What is a homeopathic way to stop the progression of periodontal disease?

Issue
I have an aggressive form of periodontitis. In some places, I have 50% bone loss. I have had scaling done, twice. My gums are not responding to these procedures as well as the dentists predicted. I use fluoride-free toothpaste (recommended by an herbalist). I am otherwise healthy. HELP!!

Best Tip

Continue seeing your Dentist for treatment...but, do not stop being pro-active in your own healing. (brush and floss)
Think about what periodontitis is...it is an infectious disease...and your body has the ability to resist diseases through the immune system. Research how you can 'boost' your weakened immune system and apply what you learn. (dietary changes, supplementation, exercise etc.)
Taking drugs, drinking alcohol, excess sugar consumption and smoking, weaken the immune response greatly, so if you do any of these things...you'll need to stop.
A good 'natural' mouth wash you might have some success with is a combination of..lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic oil (a few drops), tea tree oil (few drops) salt, in a little bit of alcohol (can be gin or vodka)...make it yourself at home and swoosh it around in your mouth a few times a day, and 'spit out'...Your breath might stink but, it does help draw out and kill impurities from the gums...
I wish you well...have a happy day...

Homeopathy treatment is assessed by a long list of questions and is best done by a qualified practioner for you to get the right treatment. That said, a pharmacist with knowledge of treatments may be able to recommend a product to you.
Good luck with getting treatment it sounds painful :(
The site below is a forum, you may be able to get some more detailed advice there.

Fluoride-free toothpaste is horseshit and a waste of money. Your problem isn't the devil-chemicals in toothpaste, your problem is oral hygiene. Obviously you either haven't been brushing regularly or you've been neglecting trips to the dentist and it's caused your periodontitis. Your best course of action at this point is to see if scaling treatments should be continued (up to 4 scalings isn't unusual), and see if surgical treatment is going to be needed.

If your dentist finds that surgery could correct the problem, I recommend that you have it done as soon as possible. You respond much better to surgery at a young age and so does your body. Stick with the scaling as necessary and use the mouth wash as directed.

Otherwise, bacteria is about as homeopathic as it gets--it's nature's natural processes destroying your teeth as they have for millions of years. I suggest you stop buying into this marketing scam and get a grip. The answer here is education, information, and responsibility, using real science and credible practitioners (dentists) not some hokey wives' tale cure-all.
Here's what you do start taking Coq10 it will help your gums. As to bone loss I take Ioni Fuzz it's a drink that has calcium and other minerals to help build bone. It may take a few weeks for this to work, In the meantime buy some pure aloe vera gel and apply it to your gums this will relieve the pain and help start the healing process.
If you can't find Ioni fuzz at your health store it's available at this website. I know this stuff works because I gave it to my girlfriend when she broke her arm...she called to tell me it healed after just 2 weeks.
