Gum Disease Ask The Dentist Edward Leventhal

Question:
Dentures for Periodontal Problems? I have been to many many dentists and periodontists with no luck.

I have my teeth cleaned every 3-4 months but have been told I have moderate gum disease with some pocketing. My teeth look good but I have problems with my tongue being coated and feeling like I have a breath problem.

I have expressed concern about removing my teeth but am told I shouldn't do that. I do have a permanent bridge in the front left side of my mouth. I have tried every product on the market to try to solve this problem.

Would you recommend that dentures on my upper mouth would be the right decision? Please give me some advice because no one else seems to know the answer. ...Visitor from VA

Answer:
Do not look at dentures as a solution. There is a process that directly addresses your situation. Go to perioprotect.com and look for a dentist near you who provides that service.

Your problem will no longer be a problem.
