Left untreated, you will lose teeth. It will take some time to have this happen, but the long-term prognosis is not good. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in patients over 35.

Given your age, YES- depending on how severe your periodontitis is, you should be able to keep your teeth- but you need to treat your periodontitis and get it under control.
