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. What I am very unhappy about are now the large black triangles between teeth because of the gum reduction. Could you please help me find the best way how to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
