Using an anti-microbial mouthwash like Listerine on a daily basis along with good oral-hygiene habits like thoroughly brushing twice a day and flossing can help to control the amount of harmful bacteria present in the mouth. Patients who have periodontal disease cannot reverse any bone loss that has already occurred, but you can work with your Lincoln dentist to keep your periodontal disease in remission by being seen regularly for periodontal maintenance visits and practicing good home-care. Your Lincoln dentist may also recommend trying some lifestyle changes like lowering your sugar intake, exercising, taking vitamin D and Omega 3 along with a good probiotic.
