A member asked:
Please answer! what works best for reducing/eliminating periodontal infection/disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gum Disease: Excellent home care along with thorough cleaning of the teeth above and below the gumline 3-4 times per year. See a gum specialist (periodontist) for the above. It is worth the extra specialist cost.
