Hey all,
My father appears to have contracted pyorrhea. The gums look pale and receding. He’s tried a week of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin for a brush with a different illness (got over that fast) but his gums and jaw still hurt. Unfortunately he eats sugar like an ant and like many on said drug it’s very hard to get off.
Anyone know best treatment for Pyorrhea? He’s going to see his dentist but for a variety of reasons can’t until next week.
Prayers welcome and encouraged.
Sometimes I use iodine such as lugols iodine / potassium iodide dropped in small amounts over a tooth or part of a gum which is giving me issues due to infection.
It can stain your mouth and tastes pretty strong and you don't want to swallow more than a drop or two really, but it arrests any toothache for me.
