I'm scared I got diagnosed with periodontal disease?
I’m 25 and I got diagonsed with periodontal disease..and it’s what my mom has. Is it heriditary? I haven’t been to the dentist in years because of not being able to afford it. But I do brush my teeth every day and floss too, it’s just getting worse. She didn’t say I have advanced periodontal disease she just said I have it. I right now have an an abscess, or an infection on the left side of my mouth and it hurts really bad. I am too young to have this! What causes this? Do you really have to go every 3 mos to get a cleaning done? Is there anything else I can do? I want to get the first cleaning done but right now I want to do everything in my power to prevent this from happening again.

There maybe a gentic predisposition to it – and yes, more frequent cleanings become very important in preventing it was getting as bad as it possibly could
