Periodontal disease is the number one cause of tooth loss. But the good news is I’m most cases it can be successfully treated. Please excuse any errors due to dictation to phone!
That depends on the severity of the disease, how fast it has progressed, and the remaining bone levels. There are many things that can be done before losing teeth. Consult your own dentist for a plan.
It depends on the severity of your disease. Periodontal disease can be treated and your teeth can be saved if the disease is not too severe. Check with your periodontist.
Generally not if you treat the disease and maintain your teeth properly going forward. You cannot ignore it.
If left untreated yes.
Periodontal disease causes bone loss and bone is the foundation for the teeth. In severe periodontal disease, you lose your teeth. We would love to have you as a patient In our New York or New Jersey office if you are local.
