Can someone rewrite this to me as if you are talking to the patient?
Thank you.
In this visit for you to our clinic, you will receive a periodontal examination. If necessary, X-rays will be taken to evaluate any loss of bone around your teeth further. Afterward, our findings and your options for treatment will be explained thoroughly. At that time, the doctor will answer any questions you may have. Our goal is that you leave with a complete understanding of your condition, and the treatment needed to restore you to best oral health. So, with recent medical evaluations and lab work that confirms their ASA I status with the periodontal examination and x-rays, I see that the husband has interdental loss of 1-2 mm and probing depth is less than 4 mm. The Wife’s has interdental loss of 3 to 4mm and probing depth is more than 5 mm. Consequently, we can identify the stage of periodontitis of the husband, which is stage 1(Periodontal health, but the Chronic gingivitis he has may lead to receding gums and can be a precursor of periodontitis) and of the wife is stage 3(advanced periodontal disease). However, gingivitis that lasts for months or years. The body may try to repair the tissue damage by forming new collagen fibers in the connective tissue, leading to gingival tissues that are enlarged and fibrotic (leathery) inconsistency. The excess collagen fibers conceal the redness caused by the increased blood flow, making the tissue appear less red. Gingival enlargement may be caused by fibrosis (chronic gingivitis) as what happened to the husband. So, to clarify this situation, let's talk about periodontal disease and oral health care. If oral hygiene slips, or you skip dental visits, plaque builds up on the teeth. Eventually, it spreads below the gum line. The bacteria are protected there because your toothbrush cannot reach them. If plaque is not removed, the bacteria will continue to multiply. Your gum inflammation may get worse. The buildup of plaque below the gumline causes the gums to become inflamed. As the gums swell, they detach from the tooth. This process forms a space, or "pocket," between the tooth and gum. Bacteria can grow rapidly in the pockets. This encourages further plaque buildup. If left untreated, periodontal disease may destroy the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone, the structures that support your teeth. This leads to swollen, bleeding gums, a sign of gingivitis (the earliest stage of periodontal disease). Damage from periodontal disease also can cause teeth to become loose. This is a sign of severe periodontitis (the advanced stage of disease). Consequently, by this information, we decided to the grade and stage of periodontitis of the husband and the wife. Because you have chronic gingivitis, this means that your gum disease has gotten to a stage in which the bacteria living in your mouth have invaded and infected the tissues around your teeth. The gum tissue actually pulls away from the teeth, leaving behind spaces called "pockets" that can easily become infected. This kind of infection may not be able to be reversed or "cured" but may be treated to prevent further damage. With special cleaning procedures done, called scaling and root planning. Scaling and planning procedures help remove the tartar and bacteria that lead to periodontitis. Other treatment options may involve antibiotic gels, antibiotic tablets taken by mouth, and enzyme suppressants, which are medicines used to lower the amount of enzymes produced by your body that may destroy gum tissue. In severe cases of chronic periodontitis, you may have to have surgery to open up the infected pockets (flap surgery) or to help promote bone and gum growth (bone and tissue grafts). Also, you can prevent periodontal disease by practicing good oral hygiene, by using the toothbrush and flossing regulatory and visiting the dentist regularly. Most people should see the dentist about once every six months. However, because you already have gum disease, you may need to visit more often.
Answer: As you have visited our clinic for periodontal check up, if there will be need then X- ray have to be done to check for any bone loss around the teeth.
The main aim is to make you understand the present condition of your teeth and the type of treatment you need for the this and if you have any further questions you can ask to the doctor. The lab works and medical evaluation reveals that their is ASA I status with the periodontal examination and X- ray and husband has interdental loss of 1-2 mm and depth is less than 4mm whereas wife has interdental loss of 3 to 4mm and probing depth is more than 5 mm. The husband periodontal stage is 1 whereas wife is at stage 3.
If proper oral hygiene is not maintained then plaque builds up on the teeth and also spread to the gums and if the plaque will not be removed then it will cause inflammation which can become more worse with the time.
The option for the treatment includes scaling and planning. This procedures will help to remove the tartar and bacteria that lead to periodontitis. Other treatment options also available such as antibiotic gels, antibiotic tablets taken by mouth, and enzyme suppressants, which are used to lower the amount of enzymes produced by your body that may destroy gum tissue.
You can prevent the periodontal disease by maintaining good hygiene as well as visiting the clinic more often for the treatment. You should take the medicine on time for the better results.

Can someone rewrite this please for me? Thank you. I would start to counsel the patient by simply stating the facts. It would be important to let them know that cigarette smoking is one of the most significant risk factors in the development of periodontal disease and that more than half of the periodontitis cases in the U.S. are associated with smoking. There are many studies that compare smokers with nonsmokers with periodontitis and smokers have more recession of the...
Your last patient of the day is Luana G., a 16 year old girl, who has Down syndrome. She presents with moderate mental retardation. This is the first dental appointment in her life, as she has a fear of clinical settings, and her parents have not wanted to frighten or upset her. Your clinical exam reveals substantial plaque, biofilm and calculus formation, deep periodontal pockets, and extensive gingival inflammation. Radiographs show severe alveolar bone loss around most of her teeth....

What counsel would you provide this patient about the effect of the smoking habit on the likelihood of long-term control of his periodontitis?
Your next patient, Josiah S, has recently relocated to your town, approximately 6 months ago, and is a new patient to your practice.

Your next two patients are identical twin sisters who are new to the practice, mary and Katherine. They request that you review their health histories together. You learn that they are 68 years old, both widowed, and live together.

They inform you that their mother is still alive at 90,...
Can someone rewrite this paragraph for me? Thank you. I believe prior to deciding if the patient should have osseous surgery, I would suggest antibiotic treatment by referring them to the periodontist. I would also go through their medical history to notice there are any possible connections. There can be an underlying systemic disease that can be preventing the patient from improving. I would also perform thorough prophylaxis because the gum will be able to heal well when free from...
