What is the cure for peridontal disease?
Patient: Hi...I have a dentist appointment in a week.  It has been 6 months and they are insisting that besides a cleaning, I MUST have x-rays plus examination.  It is very costly.  I do have periodontal disease.  My dentist seems to not want to clean if I do not do everything.  What do you suggest, please?
