The problem is not just bein informative. Alot of dentist are not sending patient for treatment. They want to bill for extraction but not try to prevent the main problem. Basic cleanings dont mean anything if u kep having bone lost. i had braces for 5 years. i have had this problem since i was 14 with braces my ortho didnt say anything. but now as an adult im losing teeth. Alot of people just play dentist but actually want u to keep losing teeth so they keep billing you for different stuff. Dentures implants vaneers. wht they are doing if wrong, Its only getting worst. i have to keep looking for away to fix this problem. I have had 2 many opinions. no one wants to send you to perio early if they know you NEED it. Smh. Its a BUSSINESS first
Yeah I went to the periodontist and he wants $10,000 to do the LANAP LASER on my gums which it kind of freaks me out cuz it doesn’t look too fun to do plus that’s A LOT OF MONEY, that I don’t have so I had to get approved for CARE CREDIT but not sure if I can afford the payments.! Just wondering if I should get a second opinion but my teeth are rotting and gums inflamed from my leaky gut! It’s so hard trying to find a Dr from all fields of medicine that truly cares and wants to help you!!!! Not kill you!!!
@@buckie48192 it's like being a mouse, and the health professional are all cats 😁 I can't understand that. The LANAP is just shooting a laser around the base of your teeth. It should only take about 20-30 minutes. How can it be $10,000? Have you tried rinsing your mouth with oil everyday?
@@chadkline4268 I do oil pulling but not regularly which is bad on my part. Okay it costs $9,985.00 to be exact. Dr Nemeth, He’s a periodontist in Southfield Michigan. He has video’s on YT that’s how I found him. And the procedure from what they told me takes about 3 hours but that is probably including them cleaning or scraping my teeth before the procedure and they will give me an IV to sedate me. I don’t want to do it, but not sure there is hope for something else. My gums are swelling up in different places and the gums are filling in some of the gaps between my teeth and I have cavities at the base of quite a few teeth and it’s shocking to see how rapidly they are decaying and couldn’t figure out why but then watching video’s I found that leaky gut can do this. I first got diagnosed w/leaky gut about 7 yrs ago. I think it went away in about a year but not positive cause here I am with it again but I was fine for yrs until about a year and a half ago. And when you don’t have much money it’s hard to find help.
Love your video. My new dentist recently noticed a 9mm deep pocket with 50% bone loss behind my #31 tooth. I had a 12 mm pocket in the same spot 11 years ago and had to get my wisdom tooth removed behind it. I'm assuming they dealt with the pocket when the tooth was removed. Maybe my bone loss happened back then? I'm wondering how this didn't show up on my x-rays and they only noticed it on the third visit! Especially since it didnt show on my previous x-ray. Could bone really degrade 50% in a year? I rarely have bleeding gums (depends on diet) and never sensitivity and they always tell my teeth are great looking. Such a downer to hear I might have to do something now. not sure if I should look into Lanap or gum flap surgery? to be honest, if whatever I do requires deep cleanings every 3 months for the rest of my life, i think ill just get it removed alltogether. Until I go to the perio, I have completely changed my diet to only natural non-processed foods, probiotics, oil pulling, waterpick with iodine. I'll see what happens. I cured a cavity once this way. Maybe this will heal up as well.
same babe ,im thinking ill get them all pulled out, so sad. i have best teeth all good but bad breath last 2 weeks is so bad , i cant live with it , nope , not paying all that for the rest of my life. do dentist even take out all your teeth if you ask them to if there perfect looking white all straight all fine looking , but bleeding gums last few days , but the smell thats the worst part. iv never in my life. oh once i met a guy who smelled the same, his breath . poor guy, i felt so sad for him, never been so grossed out that i am now him, it smells the same. i cant even deal.. i wonder if once the teeth are gone, will the smell be gone to
@@cheanarchist2381 the breath is supposed to be from the same infection that is causing bone loss and gum recession. I dont have the breath issue either. I'd definitely go tot he dentist if you have that since an infection can turn into worse. best of luck to you
I have several autoimmune disorders and now my rheumatologist tells me something is brewing she has not pinpointed it yet. I’m anemic when my iron drops then the hemoglobin starts going down I have to get iron infusions and at times I have to get a unit of blood. I have lupus anticoagulation factor five problems. I’m on a boat load of meds. Half of my teeth have no enamel on them due to taking doxycycline as a baby. I’m ashamed of the way my teeth are looking yes, some have came out other at some point going to fall out as well. Now to my question given all the problems I have now is one reason my teeth are all jacked up? I have always been good about brushing my teeth and still brush them.
Thank you, very informative. What is the blue substance that is used to treat gum disease? I saw it online somewhere, some time ago. Also, why can't the disease be treated with antibiotics? Curious...
@@joshuamaswanhise4702 If it's an infection, it must be treated via antibiotics, (or partially with antibiotics) The blue stuff must have an antibiotic property in it...hmmmm??? It's probably cheap and not for the general public to have knowledge. It is not like we want to go dental surgeon on ourselves, we would just like to know, loHimalayan
@@joshuamaswanhise4702 @Joshua Maswanhise If it's an infection, it must be treated via antibiotics, (or partially with antibiotics and some other dental blah blah ) The blue stuff must have an antibiotic property in it...hmmmm??? It's probably cheap and not for the general public to have knowledge. It is not like we want to go dental surgeon on ourselves, we would just like to know, LOL. I elected the Laser surgery. It's expensive but worth it. Meanwhile, Himalayan Pink salt stops the bleeding gums. Be careful if you have high blood pressure.
Is it good to put dental fillings where the gum receded ? I have already done it, however, want to remove the fillings do laser treatment and let heal itself. I have around 10 filling on top.
I wish I would have come across this video a couple years ago, when I was first told I had gum disease and needed deep cleanings. I assumed I was being sold something I didn't need having no pain, nothing visible wrong to me, not knowing anything about it, or about what I'm looking at on X-rays, or what those numbers mean when they stick you.. No one even attempted to explain this. It got worse. This video is very educational and easy for regular people to understand. Everyone who is told they have gum disease should watch it.
It is sinful how little most dentist inform you, how little they empower you, they don't care at all, "come back in 3 to 6 months and we will do another cleaning" so sad, I pray for them, I hope their souls wake up and they gain empathy and start helping people like this man
I've been waiting for a video from you on this subject because I was diagnosed with gum disease in August and was shocked to hear that because I have excellent home care ( Brush 2x a day for at least 2 minutes each time, floss 1x a day, use a water pik, and at night I use 2 different types of toothbrushes to ensure that I get my teeth clean and yes I change my toothbrush or toothbrush head every 3 months). I have kept every 6 month appointment for the past 30 years. I have had a handful of cavities in the past 56 years and did not have my first cavity until I was 29 years old. Because I take such good care of my teeth, I could not understand how I could have gotten gum disease. I was told that 50% of patients diagnosed with gum disease is genetic. So, for some of us, it doesn't matter how well we take care of our teeth we are genetically predisposed to get gum disease. I didn't have any bleeding, pain, nor were my gums inflamed. I did get a second opinion and even a third opinion before proceeding. I am glad I did because what you just explained has helped me reaffirm my decision as to how to get this treated.
hey barbara. im very excited that this content was able to help you affirm your decision. just let me know if i can come up with anymore relevant videos. you can always shoot me an email. best of luck!
Thank you very much for your great help amd explanation of this issue and help me understand what is the problem and how to approach the solution and great video about LANAP too. Keep up the great content 👏 and appreciate your efforts for people's wellbeing and health.
I finally can understand periodontal disease through this thorough and straightforward explanation, this teaching is also helping me to choose the right dentist, thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for this detailed video! Recently diagnosed with moderate gum disease myself, have had a deep clean on all 4 quadrants and have been absolutely stressing over it since. I don’t fully trust that the perio has my best interest at heart based on a few things and I think that your video has helped confirm that, so will be getting a second opinion for sure ! You’ve explained more to me in a free 20 minute video than my perio did which has so far cost me an arm and a leg
This is the first time that I realized bone loss refers to the bone surrounding the roots and not the roots themselves. When looking at my xrays I was kind of reassured I could see my roots so well, now I realize - that's a bad sign!
Periodontal disease is an inherited response to the soft plaque and toxins deep along the root surfaces of the teeth. **Even with great home care** deep pockets develop and are difficult to reach and require different treatment than a 6 mos prophy. In conjunction with Periodontal Therapy, hygienists offer nutritional counseling and oral hygiene instruction. Periodontal disease is common in those suffering from other autoimmune diseases. But keep up the good work at home! You can slow the process and keep your teeth (and whole body) healthy from this chronic inflammatory disease. We don’t scam you- We went into health because we care about people. ❤
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I have an appointment for a periodontal consultation in 2 weeks and I am now going there as a very informed patient. I feel so much better now that I have a good idea what's going on with my gum condition.
