Here is my way of answering your questions:

One cannot sterilize the mouth, period. The action of antibiotics is to
bring the NUMBER of pathogens down to a level where your system can keep
them under control. Antibiotics cannot eliminate them for good. They
cannot be considered a chronic therapy.

The aim of therapy (not cure; THERAPY for this chronic disease) is to
keep the number of pathogens down to a managable quantity. This is done
by eliminating their homes: Plaque and Tartar, and by eliminating the
areas where they can hide.

How often? Every three months or four at the outside.

As SB has said: you can eliminate your pockets by repositioning the gum
tissue higher on the root. You will STILL need to keep the recall
appointments to PREVENT the disease from becoming active again.

Run to Staples and get an indelible marker. Buy a soft or ultra soft
tooth brush and write the date three months from now on it using the
marker. When that day arrives, throw out your tooth brush and get
another one. Mark it again. Repeat till the end of time.

A diabetic cannot eliminate his disease by taking insulin one time.
S/he needs it as therapy on a chronic basis.

Likewise in Periodontal disease, the therapy is done by the
hygienist/dentist/periodontist. No reason your regular dentist cannot
participate with some of the regular disinfection/cleanings.

Take heart: some of the Powers that Be are predicting that gene
therapies aimed at eliminating the inflammatory response to plaque will
be here in ten years or so.

Hope this makes things clearer.
