bad breath and the bleeding gums can be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits over the teeth.  The bad breath can be because of the pus discharge secondary to periodontal abscess. You are right, the hard deposits on the inner aspect of the teeth are nothing but the calculus(hard deposits), these deposits makes the gums weak, and they will recede, this will expose the dentin on the root surface and cause sensitivity. Nothing to be panic, consult a periodontist and get the teeth cleaned (scaling and root planing). After getting, you teeth cleaned, maintain oral hygiene and use mouth wash. Nothing to worry about heart problem, it is not related to that. Consult the dentist and get it treated as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
