Visitor asks:
Hello!
About a month ago I visited a dentist for a check-up to see whether everything was all right. However, she referred me for an X-ray of all my teeth because she was surprised that I might have periodontal disease at age 36. The images showed that I am at the beginning of this disease. At the last visit she removed tartar and said she would refer me to a clinic in Ljubljana so they could see what is going on and decide on treatment, because she feels this is all happening too early for my age. At the pharmacy I bought Curasept mouthwash, Parodontax toothpaste and dental floss. I would like to know what you think about this and what I should do. I would like to do something as soon as possible, or at least limit or stop what is happening. Could you help me somehow, even if only with advice or also with a visit at your practice?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards!

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The diagnosis of the condition of the periodontal tissues is established after examining a panoramic X-ray. At our practice we can make such an X-ray, evaluate the existing condition and propose appropriate treatment. Since your dentist has already referred you to a specialist in periodontal diseases, I of course recommend that you see that specialist. In any case, even without the examinations mentioned, we recommend intensified oral hygiene using the products already mentioned, since the main cause of periodontal disease is precisely the presence of bacterial plaque.
Have a nice day!
