I have moderate periodontitis with some mobile teeth. Is it good to do extraction?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In the upper jaw, there are at least three teeth presenting with periodontitis and deep pocket formation. The only option is to do an extraction. If you do not have any symptoms for now, then you can delay doing extraction for few months or for a couple of years. In the lower jaw, there are two or three teeth in the front with severe periodontitis and it is present in the molars too. You can use Betadine mouthwash to avoid infection and antibiotics can be taken. Please mention whether you have pain or swelling in that area. The dentist has suggested you the correct treatment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you want to save the teeth for some more time, then you can do a root canal treatment in the upper right side and it can be managed for a couple of years. It helps to provide relief from pain if proper care is taken. In the lower teeth, gum regeneration is not possible at this age. But you can make the teeth more firm by doing root canal treatment. It helps to adhere the teeth to the alveolar bone more firmly.
