Dr. Mike, hi again and thank you for your reply. I may have posted this in the wrong section so I am posting again here.

Ken has just seen a periodontist for gingivitis & periodontal disease. He is going to have 4 treatments of scaling/root planing hoping to avoid surgery. He has a few loose teeth (he was suppose to have a bridge done but that is not advised now).

We are just trying to save some money regarding the toothpaste with the 1.1% sodium fluoride @ $15 a tube (a very small tube at that). He does use the MI Paste which he also gets from the dentist.

His salivary glands, after 4 yrs., are still not functioning. I wonder if they ever will. He does use the fluoride trays every evening.

Thanks for your support and help.

Ken's wife Linda

PS - ever check into the dental appliance I mentioned that delivers water to the mouth? Very expensive here in IL!
