Since I had my Perioscopy treatment with Dr Longbottom I have been really impressed with the great improvement in my gums and health of my teeth. I can now eat and not worry about loosening a tooth or teeth. Before the treatment my teeth were very loose and close to falling out and I thought I would have to have my teeth replaced.
