Hi Bob,

Of course it is wise to hear what the periodontist has to say. But just so you know, your case is very common. My concern with patients who have long term perio disease are what the systemic consequences could be. It is difficult for many people to associate their oral health with the rest of their body because that is not what we were taught by our dentist while growing up. Unfortunately the dental profession still often overlooks that connection and it is up to the patient to voice their concern about the subject.

That's really all I'm trying to make clear here.......
Please let us know what the dentist has to say!
