Gum disease can take many visits to treat due to the chronic nature of the infection. There is often no quick fix. Persevere and follow your dentists recommendations

If my dentist perscribes antibiotics will it be by perscription for me to get them from a pharmacy or will the dentist have them in the surgery? Thank you
