[QUOTE="Sweetana, post: 369676, member: 57972"] Hi! I'm diabetic (type 1) for 26 years and yes I too have gum disease for several years now. I've followed all my dentist recomendations about washing, flossing and brushing, I use a gum disease toothpaste, a soft brush, I too wash with Hydrogen Peroxide (yes it works better than anything else) but there's something I'd like to share with you and would love to know if someone's been through the same. Due to the gum disease I've had a couple of microsurgeries in wich I had a bit of palate's gum removed to be stitched to the gum lacking in my lower jaw. I've had these surgeries twice because I've got two lose teeth actually. These surgeries took place about 6 years ago. It's done with local anesthesia, but once that effect goes away it's the closest to Hell I've ver been - it seems that the further it heals the more it hurts and the dentist didn't prescribe me with any pain killer... So what I really want to know is, has anyone been through something like this? As I am from Portugal I guess some therapy guidelines may differ from yours.
