Periodontal hygienist says it is just gingivitis and not gum disease... Yet in spite of my good oral hygiene - brushing, interdental brushes, floss, mouthwash - it just isn't reducing the inflammation. I am pretty certain it is periodontal disease. Surely if it was just gingivitis it would have improved by now?
I have had gum problems since last Oct and they aren't getting better, in spite of a scale and polish. The periodontal hygienist said I don't need a deep clean apparently...
