What Is The Cure For Peridontal Disease?
Hi...I have a dentist appointment in a week. It has been 6 months and they are insisting that besides a cleaning, I MUST have x-rays plus examination. It is very costly. I do have periodontal disease. My dentist seems to not want to clean if I do not do everything. What do you suggest, please?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, you have mentioned that you have Periodontal problem , dont worry see Xray is neccesarry for treatment as doctor see bone loss and Periodontal ligaments and if any Periapical pathology so you you go to dentist and say your problem and you should go for Atleast Cleaning I.e Scaling and root planning
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day you
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health
