What does the dentist mean when he sends you to the periodontist to evaluate the lingual?
Published: May 28th, 2009
Saw my dentist last night on my implants on 8/9. He is sending me in to the periodontist to check the lingual on teeth 7/8/9. What is that and is it more pain and long term or an easy fix?
He wants to check the bone density of your upper front teeth!
to see if the implant took, Did the bone regeneate around the implants?
The periodontist will possibly clean, scrape, underneath the gums or even reshape the gums around the implant areas!
with these procedures he will be using anesthesia and prescribe pain medication and or antibiotics too..

implants need to be watched closely. 8 & 9 are your top two front teeth and 7 is right next to 8. the lingual just means the back side of your teeth (the part that is facing your tongue)
