Today I am feeling super overwhelmed with all things medical and dental.
I had laser gum surgery in Nov and Dec and today at my check up my Periodontist said I have not healed AT ALL and he is "worried about the longevity of my teeth" and thinks I will start to lose them within a year. UHHHH! Yikes! He humbly said he thinks I need to see someone at UCLA or UCSF. I'm going to UCSF but does anyone else have really bad gum issues? Do you think it's from inflammation/systemic or could it be from being on a biologic? Feels like a double edged sword here, no?
This is my 9th week in a row of driving to at least 1, often 2 or more drs appointments an hour away. I am OVER IT! lol:ack:
Would be nice to hear from someone with this gum issue to see what helped. Thanks!
