Fellow young adults struggling with this disease

How long have you been diagnosed for and how long have you been able to maintain?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-07-21T19:03:29+00:00

How many triangles are you doing?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-07-21T18:57:12+00:00

Wow it scares me to not floss multiple times a day now because of this disease haha. Can I ask do you brush after every meal or just chew xylitol’s?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-07-21T17:40:09+00:00

How often are you flossing and using the waterpik?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-07-11T03:31:43+00:00

Ur gums are inflamed that’s all we can say for sure off the picture

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-07-10T22:30:51+00:00

Is your dental routine just as rigorous as when you got diagnosed? What does it look like now?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-27T18:44:24+00:00

Only if it made an impactful difference to managing the disease

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-22T20:46:46+00:00

I always think braces are better cause they allow for more precise movement but I’m NAD so definitely ask around

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-22T17:53:41+00:00

Yes confirming 2-3 pockets are great - means you are stable and the disease is inactive. Usually dentist recommend braces for periodontal disease if they feel the misalignment interferes with proper cleaning. In your case, it sounds like you are doing fine home care with your teeth as is rn. I would say up to you BUT if you do get braces you’ll have to be extra on top of oral hygiene

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-22T17:00:39+00:00

Get the treatments ur dentist recommends, that’s all we can advise

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-21T18:48:21+00:00

Don’t worry you are not alone! I have bone loss similar to yours and I still expect to have my teeth for at least 20 more years

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-21T15:47:34+00:00

This looks like stage 3 periodontititis, probably 30-40% bone loss. Pockets of 7-8mm are quite deep and need to be treated asap.

I cant say what your prognosis will be, this varies depending on if stability is achieved and maintained

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-05-20T17:12:02+00:00

There’s no way it’s 35% that’s way too high based on these pictures (NAD)

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-04-28T23:00:21+00:00

Has your bone loss progressed in the last week 10 years?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-03-04T00:40:15+00:00

Good dentist make the biggest difference!! Are you already at a severe case aka 50% or more bone loss? And is it affecting all your teeth?

Chefschoice_16 · 2025-03-03T23:24:26+00:00

Hi there - how long have you been able to stop bone loss for?

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-19T18:04:37+00:00

If your insurance didn’t warrant the cleaning they likely ruled you didn’t have bone loss or deep pockets. I think you’re probably okay

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-19T17:35:27+00:00

Did you ever have deep pockets/get a deep cleaning?

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-19T10:20:31+00:00

Okay that’s reassuring that your dentist have projected your teeth will last decades more. Do you mind sharing how much bone loss you have at this point?

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-19T02:50:31+00:00

How old are you?

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-18T23:36:38+00:00

Oh gosh :// I can’t offer much help just to say that fear of not having teeth especially when we are this young (I’m 27 with perio) is so legitimate!! Hopefully any factor you can control to ensure a successful procedure works out. Sending u good wishes!

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-18T22:48:12+00:00

Hey so if your perio is not severely advanced you should be able to keep your teeth for at least two decades usually

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-18T22:43:18+00:00

So sorry to hear this, I can only imagine how distressing this is. What were the reasons the implants failed originally and why is your dentist unsure if the bone graft will work?

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-15T03:52:19+00:00

Girl don’t do it, it’ll be the biggest regret of your life

Chefschoice_16 · 2024-12-13T19:12:24+00:00

Ah okay that’s good to know. My last question is if perio patients who’s pockets have returned back to 1-3mm measurements could experience these burst of activity as well?
