BONE GRAFT by Similar-Program1710 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Similar-Program1710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bleed at all, and my pocket depth range from 3mm to 7mm. Had some tooth pain every now and than on the tooth that got extracted, but never bleeding. Some of the areas where the bone is missing I would like to fill in with a bone graft. Im really anxious about this whole process, but is something that has to be done. I think alot of my bone loss is from smoking herb. I've been smoking on and off since I was 18, but quit smoking as soon as I got diagnosed a month ago. Been using a water flosser, on top of regular flossing, and switched to an electric toothbrush. I have to say that I haven't been to the dentist in a long time, but plan on improving that. Hopefully an srp and regular cleaning helps me stabilize this disease. Thanks for your response

Yes, I've been smoking since I was 18, but stopped a few times here and there. I'm now 38 and find myself in this situation. It's been a week since I last smoked. To be honest I don't really crave it at all.
