I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease
Q. Hi Dr I’m a 26 year old guy a couple of months ago my dentist told me I have gum disease which really shocked me, main reasons been I look after my teeth so much I don’t smoke and as far as I’ve found out its not in my family history. Only 3 months after the dentist informed me of this I had to get a tooth at the back of the right side of my mouth taken out which my dentist told me was due to my gum disease I’m now really afraid now that I’ll be left with no teeth by my 40s which would be awful for me as I really take pride of my teeth and it’s always the first thing I notice in person. I’ve only just had my orthodontic braces removed 2 years ago and now this. What can I do to stop this gum disease or prevent it and what is the worst case scenario???? Many
A. You need to have a full examination and x-rays taken of your teeth, if you have gum disease it is reversible by improving how you look after your teeth. You may need to see a dental hygienist to improve the condition of your mouth. Ask your dentist to assess the amount of bone supporting your teeth as that is critical to the survival of your teeth.
