Hi all,
Hoping someone has been in similar situation to me and could shed some light or give some advice.
I recently went back to the dentist after a 4 year gap (bold me). I was told I have periodontitis. During perio probing I had depths of mostly 2 to 5 with a couple of 7 and 8 at the back teeth. Xrays were taken also. Dentist told me I had 10 to 30 % bone loss and disease was rapid for my age (32) and he didn't think it was related to poor hygiene as my hygiene looked quite good and that there may be another cause. He suggested I see a specialist. He said I don't need a deep clean all over and just deep cleaned the pockets.
Has anyone experienced this? I am thinking now will it continue to progress rapidly even if I keep really clean. What else could be causing this immune response?
Thanks,
K
