Treatment for gum disease?

my cousin has a huge problem with his teeth atm. i think it is a either the effects of gingivitis happening or periodontitis. she said her healthy gum layer is almost deteriorated they've become "straight" instead of that shape you see gums hold teeth into (they have receeded?). he's got black stains all over with cavity holes and it's only until recently that it's begun to hurt.

he's never been given candy or fast food, so i believe it is in his genetics that her teeth are in this condition. he's going to check the dentist soon, but it's quite expensive right now unless he can get the benefit from his school. what are some ways he can ease the pain or help fight the disease? O_O; thanks!

SADLY, THIS IS TYPICAL WITH PERIODONTAL DISEASE. THIS CONDITION IS CYCLICAL. IT HAPPENS IN VARIOUS DEGREES THROUGHOUT LIFE. THIS IS NOT A GENETIC PROBLEM, BUT IF EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY HAS POOR ORAL HYGIENE THEN THE RESULTS WILL BE SIMILAR FOR ALL.
FOR THE PAIN HE CAN TEMPORARILY TAKE ADVIL (IBUPROFEN), HE REALLY NEEDS TO SEE A PERIODONTIST TO BEGIN TO TREAT THIS CONDITION.

Bad gums are not a genetic thing. It's from lack of flossing and taking care of them. Just because we brush doesn't mean we take care of our gums. It is very important we take care of our gums, as this can also lead to heart disease. Your cousin needs to get this fixed ASAP. Easing the pain is hard to do - but I would recommend Naproxed (Aleve), as it works for 12 hours. Follow the directions on the bottle and good luck to him!

Sounds like your cousin might be experiencing "Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis" (ANUG). This happens because of a combination of tartar build up and high levels of stress. This condition wipes out the gum that usually points up( or down) between the teeth, giving the gums a straight appearance. This requires dental treatment, of tartar removal and antibiotics
