I have been stressing for a couple months with swollen gums on the bottom of my mouth. I feel as if my teeth are about to fall out simply because my gum is kinda swollen and loose. My teeth arent loose but it feels abnormal. I have a dentist app and im scared to death of having deep pockets but u gave me some hope thank u for this video

I wish the dentists would explain it like you do.

What do you do when your dentist tells you not to probe because "you don't have time for that"? And it's totally true when we don't have enough time to do a proper assessment, let alone a thorough debridement? It's such a conflict that goes against our own DH College expectations. How do we handle these situations?

I got told I had 5 6 mm pockets I was devastated with my diagnose as I thought my teeth where in good standing..I'm going to a periodontist soon but I'm scared that even with treat meant and excellent home care that I will loose my teeth I'm only 27

[@dentalelle]

Alejandra Ortega keep excellent home care and seeing your dental hygienist every 3 months. This will help tremendously!

[@lizcambre8622]

Did you end up needing surgery or have you been able to maintain your pockets with regular cleanings? I am having the same issue as you.

Waterpiks are great 👍🏻

Dental probiotics are far more effective than standard treatments. These products are different from the products used for the GI tract. You can learn about several formulations on Amazon as well as even KZbin. You buy and use these products by simply mail ordering them. No prescription required.

Is there a slight chance to keep your teeth with periodontal disease or is it going to happen no matter what?

[@dentalelle]

Yes you can!

Hi im RDH in south korea. im studying english for English-speaking patient. I look with subtitles. I want to know if Google has misinterpreted a word that came out in 2:40 seconds. it says 'turner harbors a lot of bacteria'. what is 'turner'? I would appreciate it if you let me know. :)

[@Canadahasfallen88]

taendyoung lee she’s saying “tartar” which is another word for calculus, or hardened plaque

[@wem-c9f]

Hi Andrea, when you said that if the gum pockets are eg 4mm and are regularly cleaned eg every 3 months, does that mean the pockets would get shorter? You seem to say that they should go away. Also, I am curious as to if gum pockets will actually get deeper with cleans so often ie 3-monthly since the pockets are disturbed with the scaler ever so often?

[@dentalelle]

sowmya brushing and flossing is the best to do at home and also of course to see your dental hygienist every 3 months. Do you have a Waterpik as well?

Most of my gums pocket were 3-4 . My dentist told me that i also had little bit of bone loss . He told me that i have mild perio. I never been to the dentist until i was 19 and now i am 21 . Should i be worried about my teeth? Even though the dentist told me to not worry about losing my teeth i am still scared! He also told me that the disease were not active anymore ! Do i need to go to the dentist every-three month. Please help i am so worried 😭

[@dentalelle]

[@w8what575]

Take a supplement like proDentim… I was skeptical but it works….very well…the only thing I have found that helps…look into the oral microbiome…

Congratulations on your "Periodontal Disease Explanation For Your Patients" inspirational thanks for sharing. Natasha of Dr M Khoja Dental Surgery Lozells Birmingam UK explained this to me. 😁💐.

[@judybrown8297]

I do have 4 pockets, but I flossed and brush twice a day. I do visit the my dentist every 6 month.

[@MissSarahGM]

what a pity the dental hygienist profession doesn't exist in France! Hence, dentists do it all and probably don't take as much time as they should to assess pockets, explain and educate the patients! I have had good oral hygiene and saw so many dentists because of gum inflammation and as they saw no bone loss and no pocket - they send me back home. Not sure they even bothered to look for one isolate pocket.. 5 years later I found out I have several harmful bacteria after I had a deeper gum probe taken at a gum specialist. She yet saw no pocket. I don't understand at all. Nor what I should do, she proposed a deep cleaning with laser and hydroxide perogen, only 30 min procedure but not equivalent to SRP though.

I love your videos Andrea! Thank you:)
