Bone grafting is not a one-day transaction.
It is a construction project inside your jaw.
Many Filipino patients start strong on Day 1.
By Month 3, nawalan ng gana.
By Month 6, budget gone.
By Month 8, project abandoned.
Let’s break this down like a real construction timeline.
The X-ray image shows severe bone loss and dark radiolucent areas around the roots of multiple teeth. The surrounding jawbone appears irregular, hollowed, and damaged, which strongly indicates advanced infection spreading through the bone.
The tooth roots are clearly visible with loss of normal bone support, a serious sign that the infection is no longer limited to the gums.
The image shows a blackened area on a back tooth, with swelling of the surrounding gum tissue. The dark spot on the tooth suggests advanced tooth decay, while the raised and irritated gum indicates a localized gum abscess or infection. This combination often causes bad taste or foul odor due to bacterial activity.
This condition usually develops when decay reaches deeper parts of the tooth and spreads toward the gum.
The image shows a localized swollen area on the gum near a back tooth, with redness and a raised appearance. The swelling is concentrated in one spot, which is commonly seen with a gum abscess or localized dental infection. The nearby tooth appears intact on the surface, but the infection may be coming from below the gumline or the tooth root.
This type of swelling can increase quickly if not treated.
The dental X-ray shows the front teeth (anterior teeth) with clearly visible roots and surrounding bone. The bone level around the roots appears reduced and uneven, especially near the root tips. This finding can indicate early bone loss or a low-grade infection around one or more teeth.
There are no visible crowns or restorations in this area, which helps focus the evaluation on bone and root health.
