Hi - sorry i've not logged on in a while - have had head in the sand.
I got told last year I had periodontal disease and I ran out of money to continue treatment over Christmas etc.
Here is my previous post:
I didn't really like the dentist I was with so what with moving house and not going back to the other one I moved to a dentist in Ealing. (actually - I'd totally recommend them - guy was understanding and nice - but you can't sugar coat my news)
I was close to tears whole time but they were nice too x-rays and stuff. My news is just awful though. He's referring me to hospital, possible surgery. I've got bad bone loss... 'extensive' he said. From all i've read (and i'm too afraid to re-look) this means I'll not be suitable for implants (even if I could afford them which I can't) so am really scared i'm going to lose all my teeth and have dentures at AGE 28. I don't smoke, hardly drink, have always cleaned my teeth and since the appointment last year i've bought a sonic toothbrush (£90!!) use it twice a day religiously...
I just feel like I can't win. I did the brave thing, I saw the new dentist, I could've coped with multiple root canal but this... its not cope-able with.
I feel disgusting, like i'm rotting from the inside... have told my mum recently which means i've now got to tell her about this one. She's so funny about teeth - so always up for pointing out how bad people's teeth are on TV and stuff, something i've only noticed since this all happened.
Has anyone had periodontal gum disease that sounds as bad as mine?
I know this forum is about teeth but everyone else on here seems to have partners and i'm single - how the hell am I going to attract anyone after this??? - i'm 28 and feel like my life is over.
Sorry this is such a pity party but i've no-one else to talk to and am crying my eyes out. I'm sure things will seem better later on - at least I hope so.

Root planning tomorrow - nearly in tears already - Updated Hi Firstly can I just say how relieved I am to find somewhere to get any support for how bad I'm feeling right now. I went to the dentist about 2 weeks ago and totally out of the blue was diagnosed with Periodontal gum disease. I've...
