Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

Q: Gum Has Come Away From Tooth

I was brushing my teeth when I noticed some blood in the sink. So I was looked at my teeth, and I noticed that the gum between two of my teeth has come away, so to speak.

I can pull it away and underneath it's all horrible and red. It doesn't hurt but it feels really really peculiar.

I'm making an appointment with my dentist today, but can someone allay my fears somewhat? I'm terrified of losing my teeth.
