To all who think they may have the symptons of gum disease here are my tips
1.If you smoke give up and this will help in your treatment.
2. Get a good dentist who you want to devise a treatmant plan with, it will cost but I think keeping your teeth is the bigger cost.
3. Eat anything with Vitamin A,C,D and E.
4. Get an electric toothbrush , use a sensitive toothpaste start off with flossing but Te-Pe are better to use but make sure they fit your teeth.Get a good mouth wash and use uptwice a day.
5. Start with the treatment plan, deep pocket descaling, no pain means no gain and start to aim to reduce the pocket sizes, bleeding and plaque.
6. Extra advise brush straight after eating, flush also by drinking water and when not possible use gum recognised by the dentist board.
7. Finally give it time.
I have been having traetment now for 6 months the results are fantastic I halved the gum disease and reduced plaque and my teeth do not bleed anymore. I have further treatment to go and I want to be 100% free of gum disease and it will probably take another 6 months.
Good Luck , don't give up it could cost you your smile
