How likely am I going to need dentures/implants down the road if I have gum disease?
I have gum disease with tooth pockets of 3-5's mostly and 2 7's, but I have been brushing and flossing almost daily (right now my rate is at 92% of the days over the last 3 months). In mid-June I will have my first check up on my gums to see how they're doing.
I don't have any loose teeth.
I don't have any missing teeth.
If I continue to have regular check-ups and daily home care for my mouth, how likely am I going to need dentures or implants down the road?
My parents are in their 60's and don't have dentures (although my Mom has had a lot of work done and my Dad avoids the dentist when he shouldn't). My grandparents all had dentures from what I know.
Yeah I'm 30 and I'm worried about this... I know it wouldn't be so horrible, but I'm wondering if I should start saving now...
