Will my wobbly tooth ever firm up?+
That depends on why it moved and how much support it has left, so an examination is needed before anyone can say. Treatment is aimed at controlling disease and preserving the support around it.
Is my gum disease going to cost me this tooth?+
No one can answer that from a description alone. After evaluating attachment, bone and mobility, your dentist can tell you what the findings suggest and which options exist.
Is bone loss from gum disease reversible?+
Standard care focuses on stopping further damage and keeping what is left. Regenerative procedures can be considered for some selected defects, but they do not suit or work predictably in every site.
Why do my teeth look longer than they used to?+
That appearance can come from the gumline moving down the tooth. An exam can check for recession and look for signs of the attachment changes seen in periodontitis.
My bite feels different. Should that be checked?+
Yes, mention it. Changes in spacing or the way teeth come together can occur as support is lost, although other causes are possible, and your bite is reviewed as part of the assessment.
