Hi all, I have had a day from hell, I had my first periodontist appointment and it was even worse than I expected. Bit of background first I haven't been to a dentist in 8 years. Last month I felt pain in my bottom front tooth the one right in the middle. Bit the bullet as I knew I needed a dentist but was always putting it off. Anyways I went to dentist who I could tell straight away was horrified by the level of gum disease.
She referred me to a periodontist and finally today after 2 sleepless weeks I got to meet him. Several x rays later the awful news hardly any if my teeth are salvageable. I have moderately severe periodontal disease and I need to make an appointment straight away to remove teeth I think he said Two bottom ones and one top front one. I am in bits from the outside my teeth look perfect I always brushed twice a day but always had ugly shaped teeth. I don't know what to do. I am a mom and on a budget and right now desperate. I will ring tomorrow to get appointment with dentist now again and see where to go from there. It's all so expensive my next periodontist visit us 500 € and another one two weeks later also 500 and then dentist costs, and that's not even going into the horror of loosing teeth and what do I replace them with..? Sorry for been a raving g lunatic I am frightened
