Q. My dentist diagnosed me with gum disease not long ago and this is after some teeth had already fallen out. I had not been to the dentists for a while due to my fear of the dentists. My gum disease is beginning to get under control and my dentist has said I will be able to get implants following this. How long after gum disease is under control can i get them, and what should i do to make sure this problem does not happen again?
A. Once the gums are stable implants could be placed. To make sure it doesn’t happen again see your dentist and Hygienist on a regular 3-6 monthly basis
