A member asked:

What to do if i have heard that doxycycline can regenerate the bone loss a littleanyone have any experience in which is most effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Studies have suggested that doxycycline may help to prevent alveolar bone loss. This is bone loss around the teeth, not elsewhere in the body. However, long term use of this med carries risks as well.
