Periodontal disease really stinks!!! I have a Perio cleaining 4 times a year. I see progress over the years, but having to switch dentists so many times (insureance issues) the hygenist does not see my progress. I thought weight loss would help with making my gum "pockets" smaller, because I would be healthier. It is really a struggle that I have had for years and today I am feeling like I will never get my Perio disease into "maintenance". Ugh! The hygenist is considering sending me for my 3rd deep cleaning. These deep cleaings take 4 hours to complete, split into 2 different appointments, and I had to get a total of 20 numbing shots the last time I had one, oh and did I mention the cost is $1,000 and my insurance only cover 1 per lifetime! I have tried every trick in the book. I would like to work it more, but I will need to stall the hygentists recomendation as long as I can. Is there any advice out there?
