Went to the Periodontist this morning.  My hygienist made me schedule the appointment because she was concerned.  My mouth is getting bad again, and I'm getting perio cleanings every 3 months and keeping up with maintenance in between.

He's a new guy - and pretty young (cute too).  I don't have a problem with young - he probably knows all the latest stuff which is good.  He looked in my mouth and shook his head like all the other docs do - what's a clean mouth like this doing with all these problems.  He talked with my dentist who agreed it's a mystery.  He doesn't want to do more surgery yet, but he is going to pull one tooth which has a fractured root and is becoming a problem (and making my perio situation worse).  This doesn't bother me.  If I had my way they'd pull them all and give me dentures.  Anyway, after he pulls the tooth he's going to put me on meds for 3 months.  Can't remember what the name is, but it's different than antibiotics.  Then he'll see what happens.  This is going to happen next Monday - can't wait......
