What happens when the gums receede till the end?
Each time the gumline receeds the bone also receeds that holds the root of your tooth in the bone. If the gumline gets too low, the bone loss will be so severe that the tooth begins to loosen and falls out. A periodontist can make a tissue graft a place it there to end this process. It usually runs around $1,000, but the cost to replace a tooth is the same and usually more. Grafts are very successful in healthy people. Be sure to use a soft toothbrush or extrasoft in the meantime. Easy, gentle circles when brushing, do not scrub or apply very much pressure with your toothbrush. When the gumline begins to get very low like this things can begin to get stuck in beneath the root and cause an infection. If this happens you will needs antibiotics. Find a good periodontist in your area.
Reply:Heres a little info that I found online- As the disease progresses (periodontitis), it can destroy the bone and soft tissues that support the teeth. In advanced stages of periodontitis, teeth can become loose, fall out or have to be removed by a dentist. In fact, periodontitis is the culprit in 70 percent of tooth loss in adults over 40.


You should really get that checked out.
Reply:My gum are receeding so badly. My dentist warned me of the condition long time ago but I keep ignoring it. And finally, I just had my gum surgery yesterday. It costs me $2034 just to cover the gum area of 2 teeth. I have few more to go. It's very expensive and my Delta Dental insurance won't pay for it.
