I am curious if antibitoic is the standard treatment or first line treatment for periodontal disease?

Hello!

Periodontal disease is treated differently depending on many different factors. Sometimes the treatment includes changing toothpastes and cleaning procedures. Sometimes antibiotics are used. And, in severe cases, affected tissues have to be removed. Your dentist will need to examine you to make this determination.

I hope you feel better soon!
