What if you dont have insurance to see a dentist and your teeth are loose?
I was diagnosed with perio when I was 19. I was told that it is hereditary. I had the surgery then and I will admit…I didnt floss much. I am now 27 and my teeth are loose. I am scared to lose them. What can I do..I dont have dental isurance and dont know what else to do.
Is it really hereditary? I have two children and dont want them to get it

Care Credit can finance your procedures at 0% interest for 12 to 18 months. I’d go see a periodontist right away! United health insurance has a dental insurance plan the covers dental but im not sure how much dental is covers, so you may want to call and check on it. (no waiting period either).
Yes, in some rare cases, periodontal disease is hereditary, and if you were diagnosed at the early age of 19, then you more than likely got it from your genes.
Be sure to take your children to the dentist regularly and be on top of them when it comes to brushing and flossing daily to help prevent them from getting it or if they end up getting it, with good oral hygiene habits they can prevent bone loss and tooth loss by keeping things as clean as possible. (Plaque is what causes perio disease so keeping your mouth as clean as possible helps prevent permanent destruction). There is no cure for perio disease.
Good luck!
Maybe you can work out a payment plan with a dentist? I would call around first to see if any dentists take payment plans. I don’t know but it’s surely worth a try to see if they can help you.
Look for a low cost dental clinic. You could also see if any dental schools in your area take patients for their students to work on.
it is really important to take care and more especially if you have perio. it can be hereditary. there is not much you can do about them being loose right now pretty much do the surgery again. take your kids in for a check up. and try to look into some cheap insurance for the kids at least.
Maybe this site can help with the cost: http://www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago now and they have saved me thousands on all services. From root canals, fillings…cosmetic surgery and dentures are also included in this very affordable plan. They even had my benefits active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. Then try CareCredit for your financing needs. hope this helps.
