What's the ?: Good luck with the procedure. Take good care of your mouth by asking the dentist for suggestions and then follow them. Few people know how important oral health is for overall body health. Even emotional well being is seriously connected to it. That same mouthwash might be good periodically even without a procedure to maintain healthy gums. Good luck!

Hi doctors! My dentist (rightfully) scolds me about plaque buildup on my gums--apparently my brushing is wrong. Could a periodontist help and do something that I cannot do? Any suggestions besides my trying to learn how to brush right? Want my teeth?
