The patient above had root planing at the periodontist and was not satisfied
that his periodontal disease was arrested. He was correct. Notice the severe
floss cuts associated with persistent "itchy" and painful chronic inflammation.
In addition, the gums bleed easily. This is due to an inappropriate immune
response, which can be treated effectively using
sub-antimicrobial dose doxycycline – SDD (low dose doxycycline 20mg), and
thoroughly cleaning the roots using periodontal endoscopy. This patient had
residual heavy black calculus (tartar) trapped deep under his gums, left behind
after traditional root planing with the periodontist. Read more about
