I AM a woman aged 20 and very concerned about my teeth. I have had 10 of my teeth removed and I am still suffering from sores and rotten teeth.

Suffering and Sore

I am sure this is very painful for you. It is impossible for me to say exactly what has caused this problem.

Often problems with teeth are caused by a build-up of germs and bits of food that get caught in the skin around the teeth.

These germs cause the gums to swell and bleed.

The skin starts moving away from the teeth and they become loose and fall out.

The teeth also start to decay. This will cause you great pain.

This can be prevented by cleaning your teeth twice a day and if possible use dental floss or a toothpick to remove pieces of food from between the teeth.

I urge you to go to a dentist as soon as possible so that you can lead a healthy life.
