A member asked:

I have been suffering with gum disease for years and the dentist didnt listen now my teeth are loose and painful what can i do ?

Periodontist: Loose teeth may indicate loss of the bone that supports the teeth. Important that you see a gum/bone specialist, a Periodontist, ASAP. Delay will only allow progression of the disease. If your Dentist has taken X-rays within the last year take a copy with you.

See a specialist: I would suggest that you see a periodontist for a complete evaluation.
