Bone loss: First the situation needs to be assessed to determine the reason for and extent of the bone loss. Can it be treated surgically or non-surgically. Will medicaments be necessary. Does the patient have the ability to maintain the treatment result. You should consult with your dentist who may decide to make referral to periodontist for treatment. Happy new year.
