Dear Sir/Madam.
I am 36 years old. I have been diagnosed with generalized aggressive periodontitis. To begin with, I regularly visit my dentist, who only at my last visit, after reviewing a new panoramic X-ray, mentioned that something was wrong and referred me to a periodontist. I saw the periodontist within a month and was shocked: advanced generalized aggressive periodontitis. The teeth are slightly mobile, which I had not noticed myself until now. My gums do not bleed. My first treatment is scheduled in three months. Because I am very worried, I would like to know whether I could lose a tooth during these three months. How quickly can slight mobility progress to tooth loss; is this possible during the three months while I am waiting for treatment? I would also like to know how my personal dentist could have failed to notice this earlier. Otherwise my teeth are attractive and healthy. I am now careful about what and how I eat, and I have started using Decapinol gel, Gengigel and Curaprox mouthwash. In addition to dental floss I have started using interdental brushes.
Thank you very much for your answer.