I recently had the LANAP procedure done about a week ago. I have some pockets as deep as 11 and 12. My periodontist wanted to extract a couple of teeth but I opted to try to save them.
I've been suffering with feeling sick-ish, system wide, like sinuses to gut, not a flu but feeling kind of yucky with mildly infamed sore throat, for at least 6-9 months.. Going in for sore throat, my dr suggested oral antibiotics but without a clear dagnosis and fear of disrupting my not-great gut, i declined. He directed me to swish with salt water 4xday. I just had a teeth cleaning (gums are mostly at 4's with a couple 3's and 5's) and am flossing regularly for 1st time. I'm realizing now my system wide yuckyness may be coming from my inflamed, infected gums. I'm going to look into LANAR. I hope it's not too late to reverse my overall health.
Thank you for your honesty. It’s much appreciated. I got so tired of mistakes being made in in my procedures then being told it needed to be redone that I withdrew from the programming….. now I need to find an independent biological periodontist with honor in Florida. Wish me luck.
I went to a dentist and she told me I needed intensive deep cleaning in x3 sessions and I had mild bone loss. I was not convinced and went somewhere else and they said my teeth were fine no bone loss but had to get a one session deep clean as I did have bleeding gums and need to get the cleaning under control control and they would check it in 3 months time. My teeth are now fine as all I need to do is brush properly and floss. So glad I got a second opinion. Great video.
So , the dentist will NOT suggest perio cleaning visits if the patient has any disabilities like, Depression symptoms & he or she is grieving daily & on meds that cause her or him to be forgetful daily. Unable to promise to being accountable, responsible, DEVOTED, able to keep a schedule to do daily CLEANING of gums & teeth. The patient is not able to CONCENTRATE on routine chores, & hygene CARE, due to forgetting to look at a CLOCK daily. Grief, depression disorders Prevent memory to choosing to be devoted to maintaining cleaning SKILLS of her gums ??? Guess it makes sense ,now. Yet, perhaps, SHE COULD HAVE AVOIDED developing FIBROMYALGIA SYNDROME, & Chronic FATIGUE Syndrome disability is n 1996 forward. Not pleasant. Concentration was more difficult as the years progressed. Guess she wouldn't have been able to prevent the periodontal disease from coming back. At least, she did her best to change her food diet to healthy raw juicing plants to try to figure out how to overcome the CHRONIC FIBROMYALGIA & EXCESSIVE FATIGUE syndrome. Perhaps that diet CHANGES SLOWED down the GUM Disease?? Dentist never did discuss anything with this patient person about treatments. Just, if i asked is the pockets less deep now ?? Been paying attention to reducing the depth of the pockets with herbs, & anti-inflammatory pain relievers, & mult- vitamins supplements daily. Looking better??? The pockets did become less deep ( shallow ) oh joy! Clean, clean, & warm mineral water rinses. 😂💡⚖️👍👍🏆🤓🤓🌞🤓🔬🤓💡⚖️
I have moderate periodontitis, and I have laser surgery in the UK at a private clinic .After my treatment, I will continue to brush my teeth, like my religion. Very informative video. Thank you. Sometimes you know you need that treatment, but dental treatment is very expensive almost everywhere in the world. Thank God I got enough savings to start my treatment.
I was just diagnosed with early stage periodontitis (mostly 4s and 3s with a few 5s and 2s) and I was slightly surprised because I see very little tartar above my gums besides a couple trouble areas. This is truly a lesson that there's always more hiding under the surface, literally and figuratively. But then again I have only been to the dentist a few times in my life, last time being over 10 years ago. I've also suffered from chronic depression for a good portion of my life which of course affects various forms of hygiene. But I have improved all of my hygiene habits over the past 5-7 years and even lost over 100 lbs. But I know that that is no substitute for proper dental visits and cleanings. I also have always had a hard time flossing because my teeth are extremely tight against each other. It hurts my fingers more than anything and those floss picks DO NOT fit between my teeth and I've tried them all. If they do they're shredded after two teeth.) It has actually gotten easier over the past year and I'm realizing that's a bad sign. Lol. Over the next month and a half (every Wednesday-- my only day off) I'm having a deep cleaning (2 appts because that's what my insurance requires) about half a dozen fillings (2 appts), 5 teeth extracted (all 4 wisdom teeth plus a broken/rotted molar in front of one of the wisdom teeth). Also TBD either a crown or root canal on another molar with advanced cavity. It's going to cost me almost $4k but I was approved for $3k on CareCredit. It's gonna be tough paying it off but I'm pretty confident that I was properly diagnosed and given a good treatment plan. I actually ENJOY going to the dentist but it's just so expensive and easy to put off. But I know I'm investing in my overall health and I'm honestly lucky I'm not worse off.
What they tell you the next steps were ? I have the same problem as you and I’m going to start going every 4 months for a cleaning . Hope you stay up with your visits 😊
I had two experiences. I went a chain dental office that sees many Medicare/Medicaid patients because had a dental HMO and no one else would take it. They did the exam and didn't clean my teeth and said I needed a full mouth scaling for over $300 and wanted to charge me $50 for the rinse that is $5 at the Walmart pharmacy! I always got cleanings twice a year. I went to another dentist and I just had one pocket that needed deep cleaning and that was done. Later this new dentist diagnosed me with periodontal disease but didn't tell me. I had on side done (didn't know I needed both sides done). When I went to get my prophy I was told had to get deep cleanings with numbing before I could get my prophy. Since the diagnosis was listed and there m was no go around. The deep cleaning never happened for over a year because my BP was always too high because of how they were treating me. I switched dentists again (when I switched to a dental PPO) and they recommended 2 extra cleanings a year which don't cost that much. I love my new dentist and they tell me what is going on before they record a diagnosis or suggest a procedure.
Does periodontal happen when we date a potential mate or mates in our Teens , Twenties, or 30's. ???????? Please ALLOW US KNOW WHEN? &. WHERE DO THESE BACTERIA COME FROM????
Part of my right mouth is swell due to high blood sugar i changed my diet real quick my blood sugar is 8.3 my average number 5.3 for my blood sugar people take care of ur health
I went to a new dentist today, he suggested me to do a periodontal treatment. He said if I do not do what he recommended, he will not want me to be his patient. I decided just run as fast as I could.
Hygienist here! Great video detailing periodontal disease. Learned some descriptors that I can use with my patients. Also glad you clarified that you didnt place that implant !!! Woah!😮
Thank you for making this video! And thank you for the tips! I am sure most Dentists are good, but there are definitely some out there who are just looking to make money.
Great video, thank you! However, who truly knows if you are not a dentist? Patients are at the mercy of the dentist conducting the exam, For the most part? Again, great information!
Yah I didn't get dental insurance untill I was 30 or so... my gums bleed since I was a kid...I could always remember I could suck and spit out a mouthfuls of saliva and blood on demand.. the dental hygienists that was stinking that purine. To torture me... Calling out a 3v4 5 and 6 along with the tooth like Bingo didn't seemed concerned atall about it....Gingivitis must be rampant .... de test . Tell me I need regular cleanings wrung my dental insurance covers.. but I need to have deep cleaning or om going to lose my teeth.. .oh wow that's vas.. how much... .over $700 ... that's like almost 2 weeks of pay....wtf. Well we still need. To do regular cleaning.. without my insurance $300 plus. But because you have insurance from your work.. it only cost you $125 only... you save a lot of money...because of your work provided insurance...t. isnt that good?? Oh yah , it's even better because I ll save 100% because I don't get paid enough to use this insurance I was dlso waiting for.... .. .. I finally was able to get a deep cleaning... newv patients coupon for new den5al office..$500 cash.... ididnt have any insurance of any kind mm. ... so I didn't want to lose teethm.. what I wasn't told was afterwards.. my gums may not reattach to my teeth afterthe deep cleaning.m.. then one but one y tee5hwill bevlcome losedobtobthe pardoning destroying bone and gums not supporting the stability teeth .plus the open pockets will allow more food to enter the octets creating more bacteria to further advance the bone lost and the teeth..... Well that would have been I was told before s8nce it ws known I couldn't afford continously treatments.... if that happens I'd been better to wait til I could.... welll ...I've had about 4 extracted.. 1 came out without any blood or effort. .. I currently have idk. 6 or m9te rockers that need extracting obviously...likey losing them all.....all I'm told is to come in for deep cleaning....that's what didnt dud but hurt things.......never have had a cavity ever....... processed food vetting pushed into the gum teeth started gingivitis...flossing won't remove that debris solid unprocessed food it gets rather well..... had we a water pick.... growing up... ....might have prevented processed food pushed in6o the gum and teeth....neglected as child due to single parent home the problem .... doubtful any studies even ask that question or consider it when looking for root causes for society issues..
