A member asked:
Would you visibly be able to see bone loss in teeth? bottom incisors have shifted and i'm worried that could be a cause. (i do have bleeding gums)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek exam: You can't see bone loss with the naked eye, the bone is completely covered with gum tissue. If you are seeing gum recession, the underlying bone is receding. Bleeding is indication of gum disease (infection). Shifting is indication of bone loss. Please see your Dentist and ask if referral to a Periodontist is in order. You're too young to have all of these problems.
