QUESTION: I have type 1 diabetes and over the last few years I have had an ongoing problem with my teeth becoming excessively built up with calculus. I currently need to see the hygienist every 3 months for a 45 min to 1 hour visit every time. I don’t mind going to the dentist occasionally, but this is just too much.
Will your products help my situation? I almost placed an order last night, but wanted to know which products, how much, and how often. ~ JH in TX
ANSWER: We find that if you are having your teeth cleaned that often and it takes an hour, someone is not solving the problem, and I don’t mean the patient. It may have a lot to do with a diestemic infection between the upper front central teeth. Read about diastema here. Notice the x-rays in this paper. Have you ever had a space between those upper central teeth or a deviation of that area? Send us your x-ray of #8-9 taken on the midline, like the ones in the paper.
Yes, our Calcium materials really help with healing of the gums, skin and bone, but it may take a little more time due to the diabetes. The homecare kit would be the best to start with and will last for months. Keep in touch with your concerns.
