Hello! I am 22 years old and have been struggling with juvenile periodontitis for about 2 years now. I have been trying to maintain a good oral hygiene along with taking the antibiotics which seemed to help- my gums stopped bleeding and are not as redish as they used to be.

Thank you very much in advance.
