I am having bone deterioration between my two front teeth. ...

You might be able to slow the deterioration by having your teeth deep cleaned of plaque on a regular basis, and flossing religiously. Your dentist will know best of course, and you have to know the cause of the deterioration to stop the cause.

Calcium supplements may help as well, not to exceed daily recommended allowances.

What is your dentist saying?

I had deep cleaning done several years ago and did not have any problems until about a year ago. I have my teeth cleaned twice a year and had always been told how good my teeth and gums were. Then last year this slow deterioration started. I have had a consultation with a periodontist and he gave me three options. 1.) to have surgery where he would cut my gums and cut out and clean around the deteriorated area, which would leave my gums high and a large space between my teeth. 2.) Remove my two front teeth and replace with a partial plate or 3.) Try to control the deterioration as long as we can. I am waiting now to talk to my dentist about my options. Apparently this is caused by a bacteria and I was really looking for something that I could use that might kill the bacteria that is causing the deterioration, hopefully stopping or slowing down the deterioration.
