What happens if I decide not to have treatment?

Gum disease progresses painlessly on the whole so that you do not notice the damage it is doing. However, the bacteria are sometimes more active and this makes your gums sore. As a result, this can lead to gum abscesses, and pus may ooze from around the teeth. Over a number of years, the bone supporting the teeth can be lost. Therefore, if the disease is left untreated for a long time, treatment can become more difficult. If the bone loss around the teeth is not controlled then teeth may become loose, the gums may shrink and teeth may be lost. In some cases teeth will become abscessed and may cause significant pain.

There is also compelling evidence that untreated periodontal disease can have effects on general health and is closely linked to other diseases such as heart disease and Alzheimers. In recent years gum disease has been linked with general health conditions such as diabetes, strokes, cardiovascular disease, poor pregnancy outcomes and even dementia. More research is needed to understand how these links work but there is more evidence that having a healthy mouth and gums can help improve your general health and reduce the costs of medical treatment.