hi! I’m a little confused between what has been told to me about the ability to stabilize gum disease. If periodontal treatments are given and the patient practices good oral hygiene, is it likely that gum disease can be stopped from getting any worse and the bacteria goes away? Or can gum disease only be slowed down using these methods? I have moderate periodontitis and mostly have 5s, 4s, and 3s when probing - a little bone loss as well.
slowed down, he said there is no cure crying right noe, iv had bad breath for 2 wks , & clearly have it, i wont to kill myself. i cant live with stinky breath like this
@@cheanarchist2381 I've just been told I have stage 3 gum disease. It was a shock because I brush my teeth 10-15 minutes twice a day and often use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. I've just bought some Corsodyl medicated mouthwash (nb. do not use for more than 30 days at a time) and searching the internet for other solutions such as the 'gum disease diet' etc. some people swear by oil pulling. There are all sorts of things to try, so please research this subject, and treat yourself to a dental hygienist cleaning asap.❤
In your experience as a doctor, do people with untreated bite disorders such as cross-bite, have higher chances of developing gum periodontal desease? I would really appreciate your answer.
You do not name the bacteria-why do you not? Are there no antibiotics which destroy the bacteria? If a patient has osseous surgery, how good are the chances that the problem is permannetly solved, assuming the patient practises good hygiene after surgery? "There is no cure for peredontal disease" Is that your last word on peredontal disease?
This is awesome. If possible can you make more videos like this and teach us how to read the X-rays. This can really help when I discuss my isuue with my dentist. I really don't get how doctors who are willing to harm patients for money. Doctors's career are pretty much set and have very good income already.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery I know doctors prescribe growth hormone to senior citizens to help rebuild and strengthen their bones and some articles mentioned it can also help with teeth structure. Of course I don't have the expertise to know what is factual except putting my faith in the author and try to verify it with experts in the field. We need education on preventive care and healing in a natural way by our body. Put a bandage on a wound should be our last option because it will create other problem for us. Nowaday, advertisements are very deceptive about their products, so can you educate us on these products and if they actually work. Product like stannous toothpast, sodium flouride, etc... I keep hearing about flouride being toxic when you swallow it while brushing BUT then in one of the articles I read, you have swallow a few tubes of toothpaste for it to be fatal.
@@sinnieleeonUtube I don’t use fluoride toothpaste because of many published articles that show proof that fluoride is detrimental to human health. Hitler used it on the concentration camps on people so right there, you know it’s not good. It makes people docile so that’s What they wanted in the camps is people to not try to rebel and try to fight their captor’s.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery I have a 35 year old filling that fell out. I doubt there is enough tooth to drill+refill again because there's pain, sensitivity inside the tooth. Root canals seem to be disasters. What should I do? Just pull it out?
@@sinnieleeonUtube stannous is better. Sodium is used because it results in whiter teeth, but they are not as protected as well in comparison to stannous (tin) fluoride. Do not swallow toothpaste. Trace amounts are OK.
Thank you doc for replying ! I know this will end with dentures or implants very frustrating as rest of my family all got amazing teeth my siblings all mid 50s my mum had teeth into 80 s but not so for my dad or his sister so I got genes from that side 😔
no problem. yeah if you know you have a losing battle with perio disease it may be best to just look at implants now and save yourself the time and money
I do have perio disease bad on bottom, it is not the first time and you, being a dentist, would know why , there are such issues. I have been to the dentist and was told the bone on top is not good but bottom is healthy. Thank you
Yeah I got my dad’s genes I suppose he had all his teeth pulled when he was in his early forties. But I also have had leaky gut 7 yrs ago and maybe it never truly healed as I have it now and my teeth are rapidly deteriorating sadly! I have deep deep pockets and scared of what it will take to save teeth or whatever. I’m going for appt for Perio to tell me what his plans are and I bet it will be so costly for lanap that I doubt I can afford it 😢
Thankyou an excellent presentation.... I went for a second opinion yesterday, first dentist said extract 4 and do a bridge... I was in absolute shock, yesterday was told extract 9 teeth and have dentures, I know it’s quite selfish of me but I feel traumatized.. I never ever thought I’d ever have to wear dentures ... it’s so very upsetting .... I recommend never ever ever neglect your teeth, take care of them while you can ... Thankyou doctor
I recently found your videos as I have been recommended to see a periodontist due to a loose tooth. I have a suspected vertical fracture on a molar and my margin was a 5. I was devastated as I did not feel I would ever be visiting a periodontist. But, your videos help me to know your scopes of work are not always so scary. I do wish that you were in my area. I currently have an appointment but have been waiting over a month and have a few more weeks to go before my appointment. My tooth is shifting and just went for my regular cleaning and now my dentist says the margin is 9 on that tooth. It has changed in a short amount of time. Would you have any recommendations for periodontists in Orlando, FL? I have been doing my own search to find another periodontist that might be able to see me sooner, but really it's like throwing a dart at a dartboard.
Dear Doctor Daniel Choi, please do make videos about Periodontal Abscess and which cases need Periodontist treatment as opposed to unsavable tooth extraction option only left and Oral Surgery and Implants. Also please explain which Dentist to see for trying to save the tooth with a root canal and bone loss and abscess under the root canal: is this savable by Endodontist, Periodontist or only extraction by Oral Surgeon or Periodontist... (and expensive Implant). Also, which doctor is best for Implants which should fit in the overall previous orthodontist teeth alignment...
Is it possible to do bone graft around the lower incisors that had extreme bone loss after a mistaken aggressive intrusion in a Ortho treatment? (No tartar, bone loss just caused by the orthodontic intrusion)
Can you please explain how someone who does not eat sugar or anything food that turns to sugar and has excellent oral habits gets gingivitis. My mom was a dental assistant and dental hygienist until I was 28. I use a sonicare toothbrush, waterpik, waxed floss and dental brushes. Inflammation in my gums make no logical sense
Very informative! And such a pleasant video about a not so pleasant subject! And I’ve never seen such a detailed explanation of the Lanap procedure. Such a helpful video.
I had periodontal disease and they charged me outrageous prices... I found it cheaper just to go to my family doctor he prescribed me doxycycline I switched to a CPC mouthwash and I switched to a stannous fluoride toothpaste... I also mouthwash with salt water with a pinch of baking soda.... and I also gargle with diluted peroxide.... I was on high dose doxycycline for 7 days and then lower to 50 mg for 3.... months and now my gums are healthy and beautiful
Oh God. Please come to New York. I will find you an office, promote & market you, and pack your schedule. We need people like you. If you would consider a move, I'm in an area outside NYC that is highly congested with NYC residents who left the city. I also have a connection to my dear friend who is a magnificent NYC restorative dentist who would be an amazing partner to join with (she may consider it.) Please, if you're interested, respond to this and I'll contact you directly.
Thank you very much for this video, Dr. I wish I could have seen this video before i go to the dentist. Most dentist here always ask if like to do extraction other than through explanation. They shall explain the conditions and the options to the patient and shall followed by the the recommendation depend on the stage and also shall it be tooth extraction is at last if real necessary. But, now. extraction is done and later will need to implant again. Without implant, what will happen again please?
Also now that I understand that bone loss is about the bone between the roots, not the roots themselves, I'm realizing what's behind 2 comments I heard this week: a friend saying that her lower jaw is shrinking, forcing her teeth to crowd, which she observed, just happens with age. And my hygienist saying that with time, our teeth tend to move to the front (and crowd). In both cases, I now can see how bone loss would lead to these outcomes. So dangerous to let gum inflammation go unchecked as the underlying bone is apparently dissolving.
I have no insurance and I REALLY need help. Are there any programs i should look in to or any help available?? Ive had a broken molar for 5 years now. I really want to save my teeth and my smile. I was told I have severe bone loss. It’s been freaking me out😭😭😭
@@SalsaCharms sorry i dont know anybody in orlando. if you have severe bone loss you should look into dentures or implant supported dentures, all on 4 down there. best of luck!
Try to find out if there’s a dental school that does work for the public, in your area. Their work will be supervised by an experienced Dr., but cost much less than an established dentist. My sister did that when she was in college and couldn’t afford a regular dentist.
