A lot of teeth can be saved from periodical disease. You need an evaluation from your dentist and/or periodontist. Many teeth with periodontist dz can be saved with gum surgery.
As far as periodontal disease has not gone too far, yes, they can be saved but your dentist and your periodontist will be the best judge after looking at a full picture.
It depends on the severity of the periodontal disease. Consult your local dentist for a referral to a periodontist.
it is possible, but it depends on the severity of the periodontal disease. Depends on how much of your bone surrounding your tooth/teeth have been lost.
Yes, depending on the severity of the disease, if you treat the disease early enough, you can save the teeth.

For the most part if the teeth are not mobile and the periodontitis is under control. Teeth can be saved. The treatment goal with periodontal disease is to slow or arrest the progression. It would be advisable to seek the advise of Periodonist for an examination and treatment plan
It will depend on how much of the supporting bone and gum tissue has been lost as a result of the periodontal disease. It would be a good idea to get a complete exam and X-rays done to evaluate the condition of each tooth.
Hello,
Periodontal disease comes in a variety of different forms and for different reasons which makes diagnosis important. Chronic periodontitis (periodontal disease) is the most common form and it usually starts in the 30s and 40s. This form of periodontal disease is usually very slow and treatable. It is not normally reversible; however, it can be stopped where it is and maintained for the rest of someone's life. Once it is stopped there is also the possibility of gingival (gum) grafts to make the area more aesthetic. The ability to treat chronic periodontal disease depends on which point the disease was first identified, diagnosed and treated. If the teeth had some mild recession before treatment started then with good treatment they are most often saved with no hesitation. If the teeth were loose before the diagnosis and treatment was made then those teeth may or may not be savable.
Hope this helps.
My best to you!
