Can periodontitis be minimized by the use of oral antibiotics? Could you suggest a medicine for relief before catching up with dental appointment? Thanks doctor.

Hello Lybrate user, no periodontitis cannot be cured with antibiotics. You have to get a treatment done.

You need to go for cleaning n if required any other procedures. Only medicine will not take care of the problem. It might decrease but not solve the problem.