Hello, if you don't mind, I would like to add my two cents in the hopes it will help you or someone else. Most communities have dental clinics that work on a sliding scale fee. You should check with your local or state public health department. Also, some dental schools offer service at a lower charge. I had dental work completed at the NY Dental School. Don't we all wish this wonderful dentist close to us? Thank you so much for the information and education doc!
Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed with gum disease last month. I had a deep clean quite a few years ago. I now look after my gum. I 🙏I'm not too late to slow down the bone lost🙏
I have gum disease and its been going on for years ..i have an appointment for cleaning. But im pissed because the staff didnt give me any tips on how to treat this situation from day to day.. This is why im watching youtube now!! Im having bleeding gums and my teeth are shifting. Im using the Paradontax toothpaste and mouth wash...❤thank you. Sir for your help and insight!!❤❤
I went to get diagnosed for peridontal disease because ive noticed gum loss, went in got a scaling, and a root canal, was asked to be shown how to floss properly i was never taught as a kid, they ignored my request and tried to force me to get my fillings fixed right away, was not very happy. im now down 1300 dollars.
Have you seen patients reverse their own gum disease that were at the 6 mm level with home care? Were they just super hyperconscientious about their hygiene other observations?
Are you in Fort Worth?? I’m searching for a knowledgeable and non-upcharging dentist to treat what I’m told is periodontal disease but it’s a struggle finding a trust worthy dentist. Also not interested in fluoride.
I wish I could have saw this earlier, this information is really helpful and I do believe I was overcharged for the procedure I received. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Dr Emovon. Your generosity towards my bad breath and acid reflux is incomparable, you assured me of getting healed just within 2 months and it was so. Thanks a lot Dr Emovon on RUclips I will keep letting the world know about your good work and about your RUclips channel🌿🌿🌿
Hi I just visited the dentist the told me I need deep gum treatment, then later on the hygienist came back and told me that my insurance won’t cover it and the total cost will be $10,000 which would include Invisalign I don’t have that money and I really need help😢
Do you know of a good trustworthy, honest periodontist in Albuquerque NM? Have pockets from 2 to 7. Just a couple of 5, 6 and one 7. The rest are 2, 3 and 4's. They want to do a root scaling/planning on my entire mouth. Right top and bottom first on the same day then later top and bottom left. Bone loss and gum receding. I floss, water pick, brush and tongue scrape, and warm salt water rinses daily. I'm a fanatic about cleaning my teeth and faithful about my every 6 month dental cleanings. They say could be genetic. I could use a second opinion but not sure who to go to here In Albuquerque for a second opinion.
This is whats happening to me now, so how do you get a second opinion from another dentist without make an appointment for one thing and then having them say they have to do xrays to see what I am talking about. Because I can't ask for my xrays from my dentist to get the second opinion, and then he says their right I need what they say I need done, but what will happen when I go back to my dentist and say ok do the work that needs to be done, and they refuse to because I went out and got a second opinion first. And is my insurance going to pay both dentists?
Thank you! I was told it was best for me to get all my teeth removed and get a ALL 4 to a tune of 53,000.00, Yes, I have some bone loss but I was told I was a candidate for implants. I think I will try the Lazor.
That's so expensive! How are you doing now? Was laser surgery an option? I'm being told I need bone grafting: 4 teeth for $3k. I'm sure there's more to be done after that. Sigh...
Thank you immensely for this video. Your delivery is detailed enough to get a handle on the subject and I feel better about what my options may be. My goal is to be thoroughly informed and to discuss my periodontal situation with my periodontist in order to pave the way for treatment on an ongoing basis. You have contributed to the achievement of this goal. Warm greetings to you from the Southwest.
Thank . Estoy informándome de todo. Despues de un curetaje y pagar mucho dinero, Tecnica de cepillado manual en las encias, cepillos interdentales, después hilo dental y irrigador bucal con 6 partes de agua por 1 parte de listerine sin alcohol. Eso por la noche. Por la mañana al levantar un poco de bicarbonato en boca y enjuagar con agua. Después del desayuno lavar.
Great v doc I am suffering with advance gum disease now most teeth loose moving away from bone and gum bleeding. No matter cleaning it’s genetics. It’s puffy sore my teeth gone long both top and bottom bite is off looking back It’s crept up in 2011 but I’m desperate to not let go of teeth as I can chew eat etc but my smile means people see my dropped teeth looking uneven.
Are there any home remedies that one could use for advanced periodontitis to try and prevent it from worsening? I've tried many different kinds of toothpaste and they are quite abrasive, mostly ones that contain the ingredient stannous fluoride.
I was in need of a deep clean. I had a real bad experience at the dentist once and thought I would try something at home to see if I could reverse my minor problems. I had mostly 3s, 4s and a 5 but no bone loss. I researched it (you might have to search for it) that a combination of baking soda, aloe vera, salt, warm water and lemon juice break down calculus if treated daily. A water pik is most important to "pressure wash" it away and get down in there under the gum. At first it did bleed a little but so will getting teeth scaled and planed. A month later or so I went back to the dentist and the 5 became a 3 and the 4 a 3. I use this mix as a mouth wash AND in my water pik. I then follow up with a shot of ACT to freshen my breath.
While I’m waiting for The laser surgery, I am using Himalayan pink salt 3x daily, recommended mouthwash, brushing & flossing… bleeding stopped. I’m not sure if all the bacteria is gone… but… it’s worth a try to slow the bacteria down while awaiting… Let me add, I use Sodium bicarbonate Along with the salt solution. Try not to swallow it if you have high blood pressure🎉 Best of luck
Thank you so much very good information and I just found out I have gum disease and Dr want me to do deep clean n more gonna cause me $2,119 if I remember correctly amount dr. want to charge me plus I have medicare only. But my gum doesn’t hurt are bleed. I’m very easily to have tartare those. I gonna get second opinion from my old dentist.
All those years I have been to dentist no dentist ever stated to me black and white that tartar and plaque left untreated will cause tooth loss. Also is it the jaw bone that is being lost? Needs clarification
The common acronym now is FBI's floss, brush, irrigation, and sanitize instruments. With Brushing your tongue a key step in the process. Could you add or comment on this prevention process?
The problem is not just bein informative. Alot of dentist are not sending patient for treatment. They want to bill for extraction but not try to prevent the main problem. Basic cleanings dont mean anything if u kep having bone lost. i had braces for 5 years. i have had this problem since i was 14 with braces my ortho didnt say anything. but now as an adult im losing teeth. Alot of people just play dentist but actually want u to keep losing teeth so they keep billing you for different stuff. Dentures implants vaneers. wht they are doing if wrong, Its only getting worst. i have to keep looking for away to fix this problem. I have had 2 many opinions. no one wants to send you to perio early if they know you NEED it. Smh. Its a BUSSINESS first
👍
👍 yes, it's a very big problem. Same with attorneys and MDs.
Yeah I went to the periodontist and he wants $10,000 to do the LANAP LASER on my gums which it kind of freaks me out cuz it doesn’t look too fun to do plus that’s A LOT OF MONEY, that I don’t have so I had to get approved for CARE CREDIT but not sure if I can afford the payments.! Just wondering if I should get a second opinion but my teeth are rotting and gums inflamed from my leaky gut!
It’s so hard trying to find a Dr from all fields of medicine that truly cares and wants to help you!!!! Not kill you!!!
@@buckie48192 it's like being a mouse, and the health professional are all cats 😁 I can't understand that. The LANAP is just shooting a laser around the base of your teeth. It should only take about 20-30 minutes. How can it be $10,000? Have you tried rinsing your mouth with oil everyday?
@@chadkline4268 I do oil pulling but not regularly which is bad on my part.
Okay it costs $9,985.00 to be exact.
Dr Nemeth, He’s a periodontist in Southfield Michigan. He has video’s on YT that’s how I found him. And the procedure from what they told me takes about 3 hours but that is probably including them cleaning or scraping my teeth before the procedure and they will give me an IV to sedate me.
I don’t want to do it, but not sure there is hope for something else.
My gums are swelling up in different places and the gums are filling in some of the gaps between my teeth and I have cavities at the base of quite a few teeth and it’s shocking to see how rapidly they are decaying and couldn’t figure out why but then watching video’s I found that leaky gut can do this.
I first got diagnosed w/leaky gut about 7 yrs ago.
I think it went away in about a year but not positive cause here I am with it again but I was fine for yrs until about a year and a half ago.
And when you don’t have much money it’s hard to find help.
Thank you for making this easy to understand.
Thanks for this. I want to be an informed patient.
glad to help
Love your video.
