Okay so the question is can you leave gum disease treatment for a later stage?
How urgent is it, to treat gum disease right away ?
and the answer to that is that its really urgent to treat it
immediately.
The longer you leave it, the more damage can be done
and this damage is irreversible
and leads to an increased risk of losing some teeth
later
on in life - well - the teeth that have been affected anyway.
Sometimes gum
disease can be localised in several teeth, or sometimes it can be generalised to all of the teeth
so that will determine whether
the problem will be with some, or with all of your teeth.
So the sooner you treat the gum disease the more chance of keeping all your teeth for the rest of your life.
