Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have been diagnosed with severe gum disease and my periodontist says I need surgery that will cost $11,000 which includes bone grafts and will need to follow up with antibiotics. He is somewhat holistically oriented and was refered to me by my holistic dentist, so I am thinking that I want to trust his judgment, but can't help wondering if there is some sort of alternative. My deepest pocket is 13 mm, with lots of 7's, 8's and 9's in there. I am only 37 years old which is supposed to be very rare for someone my age. Additionally, such deep pockets are rare for even an older person. By the way, about a year ago, I switched my diet from a SAD diet to a somewhat raw and somewhat Nourishing Traditions diet. I know my problem started before the diet switch because I was having puffiness and inflamation before I changed my diet. Does anyone know what alternative are available to me or what other groups I can turn to for advice. Thank you. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