My new dentist recently noticed a 9mm deep pocket with 50% bone loss behind my #31 tooth. I had a 12 mm pocket in the same spot 11 years ago and had to get my wisdom tooth removed behind it. I'm assuming they dealt with the pocket when the tooth was removed. Maybe my bone loss happened back then? I'm wondering how this didn't show up on my x-rays and they only noticed it on the third visit! Especially since it didnt show on my previous x-ray. Could bone really degrade 50% in a year?
I rarely have bleeding gums (depends on diet) and never sensitivity and they always tell my teeth are great looking.
Such a downer to hear I might have to do something now. not sure if I should look into Lanap or gum flap surgery? to be honest, if whatever I do requires deep cleanings every 3 months for the rest of my life, i think ill just get it removed alltogether.
Until I go to the perio, I have completely changed my diet to only natural non-processed foods, probiotics, oil pulling, waterpick with iodine. I'll see what happens. I cured a cavity once this way. Maybe this will heal up as well.
Yes it is so disheartening and upsetting financially to be told and need regular deep cleanings. 😢
@@lolllpainy6746 yeah I would not want to have to keep getting deep cleanings ugh!!!
same babe ,im thinking ill get them all pulled out, so sad. i have best teeth all good but bad breath last 2 weeks is so bad , i cant live with it , nope , not paying all that for the rest of my life. do dentist even take out all your teeth if you ask them to if there perfect looking white all straight all fine looking , but bleeding gums last few days , but the smell thats the worst part. iv never in my life. oh once i met a guy who smelled the same, his breath . poor guy, i felt so sad for him, never been so grossed out that i am now him, it smells the same. i cant even deal.. i wonder if once the teeth are gone, will the smell be gone to
@@cheanarchist2381 the breath is supposed to be from the same infection that is causing bone loss and gum recession. I dont have the breath issue either. I'd definitely go tot he dentist if you have that since an infection can turn into worse. best of luck to you
I have several autoimmune disorders and now my rheumatologist tells me something is brewing she has not pinpointed it yet. I’m anemic when my iron drops then the hemoglobin starts going down I have to get iron infusions and at times I have to get a unit of blood. I have lupus anticoagulation factor five problems. I’m on a boat load of meds. Half of my teeth have no enamel on them due to taking doxycycline as a baby. I’m ashamed of the way my teeth are looking yes, some have came out other at some point going to fall out as well. Now to my question given all the problems I have now is one reason my teeth are all jacked up? I have always been good about brushing my teeth and still brush them.
Thank you, very informative. What is the blue substance that is used to treat gum disease? I saw it online somewhere, some time ago. Also, why can't the disease be treated with antibiotics? Curious...
My question too
@@joshuamaswanhise4702 If it's an infection, it must be treated via antibiotics, (or partially with antibiotics) The blue stuff must have an antibiotic property in it...hmmmm???
It's probably cheap and not for the general public to have knowledge. It is not like we want to go dental surgeon on ourselves, we would just like to know, loHimalayan
@@joshuamaswanhise4702 @Joshua Maswanhise If it's an infection, it must be treated via antibiotics, (or partially with antibiotics and some other dental blah blah )
The blue stuff must have an antibiotic property in it...hmmmm???
It's probably cheap and not for the general public to have knowledge. It is not like we want to go dental surgeon on ourselves, we would just like to know, LOL.
I elected the Laser surgery. It's expensive but worth it.
Meanwhile, Himalayan Pink salt stops the bleeding gums. Be careful if you have high blood pressure.
the blue stuff is called gengigel i think :) (at least in the uk)
@@Peter-ve6gz thanks. Will research 4my own knowledge
Is it good to put dental fillings where the gum receded ? I have already done it, however, want to remove the fillings do laser treatment and let heal itself. I have around 10 filling on top.
I wish I would have come across this video a couple years ago, when I was first told I had gum disease and needed deep cleanings. I assumed I was being sold something I didn't need having no pain, nothing visible wrong to me, not knowing anything about it, or about what I'm looking at on X-rays, or what those numbers mean when they stick you.. No one even attempted to explain this. It got worse. This video is very educational and easy for regular people to understand. Everyone who is told they have gum disease should watch it.
It is sinful how little most dentist inform you, how little they empower you, they don't care at all, "come back in 3 to 6 months and we will do another cleaning" so sad, I pray for them, I hope their souls wake up and they gain empathy and start helping people like this man
You are honest,I wish all Dentist could be like you...thank you 🙏
I've been waiting for a video from you on this subject because I was diagnosed with gum disease in August and was shocked to hear that because I have excellent home care ( Brush 2x a day for at least 2 minutes each time, floss 1x a day, use a water pik, and at night I use 2 different types of toothbrushes to ensure that I get my teeth clean and yes I change my toothbrush or toothbrush head every 3 months). I have kept every 6 month appointment for the past 30 years. I have had a handful of cavities in the past 56 years and did not have my first cavity until I was 29 years old. Because I take such good care of my teeth, I could not understand how I could have gotten gum disease. I was told that 50% of patients diagnosed with gum disease is genetic. So, for some of us, it doesn't matter how well we take care of our teeth we are genetically predisposed to get gum disease. I didn't have any bleeding, pain, nor were my gums inflamed. I did get a second opinion and even a third opinion before proceeding. I am glad I did because what you just explained has helped me reaffirm my decision as to how to get this treated.
hey barbara. im very excited that this content was able to help you affirm your decision. just let me know if i can come up with anymore relevant videos. you can always shoot me an email. best of luck!
Thank you very much for your great help amd explanation of this issue and help me understand what is the problem and how to approach the solution and great video about LANAP too. Keep up the great content 👏 and appreciate your efforts for people's wellbeing and health.
Wow
Same here 56 yrs old…always tooth care constantly
Thank you great explanation
Thanks for talking more about the business side of dentistry which can unethical! Very informative video.
glad to help!
I found this video just scrolling and what a blessing to see this explained so well. Thank you
can grinding during the night cause gums to become red and hurt?
no
I finally can understand periodontal disease through this thorough and straightforward explanation, this teaching is also helping me to choose the right dentist, thank you so much!
Where does the bad harmful bacteria COME FROM ????? 😢😢😢
Sugars
Thanks a lot for this detailed video!
Recently diagnosed with moderate gum disease myself, have had a deep clean on all 4 quadrants and have been absolutely stressing over it since.
I don’t fully trust that the perio has my best interest at heart based on a few things and I think that your video has helped confirm that, so will be getting a second opinion for sure !
You’ve explained more to me in a free 20 minute video than my perio did which has so far cost me an arm and a leg
This is the first time that I realized bone loss refers to the bone surrounding the roots and not the roots themselves. When looking at my xrays I was kind of reassured I could see my roots so well, now I realize - that's a bad sign!
Periodontal disease is an inherited response to the soft plaque and toxins deep along the root surfaces of the teeth. **Even with great home care** deep pockets develop and are difficult to reach and require different treatment than a 6 mos prophy. In conjunction with Periodontal Therapy, hygienists offer nutritional counseling and oral hygiene instruction. Periodontal disease is common in those suffering from other autoimmune diseases. But keep up the good work at home! You can slow the process and keep your teeth (and whole body) healthy from this chronic inflammatory disease. We don’t scam you- We went into health because we care about people. ❤
I appreciate your honesty. So nice to find an honest Dentist who has a conscience 🙏🤗
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I have an appointment for a periodontal consultation in 2 weeks and I am now going there as a very informed patient. I feel so much better now that I have a good idea what's going on with my gum condition.
I recently had the LANAP procedure done about a week ago. I have some pockets as deep as 11 and 12. My periodontist wanted to extract a couple of teeth but I opted to try to save them.
How was the healing process?
Did your pockets shrink?
I've been suffering with feeling sick-ish, system wide, like sinuses to gut, not a flu but feeling kind of yucky with mildly infamed sore throat, for at least 6-9 months.. Going in for sore throat, my dr suggested oral antibiotics but without a clear dagnosis and fear of disrupting my not-great gut, i declined. He directed me to swish with salt water 4xday. I just had a teeth cleaning (gums are mostly at 4's with a couple 3's and 5's) and am flossing regularly for 1st time. I'm realizing now my system wide yuckyness may be coming from my inflamed, infected gums. I'm going to look into LANAR. I hope it's not too late to reverse my overall health.
Thank you for your honesty. It’s much appreciated. I got so tired of mistakes being made in in my procedures then being told it needed to be redone that I withdrew from the programming….. now I need to find an independent biological periodontist with honor in Florida. Wish me luck.
You got this!
@samg.r.4387, Can you share me the doctor? I would like to check those biological periodontist too. Thanks.
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to create the presentation, you explain things very well.
Glad it was helpful!
