I wanted to add that I went to my dental hygienist today and had the pockets measured around my mouth. What used to be 3, 4s, 5s and 6s now are 1s with an occasional 2, one 3, and one 4.
This is the result of UT on periodontal illness over six months!
I have found other things that help and that I keep up on, but the UT is what has made the biggest difference. If I neglect it for one or two days, the pain comes back and my gums become inflamed.
