We’ll have to do a gum transplant. Do you want Wrigleys, or Bazooka?

OUCH.

Not covered by insurance ,out of pocket sorry!

Chew on that for a while.

Your wallet must also come out.

My mom had the same problem. She had perfect teeth with no cavities, but at 32 she lost all of her teeth due to pyorrhea.

My mother was seventeen when she had to have all her teeth removed. I never asked my dad if that was a fun start to their marriage.

Gum disease,quite often, is the cause for bone and,eventually, tooth loss! :o{

Cheerful words from a periodontist!

I’m forever blowing bubbles…Bazoooooooka please,

Lyric from an Alice Cooper song…

gumless wonder

toothless blunder

now it’s liquids every day

without brushing

disease crushing

dentist bills are tough to pay

Last time I went to the dentist, he examined my mouth then pulled out his cell phone, made a call, and said “Honey, we’re getting the BIG pool!”

That’s from a song by “Alice Cooper” – your teeth are OK but your gums gotta go!
