What I like about the article
I like the fact that Doctor Quynh explains the fact that many patients have little to no awareness about this disease. She also explained that even those who are suffering from it are not even aware.I want to congratulate Doctor Quynh for helping to raise awareness of this terrible problem that may be affecting 75% or 3 out of every 4 people1 It's important that people learn more about this problem because gum disease is the number one reason that people lose their teeth!
What I Didn't Like
Doctor Quynh explains that she does a thorough cleaning and then has the patient maintain a strict regimen for a couple of weeks.
The problem I see here is that it should be stressed that fighting / preventing gum disease is a daily struggle. Every single day people should mechanically disrupt plaque. The need to fight this battle does not stop after two weeks or when the swelling goes down.
She also didn't mention what this strict regimen entailed. That is disappointing. Did she only mean brushing and flossing? Was there more that she had her patients do?
There are many tools in addition to dental floss and a toothbrush. There is the perio-aid, xylitol, ph balanced, oxygenated mouthwash, essential oils and the Hydro Floss - but there is no mention of any of those in the article.
Wouldn't it be useful for readers to understand what a 'strict' daily regimen looked like? But, I don't intend to be harsh. It's great that she is explaining that people need to be better educated about this problem.
Thanks Dr. Quynh For Writing That Article.
I think it is great anytime a person writes an article or takes the time to educate people about how serious this disease is. That's why I wrote my book: What You Should Know About Gum Disease.
If people just had a little bit of knowledge and understanding, I think that many, many people could avoid expensive treatments that become necessary from having gum disease and lost teeth. If people just knew a little more, much could be prevented.
It's not overly technical and it is not complicated. People just need to know a few things! But it is true, that not everything works for everyone. Every human body is different. This article explains more.
Sincerely,

They can answer those questions and provide you with advice, diagnosis and treatment. This article cannot do that. But I hope it helps you to figure out how to prevent expensive problems down the road.
