A member asked:
Would my teeth fall out from periodontal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This can happen: Periodontal disease destroys the bone that holds your teeth. As the disease advances your teeth can get loose and eventually fall out. This can happen without ever having pain. If you have this problem see a periodontist.
