i craige here.
im 33 male and have type 1 diabeties for 7
years now.
13 months ago i noteced my gums had swolen
up a little, so i went to the docs, and
she said i had gigervitus, and gave me
some tablets, call metro? something." the
one you musnt not drink alco with".
anyway, i took all the course, and my gums
didnt get better, so i went to my
densist.
and he said i had peridontitis, and id to
keep brushing and it will go.
12 weeks later and it stll havent got
better.
any way 13 months on and it still havent
gone.
will it ever go?.
ive lost half my gums, and im starting to
effect my speech. i have been going to the
dentist every 12 weeks, and he seems to
think it will go, but i dont believe him
because there is holes starting to show,on
my gumline,like where the roots are. .
is they anything i can do, my dentist said
he would do a deep clean, but will this be
enuf?.
thanks very worried man,

You should use a mouth wash such as
listerene--brushing is not always enought
to get below the gumline where a lot of
bacteria "hides out" a deep cleaning will
definately help but you need to keep it up
and take really good care to keep it
clean. it may take a while to go away

because your diabetic condition you should
go to a periodontist periodontitis is a
disease that has to be treated by root
planning an curretage , and improving your
oral care ,flossing every day ,brushing
after meals ,and using prescription
products like peridex and metronidazole
...the thing is that to control the
disease you have to do all of this using
just antibiotics without the root planning
and everything else is a waste of time and
money. by the way Listerine does not help
in the cure of periodontitis.....
periodontitis in diabetic patients is
worse than in non diabetic and if you dont
receive treatment it could have serious
consequences on your health

of course deep cleanings work that is the
same thing I was telling you, the correct
term is root planning and curetteage .

and diabetes it will help you http://w

You can also use a mouthwash and
toothpaste called "spry". It has xylitol
and no added sugar in it. It prevents
everything regular toothpaste does and
also helps with dry mouth symptoms.
