@sueinmn Thank you, Sue.
After phrasing my question a few different ways, I finally got this response from doctor’s assistant, "PMN's in the smear are just dead mouth bugs. If PMN's grow inside the culture, then that would indicate active infection.” That explanation helps me understand why they don’t see this as in indication for treatment.
