How to treat a periodontal disease?

Q. One of my bottom teeth has become loose the whole of the length of the root is exposed and my gum has receded either side of it and if i rock the tooth the root pivots out of the gum there is no recession inside the mouth this is under the bottom lip can you give me advice on what to do i have to see my dentist on thursday but not sureif hes familar with things like this Thanks

A. Many thanks for your email, from the sounds of it the tooth has been subject to attack by periodontal disease. it needs to be taken out. the options after this are to 1: replace with a denture, 2: replace with a bridge 3: if possible replace with a dental implant.

hope this is helpful.

Root canal might work for one tooth but you might have another sensitive tooth. although its difficult to accept it might be worth loosing the worst teeth and replacing them with dental implants, before all the bone is lost.

Hello, It sounds like it is important for your friend to visit a dentist as soon as possible. The dentist can then refer he/she to a periodontist if neccesary and evaluate the treatment neccesary. The dentist can then prioritise treatment and secure his/her teeth for his/her future.
