One of the key concepts about gum disease is that it is a daily struggle. As you have probably heard at sometime in your life: The daily disruption of plaque is crucial to your success.

Since the daily disruption of plaque is important, it stands to reason that you cannot rely solely on your regular periodontal office visits. As your doctor and hygienist will agree, what you do at home is very, very important.
Gum disease is a big problem today. A lot of people have it whether they know it or not. It also happens to be the primary (#1) Cause of tooth loss in this world.
That's a tragedy folks. In most cases it does not have to be that way.
Periodontal Pockets
The measurements of your periodontal pockets provides your baseline and guage to know whether what you do at home + your in office visits are working for you.
Generally speaking, you want your periodontal pockets to be 3mm and below. Generally speaking again, most dentists will consider your gums healthy when all of your periodontal pockets measure 3 mm or below.
So, for most people shrinking those pockets is going to be the key to success. Failure to do so, as a corollary, is the key to failure.
I've written a tremendous amount of background information, in easy to understand terms, in the book: What You Should Know About Gum Disease : A Layman's Guide To Fighting Gum Disease. I suggest you get a copy and read it from cover to cover. There is a wealth of information in there.
The most powerful tool that I have found, bar none, is this. And I believe you should get one of them and start using it. I have posted guidelines in the above free publication, How To Stop Gum Disease In 4 Easy steps. It's free so you might as well get it and read it, starting today.
Finally, I want to point out that I speak in general terms in all of my information. And it is important that you are under the care of a skillful and good periodontist. He can provide advice, diagnosis and treatment for you.
Yet, the above publications and information is very important to you. As I mentioned before, and your doctor will likely agree, what you do at home is of the utmost importance. The daily disruption of plaque is the main key to your success. And since you cannot see your doctor every day - what you do at home, on your own, is crucial. Again, ask your doctor if you don't believe me.
