You won't believe what's happening now...the perio specialist I talked to yesterday called me today. She looked at my x-rays (they're digital so can be emailed quickly) and said "yes, you have severe bone loss, but you have a lot of bone left, and we can probably work with you." We had set up an appt for Monday but she had to change it because of the holiday.

Here's the funny part: she's giving a presentation on her methods on Wednesday afternoon, and who is on her list to be in the audience? Dr B, my dentist! We laughed about this, and she said she would like to see me BEFORE her presentation, and she would like to take a couple of pictures of me (my teeth I guess) to SHOW at the presentation! is she going to humiliate Dr B? Should I cancel all my future appointments with him?? Can she really save my teeth? This is such an interesting turn of event...no answers yet but now it looks as though there's a chance I won't have to have everything pulled...and I'm jazzed about that! There are still a lot of issues -- a couple of lower teeth that are going to have to be pulled and replaced for sure, but maybe, just maybe, I can keep most of my uppers....stay tuned! The appt is for Wednesday morning July 5. I'll tell you more about her methods tomorrow.
