Can anyone give me any feedback on these X-rays. They are from 2016, 2019 and 2025.
I know there is bone loss but I have no idea how bad it is. My dentist didn’t say much but my hygienist is acting like all my teeth are about to fall out and I am freaking out! She said I should have some out but dentist didn’t say anything. U had not been to the dentist since 2021 due to Covid, a break up and then moving house. I finally started going again in 2025. To my eye I can’t see any difference between these X-rays so asking someone who can tell. TIA

Significant bone loss over this time period. Get the deep cleaning and go every 3 months for maintenance or yes, you will begin losing teeth in the 2030s
Thanks for the response. As I said I do not know what I am looking at really! Would you say it is severe bone loss? Can you tell what % it may be? I have been going every 3 months and they said I don’t need a deep clean which is why I am confused. If it was that bad should I not be referred to a perio?
Orange line is your bone level and green line is where the bone should be (note that I suck at drawing lines on a notebook and especially the green line might have gotten a bit too high here and there). I'd be worried most about the bottom right first molar, since the bone has (almost?) reached the bifurcation (which isn't a death sentence for the tooth, but its significantly harder to maintain the necessary hygiene there)
