I am in my mid 30s now and unfortunately due to genetics on my mother's side (diabetes and high blood pressure) and with tartar/plaque buildup accelerated the process and now I have periodontitis where the bone the teeth is lost (the left upper side from the 3rd molar to the 2nd bicuspid).

I still have my teeth, but not for long (probably not to even my 40s). While teeth cleaning and tartar removal every few weeks helps slowing this process, its not going to stop it.

I pray that this breakthrough happens (even though it will probably take 5 to 10 years until we have something viable that we can pay for).
