Did you know periodontal disease cannot be cured by any other treatment?

The only real cure for periodontal disease is to have all of the teeth removed and replaced with a full set of implant-supported teeth. When periodontal disease is diagnosed, it cannot be reversed by medications or nonsurgical treatments. Modern treatments for the disease are often related to prevention and management rather than providing a cure. The only way to fully get rid of periodontal disease is to extract the infection at its source by extracting the teeth. The bacteria cannot live, so the periodontal disease leaves the body. The teeth will then be replaced with a full set of implant-supported teeth.
