FAQ

What happens if periodontal disease is left untreated?

If periodontal disease is left untreated, various symptoms will appear in the gums, such as easy bleeding, soggy gums, and a feeling that the teeth are loose. It is a terrible disease that eventually dissolves the bone that supports the teeth and causes the teeth to fall out. Periodontal disease infects not only one tooth, but also the surrounding teeth, so if left untreated, it can cause the loss of many teeth. In addition, recent research has shown that "periodontal disease and systemic diseases" are very closely related. There are various possible causes of periodontal disease, but once it progresses, patients cannot cure it themselves, so if you suspect that you have periodontal disease, we recommend that you visit a dentist as soon as possible.
