I went to the dentist last week and she confirmed that I have periodontitis (gum infection basically)
She put me on antibiotics and did a deep clean and wants to see me in 3 months.
But I googled it (yes stupid me I know) and it says that people with periodontal issues have a high risk of stroke and heart disease.
You can never really reverse the periodontitis just keep on top of it - but now all I am doing is worrying that I have caused irrepairable damage to my arteries etc.
Why why why does this stuff have to effect us so badly. I am terrified every day that I am not going to live to see my babies grow up. Can't do it anymore :(
