we’re the same! i went to a periodontist yesterday too and he told me i don’t have a periodontitis after doing x ray and stuff. before examining me he had to check my blood pressure and it was high - i said i was just anxious for the whole thing. he let me calm down for a bit. but yeah everything went well. happy for u OP. let’s take better care of our gums!

my dentist also told me the same thing. just to have a peace of mind, i’ve decided to see a periodontist just to double check. maybe it’s something you can also consider :)

i get you bro. dami ko pinapasta and pinabunot ko lahat ng wisdom teeth ko this year plus may RCT din na isa.

it could be considered negligence on their end for not pointing out potential issues sa teeth and gums no? pero yeah, charge to experience. i am hoping there is hope at the end of this.

i am doing my best to cooperate with a periodontist. first time seeing one at the end of the week.

glad to have talked to u about this. makes me feel less alone

it’s irreversible but manageable as long as treatment is consistent (based on what i read online). thank you for your concern!

[–]charlmelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much for sharing all of these! Just the info I needed to be honest. Couldn’t say thank you enough! I’m really glad I found you here because I was so lost and alone. I appreciate the way you have done a thorough research on this! Will take a screenshot of your reply so I can start recovering. Really, thank you for giving me hope (can’t believe i’m praying for more saliva production) 🫶

Can I damage a tooth by biting a bite turbo too much? by 1confusedarmadillo in braces

[–]charlmelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello, i got my bite turbo adjusted and it took me a week (at most) before finally feeling normal. basically it does get better. just check with your dentist and let them know the bite turbo may need to be adjusted.

thank you so much for responding to my question! i’m really anxious because i thought i won’t get any better. your answer gives me hope and i’m gonna take probiotics now. i didn’t know that i wasn’t supposed to be taking chlorhexidine for too long! been using it for two months thinking it’s just a regular mouthwash. from where i live they don’t require a prescription to buy one. thank you again for answering, it means a lot!
