Hi All,
I was recently diagnosed with periodontal disease, I'm only 29 and go to the dentist yearly however when I went this year it showed up on an xray that I have severe bone loss in my bottom front canine
it's very mobile... I was referred to a periodontist who confirmed I have advanced periodontal disease mostly in my lower front. Other areas are the starting of periodontal disease so can hopefully be helped with some deep cleaning .. I have to go for a deep clean on the 7th and 8th of November, 7th one side and 8th the other side while doing a course of antibiotics. I am absolutely terrified and so depressed at the thought of loosing my front tooth and having to wear a denture for the rest of my life as nothing other than a denture is optional for me as the bone loss is so bad and also financiallyi cant afford a bone graft and i reckon it probably might not even be able to be carried out... I'm so afraid that my tooth will come out when carrying out the root scaling and planning as its loose already and has no bone to support it
anybody in a similar situation to me ? Will my tooth more than likely fall out during the deep clean as at the moment I feel its only the tartar holding it in ! Any advice welcome! Thanks for reading
