First post here so please forgive me if this a rehash of other post. For starters im 36 and smoked for about 20years. My dental problems are massive. I have been to three dentist and three periodontist. All three dentist basically told me they couldn't help and made it clear they didn't want to. My numbers are between 7 and 9 all around. So they said pull all your teeth. Get dentures, screw that i only have a few loose ones. The last periodontist wants to do the flap surgery wick i agreed to but now that i have agreed to it they done seem interested filming me in on the process. I went and got fitted for partials and my surgery is next week but i don't have anything about what i should do before. Other than the stuff i found on the Internet. Should i be concerned as to why I'm being left in the dark. By the way I'm not saying is a race thing but at this point i can't place or on anything else. Please help me
