Just got back from the dentist this morning.
I found out that I have chronic Periodontal Disease due to lack of flossing.
I brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash twice a day but apparently that was not enough!!!
anyways, I have to go under on Thursday for a deep cleaning.
I am scared out of my mind.
But I need to get this undercontrol ASAP , I'm starting to fixate on it.
I went online and did some research, I noticed that Periodontal Disease can cause Heart complications down the road.
I'm 27 years old, I eat right and excercise. I never thought I would have to WORRY about heart disease at this time in my life.
Do I seriously have to worry about this? or am I just overreacting?
I'm really scared. accepting the fact that I have any kind of disease iis scary.
I just want to get my teeth cleaned so I can stop worrying.
From here on out I will never miss a day of flossing.
please any answers or advice is needed.
thanks much
