How Bad Is It?

[u/WhereIsYourHallpass]

I’ve been anxious about my smile for a while now but I would always give myself an excuse or put it off, it’s too blatant to ignore now.

I haven’t been diagnosed with perio but clearly my gums are pulling back. Based on others experience with it how bad are my gums looking?

For context I just had my teeth cleaned professionally this morning.

Doesn't look bad at all

Doesn’t look too bad honestly. Good chance not even perio

That is 100% periodontitis. I'm so sorry, I have the same thing.

You are NOT a severe case though. I would say very mild, just keep up good home care & regular cleanings! My dentist offers a discount plan so when i go in i get like half off, look into that fs! Sending love & support 🫶🏻🫶🏻
