A member asked:
I have gum disease and i have 2 teeth that are a little bit loose, i cannot afford a dentist for now is there any remedy that i can use at home to tighten them like oil pulling, salt water or anything. i'm desperate?

I understand your concern but dental issues need to be treated by a dentist. Seek help from a local hospital that has a dental department or UPR in San Juan. Either should provide you with low cost care. Failure to treat will result in the loss of those teeth.
