A member asked:
How long and to what extent does bone loss due to periodontitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forever: Bone loss from periodontitis is permanent... the bone doesn't grow back. If suffering from this issue, have yourself treated by a periodontist, arrest the bone loss, and maintain your oral health. In this way you will retain your teeth for years to come. The alternative is premature loss.
