May. 14th, 2007 02:32 pmWent 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......
