A member asked:
Can a deep cleaning get rid of my stage 1 periodontal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes possible: it is combination of treatment and proper home care and staying away from irritants. So results are mainly in the hands of a patient. If your home care is poor improve on it, if you are smoking etc stop it. You need to treat all causes before you get your success Good luck
