Posts tagged “periodontal disease”

I am a 47 yr.old woman with well maintained diabetes for 30 yrs. now. Over the years I have developed periodontal gum disease(from not visiting a dentist like I should have) and from this a tooth has moved out of it’s original position, making a gap appear. Now going to the dentist for regular exams and cleanings, I’m interested in having this problem fixed. I would like to know what your suggestion would be on how to fix this problem. The moved tooth is located in the front & on the bottom of my mouth so when I smile it is very visible and i’m very self conscious of this. Please help!
