I went to the dentist last week and said I was losing bone from my tooth and I would soon loose my front tooth. He seemed very puzzled and said this usually is due to trauma, but I didnt recall ever having any accident. So I just realized a couple of days ago that I have a very small whole on the roof of my mouth and it is on the same side that tooth is. Could that be the cause of that bone loss? Please help.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The common causes for bone loss can be gum infection secondary to deposits, the other cause of bone loss can be trauma, tooth infection or deep bite. Nothing to be panic, consult a periodontist and take an opinion. If it is because of the gum infection you can get the teeth cleaned(scaling and root planing) followed by grafting. If there is a tooth infection, then it has to be treated. Since you are telling, there is a hole in the roof of your mouth, it can be because of tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
