I have definitely got gum disease. the papilla either side of my upper right incisor has retraced and exposed two pin sized holes either side of my tooth which look a tiny margin bigger every time I floss. at this point how far has the (and I assume this is the case) periodontitis gone? I am booked in at my hygienist very soon where I will have it cleaned, but in a mean time and afterwards is there anything you can suggest? for example with mouthwash, will this make it worse (forcing acid through a small hole- wont that make the hole bigger) and if not which do I use? corsodyl is for gums and the Colgate ones for teeth isn’t it? I would appreciate any help you could give me. thank you.
