Hello, I have had done oral prophylaxis two weeks ago due to inflammation and plague buildup with no bleeding. When I asked the dentist if it's something serious, he replied it isn't. My gums are pink but I have problem chewing food. I also have minor open bite, for which I ll go for orthodontic checkup. Also, my upper right second molar adult teeth is missing and my baby second upper molar teeth never fell. When I chew food, it feels like I have strain in my lower front teeth. I am really worried if this is a sign of any gum disease. I have seen all these things regarding periodontitis and it has literally shaken me. And do I have to go for extraction of baby molar tooth if I opt for ortho treatment? I am just 18! I don't want to lose my teeth so soon. :(

Hello.
I hope you know what you are talking...do you know what Periodontitis is ??? I never encourage my patients towards Google etc unless really necessary.
I advise you to follow the instructions of your Specialist as one needs treatment on after Clinical Evaluation. Sorry but online stuff doesn't work always and that's why there are Doctors. Please visit your doctor for further help. Iam sure your Orthodontist will help you a lot.
