Periodontist: Have a local periodontist evaluate your condition and advise you of which teeth can be saved and if any need extraction.

See your dentist: Gum disease is a threat to your oral and general health. The good news is treatable condition. If not treated, the bones, gums support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be extracted. See your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.

Periodontist: See a periodontist for an evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. Discuss your concerns and options.

Perio Disease: First understand what has led you to this unfortunate place. Commit to better general health, better oral hygiene, routine dental exams & cleanings. Second, see both a Periodontist and a Restorative Dentist (General Dentist or Prosthodontist) who together as a team can go over your options for restoring your mouth to better health, function and aesthetics. Think long term and value and not just $.
