Hello. First of all, I want to tell everybody here that I completely understand what you all are going through. I finally cured my BB and have promised myself to tell others my story in hopes of helping. I suffered from BB since I was 16 yrs old. I always went to the dentists, they said everything was healthy. THroughout the years, I have visited Neurologists, GI doctors, Allergy doctors, ENT doctors, and nobody helped me. They once gave me Flagyl which totally helped and for 2 weeks I was the happiest person alive. Then , the BB returned and I was even more devastated. I was told I have soo many different things and when I did everything nothing helped. Then one day, after 14 yrs of having this plague, I noticed a TINY hole in my gums. Very small and in the back of my throat.. I paid no mind to it, and just learned to live with it. Then , I started realizing that I felt like that hole was full of tiny particles, so I went to the dentist who always told me I have a healthy mouth. I told him and he said " you dont have a hole in your gums, youre just imagining the feeling" . I KNEW I WAS NOT CRAZY! I demanded he take a closer look, and then he checked the xrays and said, OH MAYBE this little one???? I was like YESSSS what is it? He said ' Oh that is a gap that forms when your wisdom teeth have grown in, so food gets stuck in this little gap since the tooth brush cant brush back there... THEN since food is stuck there for God knows how long, it forms a cavity in that wisdom tooth..and since it isnt treated, that tooth starts to rotten." I was like WHAT????? how long have I had these teeth. He said they usually grow in around 16 or 17 years of age!!! IT ALL CLICKED!!!! I asked him why he never mentioned my wisdom tooth might be a problem. He said well many people have their wisdom teeeth bc it doesnt bother them, and many people take them out once they start to hurt or something. So i demanded I have them removed. He said since it is not an emergency, I will have to wait about 2 months for the next appt. I went crazy and spoke to everybody at the office, I was so upset and well, point is, they told me to come in the next day for a checkup with the ORAL SURGEON! So, i went it 8AM the next day, and guess what>? They removed my teeth within an hour! It was the most horrible pain I ever experienced, but hey I was convinced this would fix my problem. After the surgery, my BB was EVEN WORSE THAN EVER!! the doctor said I had a SEVERE infection due to so many years of having this cavity in the tooth, and eventually letting it rot! I was afraid bc that BB was still present. I went back 2 weeks to take out my stitches, and guess what>???? My BB WAS GONE!!!! He said the infection was no longer present, and I had the healthiest gums he had ever seen! ( Well, after brushing almost 10 times a day bc of the horrible BB I had for 14 years, I would hope so)! And now, 3 weeks after surgery, my mouth feels so clean and refreshed and I couldnt be happier. SO, for some of you, try and see if you have your wisdom teeth. Many older people still do, and for some it might be a problem and for others not so much. And these wisdom teeth usually come out between 16 or 18 yrs old or even around 21yrs. But since mine were partially erupted, is what the problem started. people, go to your dentist and ask if you still have your wisdom teeth. Some people never grow theirs, so just check. and if you do, then THAT MIGHT BE YOUR PROBLEM!!!!!!! DEMAND TO KNOW AND IF YOU HAVE THEM< THEN REMOVE THEM! I promise you, it will change your life. It changed mine! I am happier than I have ever been, and even planning my 30th Birthday Party with all my friends, which I had not done in YEARS bc of my horrible BB, I had to stay away from everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you GOD, and I hope my story can help others. Take care and GOOD LUCK!
