Q: I was diagnosed with severe gum disease. Will my teeth most likely fall out? Even if I get laser treatment done and scalping? If so, when?
A: If you have severe gum disease, the likelihood of keeping your remaining teeth without extreme care and hygiene and combined complex treatment specialists is questionable. Realistically, you must commit to making this a primary daily priority. At your age you must consider saving bone, not necessarily teeth, to function into your 80’s. See a prosthonontist for a full evaluation, consider implants.
