I was told I had gingivitis and to have it treated- I haven't yet- but now some of my teeth are getting loose - I think it is too late to have this procedure done- I hate to have them pulled- too expencive - which I could pull them my self. Have any advice??

the longer you wait the worse they will get.

If you wait long enough you could get oral cancer. For Pete's sake, go to your dentist and pay the price. You have no options.

You could pull your teeth yourself but seeing as you already have oral problems, I would strongly advise against it~ if you ended up with dry socket (infection where your tooth was) you would really know about it and the cost of any remedial treatment would be a lot higher than the cost of extraction. Any good dentist covers their own work i.e any complications with the treatment would be rectified gratis. Go back to your dentist, they are the proffesional, thats why they spent all those years learning their trade. It may not be too late. In the mean time, take great care of your teeth! Keep your mouth clean, floss well, brush gently!
