Rachel, thank you for your email and kind thoughts, as far as I am aware I have no peridontal disease which makes it really puzzling to discover that I have this problem. I think the one thing I have been afraid of all my life is loosing my teeth, irrational I know. However, to have reached the age of almost 70 without any health problems I do consider myself fortunate. Your email was much appreciated and I thank you for your kind wishes.
Margaret

Since you mentioned you have some mobility of your teeth...the Dentist needs to know if that is due to the gums and ligaments of the teeth (periodontal disease) or systemic bone disease (osteonecrosis of the jaws).
Good luck to you and keep taking the antibiotics until they are finished !
Best wishes,
