I'm in the same situation you were 18 months ago. I've just been told I need root planing on all four quadrants as an initial treatment at my dentist. I found Judy Carroll's site and have emailed her. It's so encouraging to hear so many positive stories from fellow sufferers and I've been pretty much convinced that I'll have to have RPE asap. Did you have any qualms at all and how did your uk dentist react to your treatment? I also live in the uk and have found dentists here most unsympathetic, sadly.View Thread
