[|Human|] I went to a dentist and he says I have peridontal disease and must be on Periostat for @ least 9 months. I have talked to nurses, RNS and they save they have never heard of being on antibiotics for that long. The nurses have told me it could cause heart infection break down my immune system and several other  things I didnt understand. I am deathly scared of dentist and that is why I waited so long to go.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Cause of occurrence of periodontal infection has to be evaluated and treatment has to be planned based on that. Get a thorough scaling done. If there is bone loss, osseous respective surgery has to be done. Antibiotics can only just relieve the underlying infection by acting on microorganisms. I would suggest you to visit a periodontist for further reference. Take care.