I went to a dentist and she told me I needed intensive deep cleaning in x3 sessions and I had mild bone loss. I was not convinced and went somewhere else and they said my teeth were fine no bone loss but had to get a one session deep clean as I did have bleeding gums and need to get the cleaning under control control and they would check it in 3 months time. My teeth are now fine as all I need to do is brush properly and floss. So glad I got a second opinion. Great video.
So , the dentist will NOT suggest perio cleaning visits if the patient has any disabilities like, Depression symptoms & he or she is grieving daily & on meds that cause her or him to be forgetful daily. Unable to promise to being accountable, responsible, DEVOTED, able to keep a schedule to do daily CLEANING of gums & teeth. The patient is not able to CONCENTRATE on routine chores, & hygene CARE, due to forgetting to look at a CLOCK daily. Grief, depression disorders
Prevent memory to choosing to be devoted to maintaining cleaning SKILLS of her gums ???
Guess it makes sense ,now. Yet, perhaps, SHE COULD HAVE AVOIDED developing FIBROMYALGIA SYNDROME, & Chronic FATIGUE Syndrome disability is n 1996 forward. Not pleasant. Concentration was more difficult as the years progressed. Guess she wouldn't have been able to prevent the periodontal disease from coming back.
At least, she did her best to change her food diet to healthy raw juicing plants to try to figure out how to overcome the CHRONIC FIBROMYALGIA & EXCESSIVE FATIGUE syndrome. Perhaps that diet CHANGES SLOWED down the GUM Disease?? Dentist never did discuss anything with this patient person about treatments. Just, if i asked is the pockets less deep now ?? Been paying attention to reducing the depth of the pockets with herbs, & anti-inflammatory pain relievers, & mult- vitamins supplements daily. Looking better??? The pockets did become less deep ( shallow ) oh joy! Clean, clean, & warm mineral water rinses. 😂💡⚖️👍👍🏆🤓🤓🌞🤓🔬🤓💡⚖️
I have moderate periodontitis, and I have laser surgery in the UK at a private clinic .After my treatment, I will continue to brush my teeth, like my religion. Very informative video. Thank you. Sometimes you know you need that treatment, but dental treatment is very expensive almost everywhere in the world. Thank God I got enough savings to start my treatment.
More Advertising on the radio and on Billabroads. Your oral health is the most important thing.
I was just diagnosed with early stage periodontitis (mostly 4s and 3s with a few 5s and 2s) and I was slightly surprised because I see very little tartar above my gums besides a couple trouble areas. This is truly a lesson that there's always more hiding under the surface, literally and figuratively. But then again I have only been to the dentist a few times in my life, last time being over 10 years ago.
I've also suffered from chronic depression for a good portion of my life which of course affects various forms of hygiene. But I have improved all of my hygiene habits over the past 5-7 years and even lost over 100 lbs. But I know that that is no substitute for proper dental visits and cleanings. I also have always had a hard time flossing because my teeth are extremely tight against each other. It hurts my fingers more than anything and those floss picks DO NOT fit between my teeth and I've tried them all. If they do they're shredded after two teeth.) It has actually gotten easier over the past year and I'm realizing that's a bad sign. Lol.
Over the next month and a half (every Wednesday-- my only day off) I'm having a deep cleaning (2 appts because that's what my insurance requires) about half a dozen fillings (2 appts), 5 teeth extracted (all 4 wisdom teeth plus a broken/rotted molar in front of one of the wisdom teeth). Also TBD either a crown or root canal on another molar with advanced cavity. It's going to cost me almost $4k but I was approved for $3k on CareCredit. It's gonna be tough paying it off but I'm pretty confident that I was properly diagnosed and given a good treatment plan. I actually ENJOY going to the dentist but it's just so expensive and easy to put off. But I know I'm investing in my overall health and I'm honestly lucky I'm not worse off.
What they tell you the next steps were ? I have the same problem as you and I’m going to start going every 4 months for a cleaning . Hope you stay up with your visits 😊
I had two experiences. I went a chain dental office that sees many Medicare/Medicaid patients because had a dental HMO and no one else would take it. They did the exam and didn't clean my teeth and said I needed a full mouth scaling for over $300 and wanted to charge me $50 for the rinse that is $5 at the Walmart pharmacy! I always got cleanings twice a year. I went to another dentist and I just had one pocket that needed deep cleaning and that was done. Later this new dentist diagnosed me with periodontal disease but didn't tell me. I had on side done (didn't know I needed both sides done). When I went to get my prophy I was told had to get deep cleanings with numbing before I could get my prophy. Since the diagnosis was listed and there m was no go around. The deep cleaning never happened for over a year because my BP was always too high because of how they were treating me. I switched dentists again (when I switched to a dental PPO) and they recommended 2 extra cleanings a year which don't cost that much. I love my new dentist and they tell me what is going on before they record a diagnosis or suggest a procedure.
Does periodontal happen when we date a potential mate or mates in our Teens , Twenties, or 30's. ???????? Please ALLOW US KNOW WHEN? &. WHERE DO THESE BACTERIA COME FROM????
It's so hard to know who to trust out here. Wish you were based out of Arizona.
Thank you for sharing. Truly most of us don't understand the bone loss is the reason we loose our teeth.
I learned a lot from you Doc. I can feel that good heart of yours. Thanks.
I appreciate that
Part of my right mouth is swell due to high blood sugar i changed my diet real quick my blood sugar is 8.3 my average number 5.3 for my blood sugar people take care of ur health
I went to a new dentist today, he suggested me to do a periodontal treatment. He said if I do not do what he recommended, he will not want me to be his patient. I decided just run as fast as I could.
get those gums cleaned that's the first step
I truly appreciate the time you have taken to create this video!

How much to just do 4 teeth please because some dentist are just for money making , Am just sick of some of them
4 teeth for what?
I agree. I had a dentist bill me for a projected, futuristic procedure. This dentist is in Georgia. I wish North Texas DS was in Georgia...
Oh Lord have mercy..! It's horrible..!
Thank you for making this video! And thank you for the tips! I am sure most Dentists are good, but there are definitely some out there who are just looking to make money.
I totally agree!
Great video, thank you! However, who truly knows if you are not a dentist? Patients are at the mercy of the dentist conducting the exam, For the most part? Again, great information!

Yah I didn't get dental insurance untill I was 30 or so... my gums bleed since I was a kid...I could always remember I could suck and spit out a mouthfuls of saliva and blood on demand.. the dental hygienists that was stinking that purine. To torture me... Calling out a 3v4 5 and 6 along with the tooth like Bingo didn't seemed concerned atall about it....Gingivitis must be rampant .... de test . Tell me I need regular cleanings wrung my dental insurance covers.. but I need to have deep cleaning or om going to lose my teeth.. .oh wow that's vas.. how much... .over $700 ... that's like almost 2 weeks of pay....wtf.
Well we still need. To do regular cleaning.. without my insurance $300 plus. But because you have insurance from your work.. it only cost you $125 only... you save a lot of money...because of your work provided insurance...t. isnt that good??
Oh yah , it's even better because I ll save 100% because I don't get paid enough to use this insurance I was dlso waiting for.... .. ..
I finally was able to get a deep cleaning... newv patients coupon for new den5al office..$500 cash.... ididnt have any insurance of any kind mm. ... so I didn't want to lose teethm.. what I wasn't told was afterwards.. my gums may not reattach to my teeth afterthe deep cleaning.m.. then one but one y tee5hwill bevlcome losedobtobthe pardoning destroying bone and gums not supporting the stability teeth .plus the open pockets will allow more food to enter the octets creating more bacteria to further advance the bone lost and the teeth.....
Well that would have been I was told before s8nce it ws known I couldn't afford continously treatments.... if that happens I'd been better to wait til I could.... welll ...I've had about 4 extracted.. 1 came out without any blood or effort. .. I currently have idk. 6 or m9te rockers that need extracting obviously...likey losing them all.....all I'm told is to come in for deep cleaning....that's what didnt dud but hurt things.......never have had a cavity ever....... processed food vetting pushed into the gum teeth started gingivitis...flossing won't remove that debris solid unprocessed food it gets rather well..... had we a water pick.... growing up... ....might have prevented processed food pushed in6o the gum and teeth....neglected as child due to single parent home the problem .... doubtful any studies even ask that question or consider it when looking for root causes for society issues..
