gum problems or lepar

Hello Everyone, well went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned, and was told my bone had deteriorated to much for that,
but still have all my teeth, but a couple that were pulled in the back a couple of years ago and had complete periodonoc cleaning costing several thousand dollar's, have alway's taken
good care of my teeth, especially after the periodonoc treatment,
since have done all the flosing, and gotten special electric brush, and thought thing's were going to be great, my question is
does the C have any affect on the teeth? and what is going thru my mind, is that I was honest, and wrote on the pre-exam question's that I had hep c, just wondering If that is the underlying reason they didn't want to clean my teeth, am I becoming a leppar? I am trying to do the moral thing,but maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.. any comments?

Hey, did babies even come with teeth 53 years ago? I thought that was a relatively recent evolutionary development ;-)

I had to do that gum replacement on a doll not long ago. Not as bad as it sounds - a tube of advesive caulk (red if you can find it) from your local building center plus a couple flaps of innertube rubber and you're good to go.

Better to let it cure overnight, I've learned.

hi, thanks for your post...can you elaborate on this irrigation? I want to be up on all the lastest things for teeth, I've got all crowns and caps now, ha ha! But they sure are white and purrty, they should be, I bought em! Is there special things that I should be doing with so many crowns and porcelain caps? I've heard that gingival inflammation can be worse with these things....many thanks! I have a little bit of receding gums, not much...guess most people would by my age anyway (53) and Ive thought of doing a gum replacement procedure...once again, thanks!

     One of those trick questions !      The proper answer is you should tell everyone, healthcare personnel / lover/ one nite stands, etc. which may come in contact with your blood.  It is correct that they all should use universal precautions ,but chit happens.  Morally, anything we can do to stop the spread of this blood borne desease to others is the proper route.
     As with a intimate partner, If  Drs./ nurses /dental techs.  have a problem with this... dump "em !!
