Just got back from the dentist this morning.
I found out that I have chronic Periodontal Disease due to lack of flossing.
I brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash twice a day but apparently that was not enough!!!

anyways, I have to go under on Thursday for a deep cleaning.
I am scared out of my mind.

But I need to get this undercontrol ASAP , I’m starting to fixate on it.
I went online and did some research, I noticed that Periodontal Disease can cause Heart complications down the road.

I’m 27 years old, I eat right and excercise. I never thought I would have to WORRY about heart disease at this time in my life.

Do I seriously have to worry about this? or am I just overreacting?
I’m really scared. accepting the fact that I have any kind of disease iis scary.
I just want to get my teeth cleaned so I can stop worrying.
From here on out I will never miss a day of flossing.

please any answers or advice is needed.
thanks much

She is a beautiful woman and needs 2 plates and her teeth pulled. Her self esteem has bottomed out and her health is suffering, including heart problems. She is in college, raising her kids alone and paying all her bills, but because the dentures are seen as cosmetic she can get no assistance. She can’t eat right, is sensitive to cold, has absesses and bleeding. If you can’t chew your food and have constant infections it has a physical effect on your health. Why are plates seen as cosmetic when Dr.s relate severe dental problems to heart disease? Where can she find help?
medicaid will only pay 439.00 each year for dental and will no cover any cosmetic proceedure. This is my daughter, and she works hard. She recieves assistance for her education and if she works she loses assistance. She has 2 kids that would need day care and can’t afford it. She is single and has no help from the father. Please, don’t think she isn’t trying, she has been doing everything she can. We live in a rural location and there are few resources. I hope none of you ever have to live with less.
