Joined: May 2009 Posts: 1,412 | Have any of you had problems with your gums since treatment? I have been told that I may need a graft as they continue to get worse not better. My perio said it was due to the dry mouth. Well, how do I fix that? I do everything I can to keep it moist, biotene, oasis, water all day long, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
