I have periodontal disease. what is the the most effective treatment?

Home care: Good technique brushing and flossing on a daily basis. Dental cleanings or deep cleanings by your dentist. Evaluation for gum surgery if needed.

Gum disease: Treatment for periodontal disease is aimed at setting up an environment in your mouth so that your daily hygiene routine allows you to remove the plaque and bacteria . That being said when the gum pockets are too deep you can t keep things clean. Scaling and root planning is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease in an effort to reduce the pockets. Also your dentist may do a laser treatment

CoQ10: Coq10 or ubiquinol also can help.

PerioProtect (PP): I have been in practice long enough to see periodontal relapse after surgery. I have successfully treated compliant patients with pp. Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection. This system does not use antibiotics as bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Pp works by significantly reducing bacteria daily and is therefore successful.

Treat the Cause: Gum disease is a bacteria infection in the gum tissue (pocket). Neither scaling and root planing, brushing or flossing controls these bacteria. The only way I have found that patients can control the bacteria is to use the perio protect method which delivers a doctor selected medication (hydrogen peroxide gel) into the pocket where it kills up to 99.98% of the bacteia --> no disease.
