it is possible to hold on to your teeth with periodontal disease.
Yes. You should see a Periodontist for an evaluation.
If you aren't smoking.
Yes you can save your teeth. At your age gum disease is in its earliest stage, gingivitis. This is reversible with deeper cleanings performed by your dentist, hygienist or periodontist. This disease can also cause bone loss which is not reversible. If you lose too much bone, you will lose teeth. Seek out treatment athe earlier stage to prevent tooth loss.
Yes, teeth with periodontal disease usually can be saved with proper treatment, most often starting with deep cleaning and followed by regular maintenance care and good oral hygiene.
Depending upon the extent of the bone loss, proper care by both dentistry and you should be able to save your teeth.
