Good question: Some would say yes because once you have the bacteria for perio Dz you will always have it in your oral environment as well as those who have more severe cases. So you can not rid yourself from it completely but at your age you can certainly battle it down to a point that you may manage it properly with good home care and regular check ups.

Periodontitis: Periodontitis is certainly treatable and with proper home and professional care, you should be just fine. Follow your provider's instructions and treatment recommendations. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/periodontitis/basics/definition/con-20021679
