Well : Well as we say this is a nice kettle of fish. You have a long history of problems and i think the advice to see an oral pathologist the correct advice from dr. Zweig. It is a shame that all those different remedies have clouded the issue. There are a number of good periodontists who could steer you in the right direction right there in hendersonville, north carolina. Generally speaking our periodontist colleagues have a really good grip on diagnosing these sorts of ailments.
You need a good diagnosis.
