[h=2]Periodinitis : How long can I wait? (urgent)[/h]
Hey I'm super terrified. I'm 18 and the bottom row of my front teeth have become a bit loose (not incredibly so but I noticed it) and my gums are receding. It's Friday right now and I have an appointment with my dentist on Wednesday but it feels like no matter how much I use mouth wash or floss or brush it's not stopping the periodinitis and it feels like it might just be getting worse.

Can I not afford to wait until Wednesday? I'm not expecting my gums to magically heal from brushing/flossing/mouth-washing three times a day but I expected it to at least not get worse?

Also, I'm afraid to floss between the loose teeth. Any advice?​
 
a week won't matter.
Ask about how much bone you have actually lost.
 
@comfortdentist Thank you ;; I'll be sure to ask about that. Hopefully I haven't lost too much yet and the loose teeth can be saved. :shame:
