A member asked:
I've spoken to four different periodontists. they each had a different recommendation on how to handle my periodontitis. how should i decide?

Difficult Decision: Since you are not a periodontist, it is difficult for you to personally evaluate their plans. You can, however, ask each for an explanation re their rationale for their treatment plan. In this way you may better understand which course of care is right for you.