Thank you for your honesty and dedications. Great insight regarding gum treatments.
glad to help people understand whats going on
I just cannot listen to someone constantly saying "SO" so so so
hi! I’m a little confused between what has been told to me about the ability to stabilize gum disease. If periodontal treatments are given and the patient practices good oral hygiene, is it likely that gum disease can be stopped from getting any worse and the bacteria goes away? Or can gum disease only be slowed down using these methods? I have moderate periodontitis and mostly have 5s, 4s, and 3s when probing - a little bone loss as well.
slowed down, he said there is no cure crying right noe, iv had bad breath for 2 wks , & clearly have it, i wont to kill myself. i cant live with stinky breath like this
@@cheanarchist2381 I've just been told I have stage 3 gum disease. It was a shock because I brush my teeth 10-15 minutes twice a day and often use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. I've just bought some Corsodyl medicated mouthwash (nb. do not use for more than 30 days at a time) and searching the internet for other solutions such as the 'gum disease diet' etc. some people swear by oil pulling. There are all sorts of things to try, so please research this subject, and treat yourself to a dental hygienist cleaning asap.❤
In your experience as a doctor, do people with untreated bite disorders such as cross-bite, have higher chances of developing gum periodontal desease? I would really appreciate your answer.
if you're predisposed to perio disease, then malocclusion can worsen the situation. its called occlusal trauma
I’m thinking most of us wouldn’t be here if you explained it when nobody else did… sooooo many years ago 😢
Agreed, man
You do not name the bacteria-why do you not? Are there no antibiotics which destroy the bacteria? If a patient has osseous surgery, how good are the chances that the problem is permannetly solved, assuming the patient practises good hygiene after surgery? "There is no cure for peredontal disease" Is that your last word on peredontal disease?
This is awesome. If possible can you make more videos like this and teach us how to read the X-rays. This can really help when I discuss my isuue with my dentist. I really don't get how doctors who are willing to harm patients for money. Doctors's career are pretty much set and have very good income already.
i need recommendations for topics
@@northtexasdentalsurgery I know doctors prescribe growth hormone to senior citizens to help rebuild and strengthen their bones and some articles mentioned it can also help with teeth structure. Of course I don't have the expertise to know what is factual except putting my faith in the author and try to verify it with experts in the field.
We need education on preventive care and healing in a natural way by our body. Put a bandage on a wound should be our last option because it will create other problem for us.
Nowaday, advertisements are very deceptive about their products, so can you educate us on these products and if they actually work. Product like stannous toothpast, sodium flouride, etc...
I keep hearing about flouride being toxic when you swallow it while brushing BUT then in one of the articles I read, you have swallow a few tubes of toothpaste for it to be fatal.
@@sinnieleeonUtube I don’t use fluoride toothpaste because of many published articles that show proof that fluoride is detrimental to human health. Hitler used it on the concentration camps on people so right there, you know it’s not good.
It makes people docile so that’s What they wanted in the camps is people to not try to rebel and try to fight their captor’s.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery I have a 35 year old filling that fell out. I doubt there is enough tooth to drill+refill again because there's pain, sensitivity inside the tooth. Root canals seem to be disasters. What should I do? Just pull it out?
@@sinnieleeonUtube stannous is better. Sodium is used because it results in whiter teeth, but they are not as protected as well in comparison to stannous (tin) fluoride. Do not swallow toothpaste. Trace amounts are OK.
Thank you doc for replying ! I know this will end with dentures or implants very frustrating as rest of my family all got amazing teeth my siblings all mid 50s my mum had teeth into 80 s but not so for my dad or his sister so I got genes from that side 😔
no problem. yeah if you know you have a losing battle with perio disease it may be best to just look at implants now and save yourself the time and money
I do have perio disease bad on bottom, it is not the first time and you, being a dentist, would know why , there are such issues.
I have been to the dentist and was told the bone on top is not good but bottom is healthy.
Thank you
Yeah I got my dad’s genes I suppose he had all his teeth pulled when he was in his early forties. But I also have had leaky gut 7 yrs ago and maybe it never truly healed as I have it now and my teeth are rapidly deteriorating sadly! I have deep deep pockets and scared of what it will take to save teeth or whatever. I’m going for appt for Perio to tell me what his plans are and I bet it will be so costly for lanap that I doubt I can afford it 😢
Heard of artichoke for healthy teeth?
What is the cost of laser gum surgery? And what is the recovery like?
Your experience with new oral probiotics?
This being promoted aggressively to avoid periodontal disease.
no experience at all with oral probiotics
By chance do you also have practice in the Bay area? I just learned I have periodontal disease and need to treat asap.
sadly i dont. best of luck. find a good periodontist
Thankyou an excellent presentation.... I went for a second opinion yesterday, first dentist said extract 4 and do a bridge... I was in absolute shock, yesterday was told extract 9 teeth and have dentures, I know it’s quite selfish of me but I feel traumatized.. I never ever thought I’d ever have to wear dentures ... it’s so very upsetting .... I recommend never ever ever neglect your teeth, take care of them while you can ... Thankyou doctor
I recently found your videos as I have been recommended to see a periodontist due to a loose tooth. I have a suspected vertical fracture on a molar and my margin was a 5. I was devastated as I did not feel I would ever be visiting a periodontist. But, your videos help me to know your scopes of work are not always so scary. I do wish that you were in my area. I currently have an appointment but have been waiting over a month and have a few more weeks to go before my appointment. My tooth is shifting and just went for my regular cleaning and now my dentist says the margin is 9 on that tooth. It has changed in a short amount of time. Would you have any recommendations for periodontists in Orlando, FL? I have been doing my own search to find another periodontist that might be able to see me sooner, but really it's like throwing a dart at a dartboard.
Dear Doctor Daniel Choi, please do make videos about Periodontal Abscess and which cases need Periodontist treatment as opposed to unsavable tooth extraction option only left and Oral Surgery and Implants. Also please explain which Dentist to see for trying to save the tooth with a root canal and bone loss and abscess under the root canal: is this savable by Endodontist, Periodontist or only extraction by Oral Surgeon or Periodontist... (and expensive Implant). Also, which doctor is best for Implants which should fit in the overall previous orthodontist teeth alignment...
thanks for the input. i will add this to the list of videos to make
@@northtexasdentalsurgery what about bio film therapy?
Is it possible to do bone graft around the lower incisors that had extreme bone loss after a mistaken aggressive intrusion in a Ortho treatment? (No tartar, bone loss just caused by the orthodontic intrusion)
Amazing overview of Periodontal disease. Thank you!
glad to help
Can you please explain how someone who does not eat sugar or anything food that turns to sugar and has excellent oral habits gets gingivitis. My mom was a dental assistant and dental hygienist until I was 28. I use a sonicare toothbrush, waterpik, waxed floss and dental brushes. Inflammation in my gums make no logical sense
Very informative! And such a pleasant video about a not so pleasant subject! And I’ve never seen such a detailed explanation of the Lanap procedure. Such a helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
I had periodontal disease and they charged me outrageous prices... I found it cheaper just to go to my family doctor he prescribed me doxycycline I switched to a CPC mouthwash and I switched to a stannous fluoride toothpaste... I also mouthwash with salt water with a pinch of baking soda.... and I also gargle with diluted peroxide.... I was on high dose doxycycline for 7 days and then lower to 50 mg for 3.... months and now my gums are healthy and beautiful
That's wonderful to hear. Do you still visit your dentist regularly?
@@Antertainment531 for cleanings and regular checkups
I was at 4-5. I am going in for a deep cleaning. Do you think I’ll be ok? I’m afraid my teeth are going to fall out.
Oh God. Please come to New York. I will find you an office, promote & market you, and pack your schedule. We need people like you. If you would consider a move, I'm in an area outside NYC that is highly congested with NYC residents who left the city. I also have a connection to my dear friend who is a magnificent NYC restorative dentist who would be an amazing partner to join with (she may consider it.) Please, if you're interested, respond to this and I'll contact you directly.
Thank you very much for this video, Dr. I wish I could have seen this video before i go to the dentist. Most dentist here always ask if like to do extraction other than through explanation. They shall explain the conditions and the options to the patient and shall followed by the the recommendation depend on the stage and also shall it be tooth extraction is at last if real necessary. But, now. extraction is done and later will need to implant again. Without implant, what will happen again please?
Might wanna listen I just lost the rest of my top teeth yesterday and now have a set of dentures…..I’m 34!!!! Just go to the dentist
Also now that I understand that bone loss is about the bone between the roots, not the roots themselves, I'm realizing what's behind 2 comments I heard this week: a friend saying that her lower jaw is shrinking, forcing her teeth to crowd, which she observed, just happens with age. And my hygienist saying that with time, our teeth tend to move to the front (and crowd). In both cases, I now can see how bone loss would lead to these outcomes. So dangerous to let gum inflammation go unchecked as the underlying bone is apparently dissolving.
