Case Description
I was treated briefly for gingivitis two years ago. I've been out of work and taking care of a sick family member since then. I have noticed a space between my front two teeth that is brown colored. The gum between these two teeth also seems to be separating from the teeth.
When I had my first (and only) exam and they did the measuring all of the measurements were around 5 mm. I know this isn't healthy.
I'm not doing phenomenally financially but I need to have something done about my teeth.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
