[QUOTE="Jevverrett, post: 542292, member: 3706"] I was told I had gum recession and bone loss. Of course, I also chew tobacco at work, in addition to pipes and cigars. But they got me straightened out with antibiotics and a very expensive procedure called root planing and scaling. Whole thing put me nearly $3k in the hole, and found out later that it’s not a widely used treatment. I wanna say the drug was called Arrestin. I got the whole riot act read to me about tobacco use and cancer and such also. I honestly wasn’t the most diligent man when it came to brushing my teeth three times a day. I don’t believe pipe smoking is linked to tooth decay, gum recession or bone loss. Bare in mind, I think it’s required by law to tell you not to use tobacco products. You may just have bad teeth buddy. It happens. I don’t know if it helps you, but do get other opinions. Some franchise dentists are big on up selling. Just saying, I went to a local practice family dentist a year later. He said he didn’t think all that was necessary. [/QUOTE]
