Question:
What does it mean when the dentist tells you, you have bone loss?
Explain in detail please
Answers:
The first answer is very correct, however it is important to note that your dentist isn't doing a very good service to you by not explaining that. If you already have bone loss, you should also be seen by a periodontist. It sounds scary but it can be treated. ALSO, you can practice perfect oral hygiene and still have periodontal disease. It can be hereditary and even caused by long term meds that make your mouth.