It shoud be required that everyone see a periodentist once per year to see if they have periodontal disease.
Thank you for such an excellent comprehensive video. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Take Lysine. It's good for your gums and your lips.
I have no insurance and I REALLY need help. Are there any programs i should look in to or any help available??
Ive had a broken molar for 5 years now. I really want to save my teeth and my smile. I was told I have severe bone loss. It’s been freaking me out😭😭😭
where do you live?
@@northtexasdentalsurgery Thank you so much for replying to me!!
I live in Orlando, FL
@@SalsaCharms sorry i dont know anybody in orlando. if you have severe bone loss you should look into dentures or implant supported dentures, all on 4 down there. best of luck!
Try to find out if there’s a dental school that does work for the public, in your area. Their work will be supervised by an experienced Dr., but cost much less than an established dentist. My sister did that when she was in college and couldn’t afford a regular dentist.
Hello, if you don't mind, I would like to add my two cents in the hopes it will help you or someone else.
Most communities have dental clinics that work on a sliding scale fee. You should check with your local or state public health department. Also, some dental schools offer service at a lower charge. I had dental work completed at the NY Dental School.
Don't we all wish this wonderful dentist close to us? Thank you so much for the information and education doc!
Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed with gum disease last month. I had a deep clean quite a few years ago. I now look after my gum. I 🙏I'm not too late to slow down the bone lost🙏
Thank you for your honesty. I have had dentists tell me I need a deep cleaning when I don't. This is how they make money.
I have gum disease and its been going on for years ..i have an appointment for cleaning. But im pissed because the staff didnt give me any tips on how to treat this situation from day to day.. This is why im watching youtube now!! Im having bleeding gums and my teeth are shifting. Im using the Paradontax toothpaste and mouth wash...❤thank you. Sir for your help and insight!!❤❤
I went to get diagnosed for peridontal disease because ive noticed gum loss, went in got a scaling, and a root canal, was asked to be shown how to floss properly i was never taught as a kid, they ignored my request and tried to force me to get my fillings fixed right away, was not very happy. im now down 1300 dollars.
Have you seen patients reverse their own gum disease that were at the 6 mm level with home care? Were they just super hyperconscientious about their hygiene other observations?
I think at least a good scaling and root planing and using proxy brushes should help.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery what is a proxy brush?
Are you in Fort Worth?? I’m searching for a knowledgeable and non-upcharging dentist to treat what I’m told is periodontal disease but it’s a struggle finding a trust worthy dentist. Also not interested in fluoride.
hey thomas. nope. sorry in plano and mckinney. i do go to grapevine every other week
Good for you! Flouride is terrible for your teeth and health.
What gum laser therapy would you recommend if any? Is waterlase any good and would your recommend it? Thank you in advance! 👍🏽
I just had my lanap surgery. It cost me $8k and with the dental insurance deduction. I paid as my copay &
$6,600 . I hope it’s worth it.
I wish I could have saw this earlier, this information is really helpful and I do believe I was overcharged for the procedure I received. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Glad it was helpful!
Dr Emovon. Your generosity towards my bad breath and acid reflux is incomparable, you assured me of getting healed just within 2 months and it was so. Thanks a lot Dr Emovon on RUclips I will keep letting the world know about your good work and about your RUclips channel🌿🌿🌿
Hi I just visited the dentist the told me I need deep gum treatment, then later on the hygienist came back and told me that my insurance won’t cover it and the total cost will be $10,000 which would include Invisalign I don’t have that money and I really need help😢
Thank you Doctor!! Very useful information!! May I have your email? I would like to send you my X-rays for your opinion please. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this information and your honesty
You are so welcome
Do you know of a good trustworthy, honest periodontist in Albuquerque NM? Have pockets from 2 to 7. Just a couple of 5, 6 and one 7. The rest are 2, 3 and 4's. They want to do a root scaling/planning on my entire mouth. Right top and bottom first on the same day then later top and bottom left. Bone loss and gum receding. I floss, water pick, brush and tongue scrape, and warm salt water rinses daily. I'm a fanatic about cleaning my teeth and faithful about my every 6 month dental cleanings. They say could be genetic. I could use a second opinion but not sure who to go to here In Albuquerque for a second opinion.
So well explained😍 thank you very much
This is whats happening to me now, so how do you get a second opinion from another dentist without make an appointment for one thing and then having them say they have to do xrays to see what I am talking about. Because I can't ask for my xrays from my dentist to get the second opinion, and then he says their right I need what they say I need done, but what will happen when I go back to my dentist and say ok do the work that needs to be done, and they refuse to because I went out and got a second opinion first. And is my insurance going to pay both dentists?
fyi its your legal right to get access to your dental records. you just need to ask
Thank you! I was told it was best for me to get all my teeth removed and get a ALL 4 to a tune of 53,000.00, Yes, I have some bone loss but I was told I was a candidate for implants. I think I will try the Lazor.
That's so expensive! How are you doing now? Was laser surgery an option? I'm being told I need bone grafting: 4 teeth for $3k. I'm sure there's more to be done after that. Sigh...
Thank you immensely for this video. Your delivery is detailed enough to get a handle on the subject and I feel better about what my options may be. My goal is to be thoroughly informed and to discuss my periodontal situation with my periodontist in order to pave the way for treatment on an ongoing basis. You have contributed to the achievement of this goal. Warm greetings to you from the Southwest.
LANAP lasted about 11 years before I needed deep cleaning again, it’s not a lifetime fix.
Can this laser work on implants? Can I come see you?
Thank .
Estoy informándome de todo. Despues de un curetaje y pagar mucho dinero, Tecnica de cepillado manual en las encias, cepillos interdentales, después hilo dental y irrigador bucal con 6 partes de agua por 1 parte de listerine sin alcohol. Eso por la noche.
Por la mañana al levantar un poco de bicarbonato en boca y enjuagar con agua. Después del desayuno lavar.
Great v doc I am suffering with advance gum disease now most teeth loose moving away from bone and gum bleeding. No matter cleaning it’s genetics. It’s puffy sore my teeth gone long both top and bottom bite is off looking back It’s crept up in 2011 but I’m desperate to not let go of teeth as I can chew eat etc but my smile means people see my dropped teeth looking uneven.
if its become an eating and esthetic issue and you also lost all that bone, you may need to look at a denture or implant denture option, etc.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! THANKS FOR BEING HONEST DR.
everyone gets old and dies .. get over it
Are there any home remedies that one could use for advanced periodontitis to try and prevent it from worsening? I've tried many different kinds of toothpaste and they are quite abrasive, mostly ones that contain the ingredient stannous fluoride.
strictly home remedies? I'm honestly open minded but I still haven't found one otherwise I'd tell it to all my patients
I was in need of a deep clean. I had a real bad experience at the dentist once and thought I would try something at home to see if I could reverse my minor problems. I had mostly 3s, 4s and a 5 but no bone loss. I researched it (you might have to search for it) that a combination of baking soda, aloe vera, salt, warm water and lemon juice break down calculus if treated daily. A water pik is most important to "pressure wash" it away and get down in there under the gum. At first it did bleed a little but so will getting teeth scaled and planed. A month later or so I went back to the dentist and the 5 became a 3 and the 4 a 3.
I use this mix as a mouth wash AND in my water pik. I then follow up with a shot of ACT to freshen my breath.
While I’m waiting for The laser surgery, I am using Himalayan pink salt 3x daily, recommended mouthwash, brushing & flossing… bleeding stopped. I’m not sure if all the bacteria is gone… but… it’s worth a try to slow the bacteria down while awaiting…
Let me add, I use Sodium bicarbonate Along with the salt solution. Try not to swallow it if you have high blood pressure🎉 Best of luck
@@10MinutestoRouletteFortune Hi, I'm just curious. Have you kept up your routine with your teeth? What was the result of your new habits?
Thank you so much very good information and I just found out I have gum disease and Dr want me to do deep clean n more gonna cause me $2,119 if I remember correctly amount dr. want to charge me plus I have medicare only. But my gum doesn’t hurt are bleed. I’m very easily to have tartare those. I gonna get second opinion from my old dentist.
Thank you for this video. Are the antibiotics harmful?
Thank you
All those years I have been to dentist no dentist ever stated to me black and white that tartar and plaque left untreated will cause tooth loss. Also is it the jaw bone that is being lost? Needs clarification
The common acronym now is FBI's floss, brush, irrigation, and sanitize instruments. With Brushing your tongue a key step in the process.
Could you add or comment on this prevention process?
sounds good to me. I'd recommend all those
@@northtexasdentalsurgery Thanks.
