Can you tell me how to stop my periodontal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 part problem: Dental disease is a three part problem. Your own general health and how that affects your immune system. The type of oral flora or bacteria you have in your mouth. Your oral hygiene. We can help you with the oral hygiene. We can, through periodontal procedures change the gums so bad numbers decrease. Identifying the specific bacteria or combination still escapes us and is likely individual respons.
