I.ve suffered gum disease over years found no appropriate treatment, can I be given some advice? please.

When you say suffered - have you been diagnosed?

Gum disease is treated as follows:

1.) Your dentist will teach you how to clean your teeth well (2xday, correct technique, flossing, interdental bruses)

2.) Your dentist/hygienist may scale your teeth (if severe disease - scaling is done after gums are numbed)

3.) Then will call you back after a while to check if the cleaning has worked

NB! your dentist can clean your teeth, but that's only a small fraction of the treatment - the rest is up to you with upholding a good daily cleaning regime being the most important factor
