A member asked:
How much bone loss around teeth is considered normal? do i start losing teeth right after some bone loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone loss: Bone loss is not normal. Seek a complete explanation, prevention and treatment with your own dentist (or Periodontist) and do not rely on internet searches or even this website for a comprehensive discussion of the subject.
