I have periodontitis, can I really just wait to die?

With early treatment, it will be well controlled. Periodontitis is an inflammation of the soft tissue and alveolar bone tissue around the teeth. It is mainly characterized by red and swollen gums, bleeding, and odor in the mouth. As the disease progresses, gum recession and gaps between teeth may also occur. As periodontitis continues to progress, the bone supporting the teeth gradually absorbs, and the teeth may become loose and fall out.

Depending on the severity of periodontitis symptoms, basic treatment can be performed first, including scaling and scaling of the entire mouth of teeth, and removal of calculus and granulation tissue around the teeth to eliminate inflammation. If symptoms are severe, periodontal evaluation can be performed again 1.5-2 months after basic treatment. If the patient's periodontitis is not well controlled, periodontal surgery may be performed. If the tooth is not sensitive to the above treatments, it may be necessary to extract the tooth early to prevent the infection from spreading.
