For the past years I’ve been dealing with bone loss and receding gums. I’ve been able to “stabilize” the disease after figuring out a few things on my own- which means my gums are no longer bleeding and I haven’t had to have any more of those awful gum flap surgeries which don’t work anyway. I go for cleanings every three months due to plaque build up. There is one area with a deep pocket which I need to work extra hard on now. I brush my teeth and use a hydroflosser, xylitol, and mouthwash.If I could heal this it would be a relief as even the cleanings are painful.
