What will happen when periodontal disease has removed all of your teeth?

Q. What will happen when periodontal disease has removed all of your teeth, or after a tooth extraction? Will you still have gum disease? Will it restore? Please help me out.

A. Yes, you can still get gum disease if you are edentulous (having no teeth). Proper care and hygiene must be followed. And you must see the periodontist just as you would the doctor for checkups (which means even if nothing hurts). Complete or partial dentures can cause hypoplasia also, which are like blisters on the tissue.
