I have stage 4 periodontal diagnosed in 2021. It came as a complete shock as pre covid I regularly went to the dentist and was never told I had gingivitis let alone advanced gum disease. I did not cope well with the news and have struggled with dental phobias since.
Anyway my 4 bottom front have stage 1 mobility (one is worse then the others) and my dentist has recomended splinting due to my severe bone loss in this area. My gum disease is not stable at the moment I need another cleaning but I should have this done this year.
Turns out I have low jaw bone density and a genetic predisposition to gum issues. I am just about coping now with knowing about these 4 teeth however I now out of nowhere have a loose wisdom tooth root (most fell out decades ago) and a loose molar next to it. I'm happy to have the root pulled but my question is will the molar settle or will removal cause a domino effect of loose teeth? I don't think my mental health can deal with any more loose teeth and don't know what to do for the best!
