If you have gum disease your gums would be swollen and pink/red. Root canel is for your teeth not gum. Simply brushing with toothpaste and flossing regularly are steps to keeping a healthy mouth.

Go to the local library to research gum disease or a county dental clinic and they have plenty educational booklets that they can give you.

Attend a health fair or go online to research gum disease and prevention. Both are free.

Regular brushing, flossing, and irrigation with water will help mild gum disease, but if it's severe, you really need to see someone. Sorry, there's no easy fix if it's advanced.

First of all a root canal is if you have infection in the tooth or if the tooth has had trauma. Since you are so young it is important that you start now with good hygiene habits. You can loose your teeth to gum disease that will lead to bone loss. First of all, brush your teeth very good with a soft bristle brush along the GUMLINE. That is the most important area to make sure you get clean. Set a timer if you have too, but brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. Be sure to floss to keep the gums clean in between the teeth where your toothbrush cannot get. Then, use Listerine mouth rinse. It is clinically proven to protect against the biofilm layer of bacteria on your teeth. There is a direct oral systemic link between gum disease & high blood pressure, heart disease, & diabetes. So start taking good care of your gums now before it goes any farther.
