Suggest Suitable Treatment For Periodontal Disease
Due periodontal disease have 2brokenteeth that need to be removed, 2bottom front loose, several caps upper front that look bad, a sore that comes and goes where the teeth are loose. I have had the scaling done, got a little better, cost me out of pocket $1600.00. Dentist is waiting on insurance to pay to have scaling done again. Dentist has given me too many Proposed Treatments, all going in a different direction. He will not tell me what is best for me and my BUDGET. He just keeps doing things that cost me money with no results. I want to EAT, SMILE & be able to pay for the work. HELP what should I do?

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
A thorough scaling, polishing and curettage is required in every six months.
At home brush your teeth twice daily in small circular motions.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete balanced diet and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Take care!
