dentist said I have early gum disease at 28 - need a periodontist rec
went in for a routine cleaning yesterday and came out being told i have early stage gum disease and need to see a periodontist asap 😩
i'm 28, i brush twice a day, i'm not like completely neglecting my teeth so this came as a real shock honestly. the dentist was pretty vague about it, didn't really explain what it means long term or what the treatment actually involves, just handed me a referral and sent me on my way
now i'm home spiraling a little bit lol. like is this as serious as it sounds? and should i just use the referral she gave me or find someone on my own?
anyone in Brooklyn seen a periodontist they actually trust? someone who'll properly explain whats going on rather than just rushing me into treatment 🙏
