Answers:
Floss!! There is a rinse called Chlorahexadine, but you if you have periodontal disease, you must have the bacteria and tartar removed from below your gums in order to get rid of the infection and the floss to prevent it from returning. It can affect your general health if you don't. It can contribute to high blood sugar in diabetics, it is the same bacterial plaque found in the arteries when you have heart disease, I could go on and on. The scary thing is, you can actually spread it to your spouse, or anyone else you kiss. For your health, please go and have a deep cleaning and then FLOSS every day. I have always told my patients, if for some stupid reason you ever had to choose between brushing or flossing, floss.
