Q.
I visited a dentist for 4 years and went every 6 months for a check up.He told me my teeth were perfect. I changed to another dentist and he advised that i had gum disease – peridontal. I was first given the root cleaning treatment 4 times which was agony. No anasthetic allowed i was told. Since then to my extreme distress I have had to have 10 teeth removed. I visit every3 months and again am getting the root cleaning treatment this week and a further one next week. I use corsodyl toothpaste, mouthwash and the small brushes for cleaning. I feel that thinks are not getting better. I wake up in morning with bad breath and during day my mouth tastes awful. I can feel movement in another tooth. What more can i do. Can you give me any advice. Thanks

You sound like you are in a practice that is dealing with a very difficult situation but at least they are being proactive. YOu could always request a referral to a Periodontist for the best possible advice regarding your gum health.
