I am temporarily in the USA, I will stay here for another year. The doctor I was diagnosed with - gum infection, suggests treatment by a specialist. Having no insurance in the US, I am not able to follow this advice. What should I do in such a situation, what preventive measures should be taken?
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a specific treatment plan without consultation. I don't know what stage the infection is at. There are many preparations, e.g. for rinsing the mouth (Dentosept, Parogencyl, Paroplak, Eludril), please also buy a new, soft toothbrush and brush them, trying to "stretch" the gums over the teeth.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
