I ended up having to go to the dentist to fill my 8 cavities, and I couldn't believe I had gingivitis, too! I paid for it using "chase health advance" - good for absolute emergencies, it's basically a credit card but you get up to 24 months to pay off your balance interest free. If you can afford large monthly payments it may help you. But please, don't do that.
Instead, try something more natural with no chemicals. I've felt 2 cavities return, and my gum disease came back, so instead of going back to the dentist I did some research:
I found out that fluoride in toothpaste actually eats away at your enamel (as well as your bones when you drink it!) Look it up! And there's a coating in toothpaste that prevents your body from naturally restoring it's enamel, so you should BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH SOAP! That way you can thoroughly rinse off any residue and your body, if properly nurtured, can restore your enamel. You need calcuim in your diet.
I personally recommend "Dr. Bronner's" soap, they're 100% natural and organic, and if you get peppermint then it feels more like toothpaste you're used to. You only need a tiny bit because it's very concentrated, just be sure to rinse out your mouth 3 times after brushing.
Using this method, my gums have gotten tighter, more red and healthier looking; my teeth have gotten whiter and my cavities no longer hurt! PLEASE give it some consideration! I hope it helps you!!!
