DO YOU HAVE A ODOR? WELL GUM DISEASE IS VERY SERIOUS IT CAN LEAD TO TOOTH LOSS BONE LOSS HEART DISEASE, I DOUBT HE JUST MADE IT UP, FOR EXAMPLE IN THE OFFICE I WORK IN THE TREATMENT FOR GUM DISEASE IS A DEEP CLEANING EITHER ROOT PLANING OR SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT WHAT THAT IS IT CONSISTS OF USING SOME TYPE OF NUMBING AGENT IN THE AREA BEING CLEANED AND USUALLY SOME TYPE OF CAVITRON CLEANING DEVICE THAT GOES DOWN TO THE BONE AREA OF THE TOOTH TO REMOVE ALL CALCULUS WITH ULTRASONIC AND ANTIMICROBIAL RINSES AS WELL AS USING IN MOST OFFICES AERISTIN A ANTIBIOTIC PLACED IN THE POCKET YOU ARE GIVING HOME CARE SUCH AS A SONICARE AND PERIO MED RINSE AND IN MOST CASES PUT ON A ANTIBIOTIC PERIOSTAT AND YES IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR TEETH CLEANED EVERY 90 DAYS UNTIL YOU HAVE THE DISEASE UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE THE BACTERIA COMES BACK THAT OFTEN.

HELLO,

IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED FACT THAT 75% OF THE AMERICAN ADULT POPULATION HAS SOME FORM OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE. THIS IS SHOWN BY PERIODONTAL POCKETS OF 4 mm OR GREATER.

I WOULD BE LEARY OF THIS DENTIST STATING THAT ONLY HIS OFFICE HAS THE MEANS BY WHICH TO TREAT GUM DISEASE.
GUM DISEASE MAY NOT CAUSE PAIN OR BLEEDING, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE BONE LOSS PRESENT.
BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THIS OFFICE YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TOO GET A SECOND OPINION.
