I went to the dentist today and have periodontal disease?
I go to the community oral health because i have no insurance and they have no hygienist at this time. The doctor was so concerned he is having me back in a week to clean them himself. He said it is pretty bad so what can i expect in the future at the dentist?

You probably need root plaining and quad scaling. This is going to involve deep cleaning with the calvatron tip, scaling, etc. Your dentist may choose to numb you and clean left upper and lower at one time or right upper and lower at one time. Then again, he may choose to do all four quads at once.
Depending on the severity of the perio, you may only need one quad scaling and then be done or you may need a few treatments.
Atleast the perio has been caught and you are moving forward with treatment.
Good luck!

That is one reason why regular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are very important. Treatment methods depend upon the type of disease and how far the condition has progressed. Good oral hygiene at home is essential to help keep periodontal disease from becoming more serious or recurring. You don’t have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
