the amount of bone loss that is 20% is not alarming at 45 years of age. it is routinely seen in patients at this age. there is no need to worry as it does not mean that the tooth will fall off soon. try to maintain the current level by using a warm salt water gargle twice a day or as much as possible or even a mouthwash solution will help. go for routine checkup once in every six months and get your teeth cleaned to maintain good oral hygiene. the x-ray would have been more helpful for me to give a better diagnosis. kindly watch out for loose teeth and show to your dentist. for further information consult a periodontist online --><link>
